Surprisingly poor movie

Rating: 6/10 (24 October 2006)

The trailers looked really interesting, but they were the only interesting parts of the movie, unfortunately. There are some great comedians like Bill Murrey and Jim Carey that when you take them out of the stupid, slapstick American-style comedies and put them in something where their manic impulses are controlled, they just shine. This doesn't happen with Adam Sandler. He demonstrates that without the constant, violent hysteria that is his mainstay and seems to pass for comedy in the US, he is really just an empty shell.
This film is sort of a rip-off on "Liar Liar," "Bruce Almighty," with a touch of a badly done "Meet Joe Black." Even the presence of the usually brilliant Christopher Walken is a wasted performance
