Loooooooong, predictable, tiring.

Rating: 3/10 (27 December 2006)

I liked Christopher Walken. He is always a great actor and I enjoy watching him perform just to see the interesting inflections he uses in his roles.
Adam Sandler... well he is not an actor and never will be. He barely gets by on boyish charm and sophomoric behavior. I got tired of him in SNL after his first season. And it was clear he was carried by the other crew members.
This movie started out OK. Despite the simple plot it was more interesting than I expected, initially. I have no doubt that the word used most when both filming an editing this flick was 'Stretch'. They could have cut a full hour off of this movie and still have conveyed its full message. Each subplot after he is fast forwarded left me thinking "OK, I got it.. That's enough.. Move on" But no, it never moved on until after it mercilessly beat each topic to death. My wife and I had rented the DVD and neither of us recall ever before having to fast forward through parts again and again just to get to the elusive ending which, as it turns out, was not worth the effort of finding.
What had started out having some good potential ended up being the same cheap Hollywood money making garbage.
