    Sandler turns the joke around on his detractors and manages to lead a devilishly energetic vehicle that contains about as many laughs as his previous features combined.
  2. The kindest thing that can be said about Sandler's sense of humor is that it's unapologetically juvenile.
  3. 60
    Certainly Sandler's most ambitious work. It's not just a bid for respectability but a genuine allegory.

    This movie is funny as hell. Adam Sandler does what he does best which is comedy. I thought this was funnier than any other critic suspected. The critics are always hating on Adam Sandler comedy such as Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison. Those are great comedies. So screw off critics. Expand

    Absolutely crazy and absurd, but that is what makes it so funny. Has all of Sandler's regular casting actors, and some great additions popping up everywhere on the screen. Expand
  4. It's movie hell, in more ways than one.
