Rating: 1.0
This movie is terrible
This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen in my life. I suppose I should not even say that, because I stopped watching the DVD 25 minutes in. It was that bad. The "humor" is actually cruel, and the "jokes" are lower than sophmoric. What I can't understand is how someone during the making of this debacle could not raise a hand and say: Um, er, is this *really* worth our effort? And I can enjoy some of Sandler's work. I'm *not* anti-Sandler. But this movie just left me in shock at how purely bad it was. What bothered me most, I think, was the cruelty shown here toward other people, at other peoples' expense. Be warned: This is NOT a children's movie! And again, I can enjoy Sandler's off-beat humor. This movie is just a waste of time and ranks among my all-time worst movie experiences ever. In addition to that, it contains the most blatant advertising used in a movie that I have ever seen. The two main characters walk into a huge mall and the one character simply starts pointing out all the fine stores in the mall, one after the other after the other after the other after the other. I have never seen anything like this in a "movie." It was like a two-minute advertisement for Foot Locker, The Sharper Image, etc etc!! Totally bizarre! Do the people who make this shlock actually think consumers are this stupid. Heaven forbid.
