completely worthless

Rating: 2/10 (9 August 1999)

I spent this entire movie feeling like Adam Sandler was giving me the finger, laughing at what a dumb movie he could make. Words like "stupid" or "ridiculous" don't really work in describing it, because clearly it was intended to be stupid and ridiculous, that's part of the humor. It's as if the audience is intended to hate this movie, and to love hating it. The characters and situations are unbelievable and cartoony, but they are obviously supposed to be that way. I hated this movie (at the most basic level, not the removed humorous ironic level of hatred that the director was shooting for). It set out to be terrible, and it succeeded. Bravo. Why it made so much money in the box office is totally beyond me.
