OK so Adam Sandler's humour is getting a little old these days but I feel that I must stand up for the classics; and Happy Gilmore is over the top Sandler at his best. The adults of the family were pleased that we still laughed at a lot of it and the kid just thought it was super weird (especially the dwarf in the dream sequence. Good times). I somehow feel this is the appropriate response to one's first exposure to Adam Sandler.
Rating: It's super immature and silly but you gotta watch this at least once.
Naughty bits: This one is strictly for the older kid. Lingerie shots, sexual innuendos, bad language, fist fights, drinking. Yeah, there's plenty here to be warned about but overall the story is sweet and the bad guys get their comeuppance. Watch together at your discretion.
IMDB has a great parent's guide which gives more details and helps you make an informed decision.
