I've Never Hated an Adam Sandler Movie Until Now
After I had accepted the fact that this wasn't a comedy movie halfway through the movie, I kept asking myself, 'why do I still hate this movie?' Here's why:Who is the protagonist? Adam Sandler? I'm so rich - waaaaah! I'm going to die - waaaaaah! Nobody loves me - double waaaaah! He isn't a very likable from the beginning of the movie or the end, or anywhere between that two-and-a-half hour window. Or is the protagonist Seth Rogen? He comes off as a sweet and sensitive characterIf this wasn't a comedy movie, then what's the take home message? How someone would think and act differently facing their upcoming mortality? That concept has been beaten to death by books, Reader's Digest articles, bumper stickers (today is the first day of the rest of your life), and yes, other movies!!! If you are interested in more of this concept, I recommend The Bucket List, Running Out of Time, or Rudy for god's sakes!Nobody learns anything. There was no character development from anybody. Adam Sandler's character learns something in the last 2 minutes of the movie, but his "revelation" was so blatant and unprofound that nobody cares, not even Adam Sandler and definitely not me.
