Pretty Dismal!

Rating: 3/10 (23 April 2007)

I have to start out by saying that I've never seen an Adam Sandler movie that I thought was funny. Even when there is a script that will extend him a bit (and I think he has the potential to be funny), it's all overused, sophomoric stuff. The premise is so interesting here; yet the whole thing falls apart. Why can't he act like a real person thrust into this new world? Instead there are cheap laughs, farts in faces, Christopher Walken looking like he doesn't know what to do. The remote that brings about all the problems and the joys, is unpredictable and often makes no sense. Of course, there's "And then I woke up." I will continue to give the man a chance, but I really don't think I could sit through this again.
