A Different Road for Sandler

Rating: 8/10 (30 June 2006)

This was one funny movie. I saw this movie Saturday the 24th and I was left pleased. Sandler was again providing top notch comedy. The thing is though if you walked in expecting to get the same slapstick, anger managing, fight humor you usually get out of Adam. He plays a character completely different yet still very hilarious...sure he has a couple references and gags from his movies that he always uses but you'll still love it. Sandler plays a father and husband..a "trophy" wife played by Beckinsdale and 2 adorable children who provide great humor. The storyline is one we've seen before...slightly different from Bruce Almighty.........he doesn't have the power to change everyones lives.....he can just change his own. This movie is not a comedy all the way through. All though you'll enjoy Hasselhoff (though I didn't), Dratch, Sandler, and Winkler........... this movie has a some touching parts that may leave you tearing up or crying on the inside. The ending was quite shocking but it brought the movie to a suitable conclusion. Overall Sandler fans call this his best work...I wouldn't say that...but it was quite hilarious. I haven't seen a comedy this funny in a long while.
