Sandler plays a bad-tempered hockey star, who, in need of
some quick cash for his grandma, turns his talents to the world of golf.
Fans of Adam Sandler might appreciate this piece of his
early work, a mix of crude slapstick and Looney Tunes-style visual gags. Those who aren't a fan of Sandler will find it about as funny as a kick in the bollocks.
