American fast food

Rating: 8/10 (6 September 2018)

I'm not a native English speaker. so excuse my french if you will, or not. anyway, this movie caught me by surprise.
i didn't expect much of it, actually i didn't expect to finish watching it.
but i did. and i was happy i did.
it made me cry a little, laugh a little, and then laugh a little more, and was just like one of those american fast food chains that you know exactly what you'll get but hungry enough to enjoy it.
it was constructed like a Disneyland for grown ups. gorgeous women? check. more gorgeous women?? check. a hoola sexy battle between two tasty chicks like aniston and nicole kidman? check. some coochy moochy between lovers? check... a big salary for Adam sandler comedy food chain? double check.
but it worked!
it was funny, it was sexy, it was idiotic, it had an ending you could see coming 10 miles away, and a really wonderful editing, great editing actually - so it worked!
by the way - it shows that aniston and sandler have a good (real) friendship for so many years. it really shows, and this makes it all acute and funny and quite a good movie.
...and the light heated script... and the oh so sweet set decoration... and the cute acting... and the music full of sting covers it all... wonderful.
recommended as a good snack.
