Terrific

Rating: 8/10 (26 June 2006)

Yes, the plot isn't very original and this film does include the stupid humor that involves the fart joke, and the sex joke(involving a dog), but there are laughs in the beginning and the performances are alright, but towards the end is when shockers happen. I came in expecting a dumb Adam Sandler comedy that would keep me entertained for an hour or so. I got that but I also got something that deeply moved me, connected with me, and left me in a very emotional state. I practically had tears in my eyes at one point and that rarely ever happens. The film has morals that I strongly agree with, and makes for a nice blend of idiot comedy and strong drama. I do think that films plots aren't very original nowadays, and that's not different with this film but it's always nice when a film can surprise you and speak to you.
