Happy Gilmore

On top of portraying ideas that the audience can relate to, Dugan uses the same actors repeatedly, and both unique styles of directing are demonstrated in the two films; Happy Gilmore and Grown Ups.

He would get upset over little things like soy sauce or freak out if one of his movies was out of place. All of my brother’s peculiarities, I later learned…

“caused his death by telling [her] parents [she] was a [lesbian];” however, she then deems this conjecture as “illogical” because “causality implies connection [and] you can’t lay hands on a fictional character” (84), adding to the sense of disconnect between reality versus fiction in her vision of Bruce and the fictitious detective-story-aura by trying to figure out her father’s motive.
