Wonderful character development!

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
This Adam Sandler flick is heartfelt and funny, but in the way his earlier comedies like Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore approached humor (this is more mature and subtle; in places quite real with how it juxtaposes characters in a couple of awkward scenarios with the story.) Method Man's performance is over the top, he does a great Adam Sandler.I grew up to be color blind, it would be great to see a generation of feminists in hollywood actually do something towards gender equality. They have a different agenda, sadly... and anything featuring a cis-het white male front-runner is being rated based solely on the actor's demographic, all of which he was born and none of which were within his control. Such hypocrisy is not uncommon among feminists and bringing real world politics to the realm of storytelling is a blow to human creativity and artistic genius everywhere. Find a muse, be original; or are you just another evolutionary dead end with nothing new to offer the gene pool?
OMG don't watch this movie. It's unbearably UNfunny. Adam needs to retire and banned from ever making another movie after this betrayal of a film!!
I had never even heard of this movie but saw it in the video store by accident and bought it only because it's an Adam Sandler film. Well, if anything it is one of the most original stories I've seen. Very different. It also explains why I stayed in school and don't have to go through the humdrum existence of living like the cobbler does. It was an OKAY movie but not one I'll watch again any time soon. Perhaps in a few years when i come across it in my collection and can't remember what it is about, I'll take it out again and give it a go.
I enjoyed this film, where Adam Sandler gave a good Robin Williams type serious role performance that showed off some of his talented acting abilities. I would love to see Adam Sandler play in a few more serious type of roles, where I would even say that he would very pleasantly surprise the Oscars panel if offered a good role similarly to what Tom Hanks did in Philedelphia! Keep up the good work Adam!
