Happy Gilmore
: :Heavy-metal golf with Adam Sandler, a 1996 dry run of the wild-man-athlete formula that paid off so handsomely in The Waterboy. There are some irresistibly funny sequences, although you may hate yourself for laughing at the mean-spirited slapstick. This isn't a classic golf comedy, like the Bill Murray vehicle Caddyshack, but as a hot-tempered would- be hockey player who finds an unexpected métier as a power golfer, Sandler has a short-fuse shtick that's effectively deployed. He's like a punk rocker gleefully out of his element, puncturing the country-club atmosphere by using the fairway ...

Stranger Than Fiction (1999)
: :A group of best buddies prepare themselves to dispose of a cop's naked corpse that just happens to be resting on the floor of nice guy Mackenzie Astin's (Jared Roth) apartment. Accident? Murder? Something even more sinister? It hardly matters as the cover-up only leads to more dead bodies, driving trust-fund idiot Natasha Gregson Wagner (far too convincing as a blathering bubblehead) completely loony: she starts lining up future victims with the enthusiasm of an assassin in training. That's just the first act of this darkly comic tale of murder and manipulation among ...

That Championship Season (1999)
: :When an all-star team of great actors runs a play with drama and depth, everyone is a winner. That Championship Season is purely an actor's game. And no wonder. The author is actor Jason Miller (who played the fallen priest in The Exorcist), and when the author is an actor, the goal in the game is character. Miller's script constantly reveals new layers through the characters' intense, emotional scenes. Twenty years after five underdogs won the state basketball championship, they are cheered at a reunion and head home to reminisce. Now their big ...
