The Virginal Vixen: Virginia Venit (Julie Bowen)

The Villain: Shooter McGavin (Christopher McDonald)

The Premise: Sandler plays the titular character, a mediocre hockey player who trades in his puck for a tee to save his grandmother's house from the greedy McGavin. With a little help from his mentor Chubbs (Carl Weathers), he takes on his rival in the PGA tournament.

The Anger Factor: Very high. Don't be fooled by the name: Sandler is not a happy camper in this outing (just ask Bob Barker). In fact, much of the film deals with Happy's attempts to control his outbursts, to the chagrin of his much-maligned caddy and conservative love interest (Bowen). Still, Sandler's fury has very funny results.
