Happy Gilmore Is A Cult Classic

As longtime Adam Sandler fans know, he has been churning out hit movies for decades. Some viewers may argue that the early ’90s to the early 2000s was his heyday, but, even now, the actor continues to produce films that keep audiences tuning in.

If you look back, one of those films from that Adam Sandler heyday is none other than Happy Gilmore. The film came out all the way back in 1996. It ended up grossing $41M at the box office on only a $12M budget. So, there was a major return when it came to this comedy classic.
