Rating: Summary: Better than Billy Madison, but that's not saying much Review: Yes I know, I have given this film three stars, so if you are at all shocked about this dilemma, go ahead and give me a "no" vote. But better yet, read this review and then decide.
The general reviews of the film are about right, though i have some qualms with them. I think Jon-Mark was spot-on when he wrote, "The movie has the same humour as Adam's previuos movies but it just as funny none the less". Do not think this movie is some huge turnaround for Sandler, as some critics believed "Punch Drunk Love" to be. It still carries the same old Sandler humour, but like alot of his recent films, Sandler shows a little more of that charming side that he always had inside him, only is was very subtle and hidden in his "Billy Madison" "Happy Gilmore" type performances. Here that side gets a bit more of a showing, though it's interspersed with the usual crude gross-out jokes just to let you know that you are watching a Sandler film and didn't rent out the wrong movie. Sure, it's maybe more romantic and "touching" than some of his other films, but there's all the usual wierdo, disgusting characters and such. All in all, this movie is definitely not worth four stars-I think three stars is more realistic.
