A surprisingly thought provoking encounter!

Rating: 8/10 (18 October 2006)

I like any Adam Sandler fan would expect this to be a light hearted affair, concentrating on the ability to indulge in childish slapstick comedy and clever one liners. However not only was i intrigued by the movie i was defintately entertained. Without giving too much away, the changes that Adam's character goes through are sad, yet seem undeserved, and there is a real sense that he is hard done by.
The films underlying message is the fact that life should be enjoyed and all the things that we hate or find annoying are what make life worth living. I believe that this movie has achieved that and is a thourough good watch. If indeed in some cases a little bizarre and unrealistic, this should be viewed as a passing metaphor. A highly recommended watch!!1
