Parents need to know that the biggest red flag for this movie is the cursing and violent behavior of Happy Gilmore (Adam Sandler). His short fuse results in a number of skirmishes, including an extended (comic) fight scene with Bob Barker. The two brutally pound on each other until Gilmore is eventually knocked unconscious. Another scene has Gilmore threaten another golfer with the shards of a broken beer bottle. The profanity shies away from sexual comments, and is comprised mostly of the F word and the S word. Kids will enjoy Sandler's over-the-top and abrasive humor, as well as the ongoing joke of a golfer's handicapped hand that had been eaten by an alligator.
Positive messages:Protagonist is violent and uses a lot of profanity, but has a good heart.
Violence:Violence is portrayed in a comic manner. A couple of fistfights, protagonist threatens another person with a broken bottle.
Sex:Masturbation references, protagonist has fantasy of a woman in lingerie.
so, it was pretty clean for the most part... LOTS of swearing, there had to be at least 50 f/s words but most of it was "caught on camera" therefore it was bleeped out. But overall, it was funny and entertaining, and i for 1 thing love golf so it was awesome. The whole family can enjoy it. If you liked Caddyshack, you'll like thiss!!! (even though caddyshack is way better XD)
Fantastic film. Very laugh-out-loud. Quite a lot of swearing and a few short snaps of violence, but nothing too bad. What is also quite funny is that it's like a grown man throwing a foul-mouthed temper tantrum throughout the whole film!
Very good movie one of my favorites. One scene has a ton of cussing and cursing, but is viewed on a TV and all the cuss words are censured out. At the end everyone learns a lesson and is a happy ending.
It has profanity, but it helps show kids with strong emotion positive messages, like "Anger Management" but the language still does overpower the positives, I saw it when i was 9, it was pretty profane, but moral I think it is OK for tweens with parental guidance, It is goofy and dumb, but hilarious and a liitle moral :)
There isn't a lot of sexual content, but when it is present, it is somewhat brutal. There is a lot of profanity, mostly bleeped out on television for laughs. Violence is also played for laughs, but it is brutal-like fist fighting.
Parents need to know that this is a great hilarious profane filled comedy classic.But it says the "s" word numerous times and the original h**l,d**n,a*s,b***h,and b*****d.Also,it has mild comic sexuality with 2 or 3 scenes of a girl in lingerie for about 5 seconds.And you see a male's butt twice in this film.But, a great,funny comedy
This is the BEST movie of all time! There is a lot of language. In the review it says f__k but it is censored out on tv so no problem there. Not really any sex. A couple scenes with the PR directer holding beer pitchers. Only comic violence.... This is a MUST SEE
My cousin showed it to me and it was hilarious. Lots of s@!% and lots of the a-word though. Two butt scenes. The only violence is comedy stuff like a man restling an alligator for a golf ball so thats why i didnt say it was an issue.
