This film is predictable and is carried by Christopher Walken

Rating: 3/10 (18 April 2007)

I am not a Adam Sandler fan but believe in giving all films a shot. This unfortunately has some of the same tasteless comedy - dog humping a stuffed animal - Sandler farting in bosses face - all of which gets tiring real quick. I like Kate Beckinsale but she has a habit of letting that British accent slipping in when she is suppose to be playing an American although she did keep in pretty much in check in this film. Christopher Walken carried all the true comedy in this film. He made it funny. The story line was tired. Guy works too hard, ignores his family, find a cheap way to fast forward through life. The only thing I think could have saved this film is if he had died in the end after chasing his son down to teach him the lesson he had learned. Life does not give us a do-over but predictably he got to go back and do it all over. No surprise. Maybe Sandler will one day come of his own but he is in the Stiller and Carey group and has not done it this time.
