Comment: Well what do you expect of a film, produced by Adam Sandler? A bunch of good laughs, a maybe OK story, OK acting and entertainment (that's what I expected after seeing 3 good films, featuring Sandler, in a row, The Wedding Planner, The Waterboy and Big Daddy). And I got what I expected, well most of it. The film had a couple of good laughs (the cop played by William Forsythe was really great character, brought to the screen perfectly I felt) and an OK story, OK acting, a bit of romance plus a few good looking ladies (Bree Turner and Jaqueline Obradors better known as the fishtank girl (a couple of sea - snails from the bottom, please!) and the wife of Forsythe in this film) but still this is not a good film. Why not? Well it is too predictable at the end and there are some really stupid scenes in this film which make it fictional (the scene out of The Matrix is one example). If that scene wouldn't have been there it would have been a film about a story that could have happened like in those 3 previously mentioned Sandler films and I like that in these kind of comedies, the fact that they could happen. Also I felt that the TJ - Deuce bathtub scenes were pretty stupid. Anyway a A small, tiny, itsy - bitsy 7 (6,5) out of 10 (for an overall enjoyable film with some stuff missing, or better a bit too much of a few things)
