Great movie! Honestly expect to laugh and cry....

Rating: 8/10 (26 June 2006)

This has become my favorite Adam Sandler movie of all time. The movie has some very funny original scenes and some very deep and poignant moments that I wasn't expecting.
Christopher Walken's performance is great. I can't see anyone else pulling off this type of character while Adam Sandler has proved once again his ability as a believable dramatic actor.
One thing that I wasn't expecting, however, was to be crying like a baby during some scenes. The best way to describe this film is a combination of "It's A Wonderful Life", "A Christmas Carol" and "The Family Man." The movie has a more powerful message than you might expect wrapped in genuinely funny moments.
I have read some critic reviews (R.E. to be specific) and think that some of them should lighten up. This movie is pure entertainment. Don't focus too much on the types of jokes ... you'll end up missing the whole point of the movie.
