Think about it. Here is a man so violent and so angry because what he truly wanted in life is unattainable. Add to that a chaotic childhood and you have a truly troubled man.

HAPPY GILMORE - one of the most tragic comedies ever made.

I don't know about Adam Sandler, but I think Alan Ayckbourn has a good line in tragic comedy. I don't understand how audiences can laugh at some of the bitterly painful things he's put onstage. Also I'm confused by 'Love's Labour's Lost'; it's like... comedy comedy comedy, then everyone goes away sad and no one gets married at the end. EH?!
