Am I the only one who thought it was bad?

Rating: 4/10 (24 June 2006)

Okay, so yes, I can be a little cynical and very critical of movies, especially on important details. But there is no denying that this movie was a mesh of two sandlers, the goofy one (Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore) and the serious one (Punch Drunk Love, Spanglish). I'm so mad at myself for thinking that this would be good, I always get suckered into his movies. I thought they should've stuck to a genre. The comedic relief was stale and the drama was just painful to watch, it was too unrealistic, and just pretty much all around bad acting. They took a seemingly good idea for a film and twisted into so many different plot angles that I got confused. Don't get me wrong, I like Adam Sandler. I like Christopher Walken, Kate Beckinsale, etc. But, I just think they could've sprung for a rewrite. Just one opinion.
