This film is horrible

Rating: 1/10 (19 July 2006)

This is the first movie review I have ever written in my life. I feel compelled to warn anyone who may be reading this to not see this film. I love the IMDb website, and by some weird mistake, I trusted the seven stars this film somehow received as a reason to go see it. I left after 60 minutes and got a refund. In 30 years I have walked out of two films, this film and Dirty Work. This film is uncomfortably not funny, disjointed and pointless. As I read the numerous reviews of people who love this film I am blown away by the emotional and touching comments - "I cried" "I really cried" The single theme in all of these comments is the reviewer's statement that the film taught them about life and how they need to slow down and appreciate their family. I honestly have to feel sorry for someone who needs a horrible Adam Sandler film to teach them this. The US government should give Adam Sandler a license to print money. If this film can do over 100 million dollars I can understand how George Bush is a two term president.
Sandler's secretary is played by an average looking middle aged woman who is very uptight about her job. The movie does not take a second to explain anything about this woman, or why I might want to get to know her. When Sandler, a laid back guy arrives at work, she gives him his messages and says "can I go to the bathroom now." Sandler sighs and says, Mary, you don't need my permission to go to the bathroom. Is this supposed to be funny? Why doesn't she just go the bathroom? What is she afraid of missing? Later in the movie, Sandler is in a meeting with some new clients, and his secretary interrupts this very important meeting saying she has an emergency. She hands Adam a note as every in in the room turns and focuses on Sandler and his assistant. The note says, "can I go to the bathroom?" Wow, I am laughing just typing this. To me, this is not even a bad joke -- it is just some unexplainable BS. Something that some moron wrote on a piece of paper and some bigger moron paid money for. Completely unexplainable.
