Worth a look, but don't expect much

Rating: Null/10 (27 September 2011)

I have noticed a common trend with Adam Sandler in his latest string of family flicks. Gone are the fart joke comedies in favour of the more serious but still silly family orientated roles.
The whole script gives me a headache just thinking about it. A Plastic surgeon creates a web of deceit, involving his assistant, her children and friend to impress a young woman who he thinks is the one. The whole concept is ridiculous and Sandler finds himself digging out hole after hole to cover all his lies.
It is the same brand of humour and old faithful guest appearances that Sandler is known for. I failed to see any original jokes or comedy that has not been done in his movies before. I did get a giggle at a subtle jibe at Heidi Montag, who had a guest appearance as a partygoer, in a room full of people who had become disfigured from overdoing it on cosmetic surgery.
Then the movie gets corny and Sandler delivers his traditional happy ending where everyone involved comes out smiling.
The movie is OK; there is something familiar and oddly comforting about Sandler movies for me, so I always endeavour to see them. This is a light comedy not to be taken seriously at all, leave your brain at the door.
