Sandler is much more problematic. Perhaps in an attempt to seem softer and cuddlier, he has dropped most of his abrasive qualities and become catatonic. De Niro had more energy and vigor in Awakenings than Sandler displays through this whole miserable movie. In A Film with his boring, dull, deadpan, morning-voice drawl all throughout The Wedding Singer . In case you haven't gotten the idea yet, I hated this movie.
Every single scene is a wasted opportunity of little or no inspiration.
The dialogue is among the worst ever written. The characters are wafer-thin and more or less idiotic. And yet, there's nothing funny here. Nothing they can't see at home for free in a million mindless sitcoms. Maybe they're inventing funnier punchlines in their heads and laughing at those.
