In a world where Adam Sandler doesn't need to be funny because he has become the comedy: this forgettable mess exists. I won't rip on Adam Sandler because we all know him well enough to just accept the bad movies, but this movie is so mundane and uninteresting that it's hard to even consider it inoffensive. Read the synopsis that IMDb has for this movie, don't watch it, the actual images and sounds that come from the TV don't add anything to the experience other than maybe a few cheap laughs and a whole lot of filler. There is no way you could possibly consider this a well thought out piece of cinema, I would recommend it to anyone over the age of 5000 (nobody who is alive)

This is without a doubt the worst film I've ever had the displeasure of watching, and I have to admit that I have no idea what possessed me to do so. The only retroactively funny (more like pathetic) thing about this "comedy" is how Sandler's lame character Schecky complains about the dropping standards of comedy being reduced to fart jokes, fat people jokes, jokes at the expense of women; standards he himself picks up in the story. The irony is that not only is it the routine that Schecky himself picks up as a comic within this "film", but also exactly what Sandler's routine has turned into in real life and in the rest of his meritless filmography. The overuse of the same jokes with no payoffs and its eerie similarities to the other films in Sandler's career (despite him not being a producer/director on this) is just a testament to his consistent mediocrity. He has not progressed as an actor or comedian in any way since this disaster, and anything that he's in that happens to be good is because of the director or its premise (Punch Drunk Love for example makes a mockery/parody of Sandler's personality in a satirical way that totally works). How Sandler's career picked up after this is a total mystery. The guy is talentless. Utterly and pathetically talentless.

I was unaware of this movie when I came across this in VHS format at a yard sale in my area. I saw the young face of Adam Sandler and thought that this my be a lost gem from his early days. In fact it was more like a rock than a gem.This is a story of gibberish that was so boring that you could not keep up with what was happening on the screen. The situation was utterly ridiculous and the lines were so unfunny I actually felt sad for the actors. Perhaps it was my VCR that made the picture of the film look sloppy but it seemed like it was filmed as a high school project rather than by professional adults. I was glad when I saw the review of others that I was not alone in panning this film. And with all that said, I still feel cheated out of 10 cents.

As an avid Sandler fan, (qualification requires an IQ of 72), I thought this was bloody brilliant. Sandler's face on the box sorted it for me.2 minutes into the film I was riveted to my seat by the appearance of JAWS jumping through the air and catching an aeroplane. (Or was that Giant Octopus vs. Megashark?) I can't remember since they are both such incredible films.Sandler's comic genius comes alive and is yet again second to none, barring Michael Gambon (Dumbledore) - Love Ali G <3. Adam's friendly and warm tone of voice takes you away like ecstasy, you can feel the laughter bubble up from you testicles before it implodes inside your mouth in fits of laughter.I implore you to watch this film, it is as moving as Gladiator, as epic as Lord of the Rings and as horny as 50 Shades of Grey.
