so painful, I looked for a pen to shove in my eye...

Rating: Null/10 (14 August 2011)

I watched this knowing it wasn't going to be 50 First Dates/The wedding Singer funny, but I *never* expected it to be as unfunny as overboard.. and I watched this film without having read any reviews or spoilers. I kept waiting to feel SOME emotion, ANY emotion other than aggravation. I am mostly a devout fan of both Adam Sandler and Jennifer Annistan, but this movie almost led to my death. The ONLY part I found enjoyable is when Devlyn, Ian, Katherine, and Danny had dinner and Devlyn talked them into saying what they loved about each other. That was the only 2 minutes in the movie that had any positive emotion, whatsoever. It seemed too desperate an attempt at slapstick humor and things going awry to connect to the characters.. or even recognize their connection to each other. I was so hoping for more, but was very let down. Unlike overboard, where I turned it off 5 minutes into the film, I felt obligated to sit through it and watch it because I ordered it OnDemand at my boyfriends house and couldn't bear wasting the money by not finishing it. However, I'd love my time and $6.99 back. So pathetic!
