Happy Madison strikes again!

Rating: 10/10 (29 April 2006)

You know what? After all of the criticism I had heard surrounding this movie, I fully expected it to be horrible. But once again, it turns out that snobby critics just don't seem to understand Adam Sandlers sense of humor. Regardless of their ignorance, this was the funniest movie of 2006. Jon Heder (Napoleon) proves that he's pretty much going to make people laugh whenever he opens his mouth. Benchwarmers had a lot of the guys from the Longest Yard, which was the last movie to be as funny as this one. I wasn't looking forward to David Spade, who had avoided actually funny movies since Joe Dirt, but he really rocked in this one. You could easily forget who the actor was because he looked so different. His brother, despite being weirder than all get out (eg: eating Sun Screen from the bottle) was hilarious. The movie does have plenty of bathroom humor, groin hits and physical humor, but it's always done just right. In one scene, Heder hits himself three times in a row with his own bat, but it just gets funnier each time. As a movie in general, this was really quite good, but as far as comedies this year, I give it a ten out of ten.
