Production edit

You might find this Huffington Post article that mentions the work of Mark Lye as a consultant on the film useful to expanding the Production section of the article.

I thought about adding it myself but since you're already working on the Production section maybe you could include it in your draft. -- 109.79.80.26 (talk) 23:50, 6 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

Thanks. I'm currently preoccupied with another project, but I'll add it as soon as I'm done. JOEBRO64 20:51, 7 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

Despite edit

"Despite its success at the box office, Happy Gilmore was released to "scathing reviews""

Wikipedia editors have a habit of claiming that one thing is "despite" another thing, but it is a dubious line of reasoning ("after therefore because of") that I don't agree with. The source screenrant phrases it slightly differently, "a series of financially successful (if not critically successful) films, and millions of dollars of box office revenue." which is a subtle difference but I hope you can see it is different and a more neutral point of view. Even when the source say things like "scathing reviews" I would try to take the neutral POV anyway.

Lots of other great work, which is why a small detail like that sticks out. I look forward to you merging your Production section into the main article soon. -- 109.79.84.158 (talk) 19:47, 18 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

The source says at one point "Despite receiving some Razzies and some pretty scathing reviews, Happy Gilmore made a huge smash at the box office that year." Regardless, I see what you mean and will try to address it. Also still have to flesh out the casting section a bit, but the development section is largely good to go IMO.

Unless you'd like to do it yourself I'd really like to copy over your Production section into the main article already. If you don't object (or do it yourself first) I will copy just the Production section within a week or so. I'll make sure to include your username a backlink to this draft page in my edit summary too. -- 109.78.245.27 (talk) 22:31, 2 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Not trivial edit

I've got to say you have done an excellent job of including details in the production section that most editors would dismiss as trivia, and I would struggle to find an appropriate way to integrate into the article myself. (Case in point, Carl Weather's hand.) Again, nice work. -- 109.79.188.34 (talk) 21:13, 19 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
