USA Today -
Slap Happy. [16 February 1996, p.D4]

ReelViews -
Several strokes short of a respectable finish.

San Francisco Chronicle -
It may smell awful from a distance, especially if you have low tolerance for lowbrow humor, but up close this yarn about an unlikely golf star is fairly painless.

Los Angeles Times -
The result is a movie that's hard to laugh at when its hero would surely be either in jail or perhaps even a mental institution were he to behave the way he does on screen in real life.

Chicago Sun-Times -
Tells the story of a violent sociopath. Since it's about golf, that makes it a comedy.
