Not bad for Adam Sandler

Rating: 5/10 (24 August 2006)

This film is was a nice surprise for me. It was very far from perfect, but not as bad as other Adam Sandler films. I hate dumb American comedies without intelligent humor.
Please do not read the rest, if you did not yet watch the film.
Let's suppose that films start from 10.0 and this point is affected by each greater weakness, or mistake. The boring of the guy was disgusting (I have been eating my lunch while watching the film), thus, 9.0 point remains. Not much later Michael has fart in the room of his boss -> 8.5 point. The dog(s) with the duck was relatively humorous, but it had got too much focus on it (8.0). And then the film got better and better. I was surprised, because finally the story got a meaning. This is unusual in American comedies (nice surprise -> 8.5). Then Michael died. I think this is where the story should have ended. But... I do not really know why, the writers have continued the story. This was a really BIG mistake. "Everything was a dream" like ending has ruined the whole story (5.0). Why should Michael obtain a new chance? Oh... what a same! I was hoping not to have an ending like this. Still.. it is a good film, I think, one footstep in the right way, just do not stop here. Move along.
