Waste of time
One of my all time favorites.
Good movie but grossly overrated
Crappy film
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!
Sandler with another good comedy. It wasn't big budget or super Hollywood. It was, in turn, extremely enjoyable to consume. Many have been dogging Sandler since the movie Click, by saying he lost his way. Sandler is still funny, and he proves that with this film. However I don't believe this film was intended to be just comedy. It just had a good feel to it.
So....I almost NEVER watch movies; usually don't have the patience for them and don't find most of them enjoyable; stumbled upon this on Netflix, said to the hubby "this sounds weird enough to be good" and started watching. Had no idea all those big names were in it - Adam Sandler, Steve Buscemi, Dustin Hoffman...plus what I thought was a great cast of unknowns (well...unknown to me, that doesn't mean much!).Anyway, I think it's a great movie, very different from most movies out there and a great performance by Adam Sandler...there's a great tear- jerkin scene with his mom and his dad but I can't say more because of spoilers, but I had me teary-eyed...You got nothing to lose by watching it, so do it!
watching this was something fresh, its a set up for like a Jewish super hero that any one can relate, I would be really interested in a sequel just for the kick out of it, good to see Adam Sandler first of all by himself with out the other usual side kick, just Steve in a non retarded character, plus the gray winter ambiance in the movie and the music to go with it just brilliant, really go on watch this movie and try to think its not the usual Adam Sandler flick and you will enjoy it. Fun dark comedy with no cheep shots and a nice cadence too The only down side i see to this movie is the same i see in a lot of movies, when they try to translate this to another language they just butcher the movie I now its difficult some times to translate emotions and slang from a new York based movie in Spanish but some times is like they are not even trying. Adam thanks for the fresh ride of creativity
