Too familiar for me

Rating: Null/10 (23 May 1999)

This movie cries out "Farrelly Bros, Farrelly Bros., Farrelly Bros." And not There's Something About Mary as much as Kingpin. Even flashback sequences, with '70s hair styles for Henry Winkler and Jerry Reed, a'la Bill Murray in Kingpin! Adam Sandler is the best thing about this (Kathy Bates overdoes it, in my opinion--"fussball" and the devil references get old after 2 times!) He was appealing in Wedding Singer and is appealing here as he spoofs Forrest Gump.....glad I didn't see this at the theater.....for those who loved this movie, check out Kingpin if you haven't (I was the only one in the theater when I saw that movie originally).......that movie bombed, Waterboy broke $100 million----no one can predict if these flicks succeed with audiences. Let's hope Sander does something more along the lines of Wedding Singer for his next role.
