Fun to watch, Some very funny moments and a heartwarming story

Rating: 8/10 (16 May 2011)

I watched this with my girlfriend, and I wasn't expecting much. This film genre, though I usually enjoy the comedy side, tends to be rather heavily focused on the romance.
Adam Sandler's character was well played, and very funny, going to extraordinary lengths to cover up a lie he'd made to the gorgeous Brooklyn Decker (who would have made the film worth watching even if the story was rubbish). Jennifer Aniston's character was also nicely portrayed.
I thought the soundtrack was a bit off in places - the music could have done with being a bit older, but generally the film was put together incredibly well.
For me, though, as a guy who tends to prefer action flicks, it was the comedy that made this film good. Sandler and Aniston were on good form, but it was the involvement of the kids that made this film so funny. Oh, and the scene with the fake German accent and the sheep. (If that isn't intriguing enough to make you watch this film then just go to watch both Aniston and Decker in bikinis).
