Excruciating!
I rented this in a 3 for $10 deal along with Law Abiding Citizen and The Informant. I should have rented a different movie along with Law Abiding Citizen and The Informant because this movie sucks. I'm a big Adam Sandler fan ever since seeing Happy Gilmore and I can't believe he went from that to this garbage. The problem with this movie is that it has too much going to have a consistent plot to it. The talents of Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen are totally wasted here. Jason Schwartzman, who I thought was entertaining in Fantastic Mr. Fox, also has his talent wasted here. The part with him being a TV actor on a show called "Yo Teach!" was laughably bad. Rza does provide some comic relief as Seth Rogen's co-worker at the grocery store deli, but the movie is far too horrible for Rza's comic relief to save this movie. The movie is far too long for a comedy or as I like to call it "dramedy." Up In The Air is not even this long and it's a far better movie than this one. If you want an Adam Sandler movie that's part comedy and part drama, then check out Spanglish. That movie is not your typical Adam Sandler movie and succeeds where this movie fails. There are much better ways to spend 2 and a half hours of your life than watching this disappointing piece of garbage!
