Rating: 5.0
oh whatever.... I LOVED IT!
As you know... this is probably one of the most hated movies ever... and why is that?? Because these days, people just want to see boring, crappy romantic comedy junk like "Love Actually" and "Two Weeks Notice"..... Well I don't care about the negative reviews, I loved this movie and I'll admit that I bought it and I've watched it to the point where I know every song by heart :)I think this movie is somewhat similar to "Bad Santa" (another hillarious film that is worth seeing), in that it deals with a drunk no-life loser who just CANT STAND the holidays AT ALL (much like me,,, seeing & hearing Christmas stuff everywhere gets SO incredibly annoying!) This is a hillarious story of a "crazy 33-year-old Jewish guy" who always has to do bad things to the town during the holidays, especially on the first night of Hanukkah,, and there's a reason why he's this way,, and he just keeps seeming to run from admitting that reason...(I won't tell you what it is, dont wanna ruin it :)This movie has great voices by Sandler of course, and Rob Schnieder is great as the narrator and the Chinese waiter... Also I love all the songs, especially "I Hate Love, I Hate You, I Hate Me", "Technical Foul", and "Let It Out, Davey"Believe it or not this movie DOES have a good messege behind it-actually a few- one is that you shouldn't run from your emotions, and the other is that the most ignored people can do the nicest things (which goes so for Whitey, the old man who helps Davey)I would say that this & "Bad Santa" are 2 great movies to slap the "happy-go-lucky" holiday season junk in the face, and if you can't appreciate this kind of humor, then go watch some Julia Roberts movie or some teenybopper movie like "10 Things I Hate About You"!!!!!
