Another Window into Extravagant Tinsletown

Rating: Null/10 (19 November 2011)

Although Sandler's sophomoric antics are obviously drawn from a pool of at least limited capabilities, often the viewer wonders if it is talent or just connections that get him into so many films. The formula is so thin from overuse that it's frayed edges are often the most perceptible substance. Adam, you're just not handsome enough to play Romeo in romp after romp. In this, his two Juliet's are both such shallowly perfect physical specimens as to leave the viewer wondering if the conspicuous consumerism so often the hallmark of Hollywood is not eclipsed by the shameless superficiality. Besides blonds with bursting boobs we are also treated to plastic surgery jokes, grating foreign accents of several flavors and inevitable gay bashing. Top it off with Sandler's repeated ad nauseam soul patch joke.
