How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A high-energy comedy that channels genuine rage and competitive spirit into absurd golf chaos. It's a feel-good underdog story filtered through pure Adam Sandler manic energy, where the heart matters as much as the laughs.

Reviews
If you're not a golf or hockey fanatic, don't worry, this film is still for you. This is one of Adam Sandler's best films and features hysterical cameos from the late Bob Barker (The Price Is Right game show), Richard Kiel, and sportscaster Verne Lundquist. In addition, it also stars (in smaller roles) Ben Stiller and Carl Weathers. Classic one-liners, a silly story, and a predictable ending make this one of the greatest comedies of all time.
