A below average Comedy that is pretty bland

Rating: 4/10 (5 December 2016)

I like a good comedy and there is a few big stars in this film so I decided to watch just go with it and this film didn't do much to entertain but it isn't one of the worst comedies I have ever seen. In this film a man lies to his girlfriend that he is a divorced family man so he recruits his assistant and her kids to pose as his family. Adam Sandler has been around for years now and I think he is a talented actor and he actually does provide a bit of depth to his character in this film. You buy the chemistry between him and Jennifer aniston and you do slightly care about it and see his character develop throughout the film. But at times he becomes the Sandler from grown ups with just over the top moments and humour that just doesn't land. Jennifer aniston plays his fake wife and he does a decent job in this film and as mentioned before she works really well with Sandler. Her character was pretty likable even if she was a little cliché. Everybody else in this film is completely worthless and totally unfunny, whether it is Sandler's girlfriend or anistons kids or Nicole Kidman's character who were all incredibly annoying and not worth caring about. This film's story is totally cliché, from the synopsis you can guess the entire plot with no twists at all. But this film has got quite a bit of heart to it and I liked the overall message of this film. The script has some decent drama and humour that will make you chuckle, but there is allot of more cringeworthy dialogue that makes you question if the guys who wrote this film cared at all. The style of the film has been done plenty of times and the humour just doesn't always work and the style of this film feels really cheap and not in the good way. Overall this film is very forgetful and definitely not worth a watch.
