Perfect example of how not to make a movie

Rating: 1/10 (11 December 2006)

This movie had no good points. I won't comment on the acting (apart from leads), since its unfair to judge them by horrible writing and directing. The script is mundane and watery-a very processed looking, you've seen it all before, ho hum affair. Family man who has everything, wants to fast forward through his perfect life (explain that!) He has a gorgeous wife, money, family, health, home, everything in the American dream, and he whines about it! That's Adam Sandler of course. He's not a likable character. Granted, a better actor may have made him somewhat more likable. We do have modern day Cary Grants, but Sandler is unable to take that part. He just comes across as too "I'm a superior creature to the viewer". The laughs are struggled for, and quite predicable. Courteous viewers will give some scenes the benefit of the doubt, but they'll be straining hard to actually smile.
