I was anxious for it to be over

Rating: 3/10 (7 July 2005)

I generally like Adam Sandler movies. I've gotten used to his crudeness and vulgarity. I don't accept them, and I'm sure he would be funnier without them, but I expect his personal habits to be gross and disgusting. I also expect him to have some redeeming quality, being nice to some kid or kind to some less fortunate old woman or something. I don't think Adam Sandler stars in this movie. I think he goes through the motions as though some body-snatcher had taken over for him. He has the same predictable ending where the bad guy decides to be good at the last minute, but the lead role could have been played by an extra.

As for Chris Rock's part in the movie, when he dies and they had their little memorial service for him, I wasn't sad at all. In fact, I was kind of glad he was gone. During the big game, I hoped Adam Sandler would be killed off so Burt Reynolds could play quarterback and save the day. That would have made a much better ending.
