More than the usual Adam Sandler
Let me start out by saying that I am definitely not a fan of Adam Sandler. Most of his movies are asinine and idiotic. Apart from Happy Gilmore, I have yet to really enjoy a Sandler movie. This one starts out in the usual Sandler fashion. Gross humor abounds in the initial segments. But, that is when the movie begins to change. Enter Drew Barrymore, another movie star I'm not impressed with, and the movie begins to actually grow on you. Sandlers continual efforts to woo Barrymore reminded me of a hilarious Bill Murray in Groundhog's Day. The movie rewards you for your patience in the beginning by giving you a decent movie going experience in the end. Thanks go to Sandler for finally making a worthwhile movie.
