User Review
Better than expected
Rating: 8/10
First of all, it is an Adam Sandler movie. If you hate Adam Sandler
movies, then you won't like this.
I gave it an 8/10 because it was one of the better Adam Sandler movies.
The plot and storyline was better than I expected; the development was
pretty good as well. There were definitely a lot of points where I had
to slap my forehead b/c it was silly funny.
Yeah, its highly unrealistic, but if you expected realism, whats wrong
with you? Sure, Jennifer Anniston is the "uglier chick," which is like
saying a million dollars isn't that much money, but she did a good job
in the movie.
The only complaint I had was Adam Sandler used all the lines I planned
on using with the girl I took to see it!
