A Film that Goes Straight To Your Soul....And Clicks

Rating: 10/10 (28 June 2006)

Oh my gosh....I have been the truest of Sandler fans ever since he waltzed into a ballroom and said "Love Stinks!" (--The Wedding Singer--) But anyone knows that he has done the most insanely raucous, raunchy and unbelievably hilarious comedy...and you would think that this film would be the exact same way. I was sorely mistaken halfway through the movie when the film takes an emotional turn. Sandler introduces himself as a serious dramatic actor while still keeping the guilty pleasure comedy the world over knows and loves. This movie reminded me of a comedic version of Meet Joe Black, only with a very lessened serious overtone. The emotion is there, the comedy is there, and this movie has it all truly. I was still crying well into the night after watching this film, thinking about past regrets and missed opportunities. Then I called my boyfriend on the phone and told him I loved him and that he needed to see this movie. I think everyone should, because this is the story of legends.....and I love Adam Sandler for making it.
