Editorial Review:
Happy Gilmore
Adam Sandler fans are sure to enjoy this no-brainer comedy, but everyone else is strongly advised to proceed with caution. Before scoring a more enjoyable hit with his 1998 comedy The Wedding Singer, the former Saturday Night Live goofball played Happy Gilmore, a hot-tempered guy whose dreams of hockey stardom elude him. But when he discovers his gift for driving golf balls hundreds of yards, he joins a pro tour to win the prize money needed to rescue his beloved grandma's home from IRS repossession. The trouble is, Happy's not so happy. He's got a temper that frequently flares on the golf course (he even dukes it out with celebrity golfer Bob Barker), but a retired golf pro (Carl Weathers) and a compassionate publicist (Julie Bowen) help him to perfect his putting game and adjust his confrontational attitude. How much you enjoy this lunacy depends on your tolerance for Sandler's loudmouthed schtick and a shocking number of blatant product-placement endorsements, but if you're looking for broad comedy you've come to the right teeoff spot. --Jeff Shannon
Billy Madison
For Adam Sandler fans only, this dopey comedy features the former Saturday Night Live star as an overindulged rich guy whose father insists he repeat grades 1 through 12 before taking over the family business. The scenario is perfect for Sandler's infantile leanings (which he has fortunately outgrown in more recent movies), and for the most part the jokes about being too old and too big for the experiment are obvious. Chris Farley and Steve Buscemi turn up in uncredited cameo appearances, but otherwise the film is pretty dismissible, except for those diehards who can't get enough of Sandler. --Tom Keogh
The Billy Madison/Happy Gilmore Collection (Widescreen Special Edition) Reviews:
Classics! 
2008-10-06 - Two of my favorite movies of all time in one package! You cannot go wrong with Adam Sandler. These movies are so funny, you can't help but laugh. In fact, I have seen them so many times that I can quote them without the movie and laugh anyway. If you have not seen these, you are missing out!
The Billy Madison/Happy Gilmore Collection
2007-02-14 - Absolutely love Adam Sandler! I have ever since his "Saturday Night Live" days. I think I now own allof his Happy Madison production movies and all of the movies he has played in.
Great Deal
2007-01-10 - This is a great deal if you are a Adam Sandler fan. Two very funny movies that can be watched over and over again. Great value!
That Veronica Vaughn is one hot piece of ace, I know from experience dude. If you know what I mean.
2007-01-07 - I am not sure what the hell you want me to say about these movies. There great, and in the same box. Damn you Adam Sandler, taking all my money. It just feels so damn good. You can't go wrong with this box set, nor each movie by themselves. SO GO WATCH THEM. NOW! Then when your done, you tell me your review...
Billy Idiot 
2007-01-03 - Happy Gilmore is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. Then I watched Billy Madison and it was about a totally moronic spoilt rich kid. Total opposites sometimes don't atract.
