Production
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)

 * Thanks. I'm currently preoccupied with another project, but I'll add it as soon as I'm done. JOE BRO  64  20:51, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

Despite
"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)
 * 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)

Not trivial
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)

Suggestion
Just a suggestion. -- 109.79.187.214 (talk) 21:41, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
