Funny Yet Serious People
First of all, the first half of this movie was hilarious but the second half of it went a little out of it's way to be serious. Sandler's character, George, is for the most part, likeable in the first half and you actually start feeling for the guy. The second half you start to realize that George hasn't and won't change his ways. In other words, he's still a jerk. But believe it or not, this doesn't take away from the film too much. Adam Sandler is funny in his first R rated movie since way back in 1996's Bulletproof. Seth Rogen was funny but not as funny as he has been in previous roles. Not to say he didn't do a good job, it's just that that was the price to pay for being behind Adam Sandler. All in all, it's still a hilarious movie and worth a see when and if you have almost three hours to spare.
