This movie was ranchy, inapropriate, and very funny.
Takes place in Cape Cod so I have to say in my best Boston accent it was Wicked Awesome!
Vanilla Ice plays (and makes fun of) himself.
NY Jets head coach Rex Ryan plays Donny Berger's (Adam Sandlers) New England Patriots loving Lawyer.
My gut hurt from laughing.
There was one plot during the wedding that wasn't wanted but it was still funny.
Big thumbs up.

Good lord, I cannot believe there's a good review of this one. Good on ya for sitting through it, but from the previews it looks TERRIBLE to me.

Never even heard of it. I am one of the few who still seem to like Adam Sandler...so I would watch it.

My wife wants to see it so we'll probably go. I think it looks like it could be funny but will probably suck. At least he isn't dressing in drag for this one.

Click always pissed me off. All he had to do was use the pause button to get his work done and he'd have been fine. Boom problem solved.

Billy Madison
Happy Gilmore
Wedding Singer
The Waterboy
Big Daddy
Little Nicky (sorta)
Punch Drunk Love
Mr Deeds
The Longest Yard

I liked, for the most part, all of these.

No Big Daddy, The Waterboy, Wedding Singer? Those were awesome. I love Sandler but lately his movies have sucked. This one at least looked like it could be good. I probably won't see it until it hits redbox though.

I did like Wedding Singer, and maybe one or two others, but the earlier the better IMO

I would add Reign Over Me, Spanglish, and Anger Management. Probably remove Little Nicky.

I've not watched those three. Little Nicky was really stupid, but I still thought it was funny.

Anger Management has some of the funniest parts of any Sandler movies. If you like Sandler AM is a must watch.

On a realated note, a good friend of ours' son work for Happy Madison Productions, and he said Adam Sandler is definitely a what-you-see, what-you-get kind of guy. He treats his people well, and is a blast to be around. It sure was refreshing to hear that about a Hollywood star. :thumbup:

Is "Reign over Me" the serious one with Don Cheadle where Sandler plays the headphone character? If so that was excellent.

I'm torn on whether to see this. Probably will wait for the Redbox.

Anger Managment was a really good movie.

Grown Ups wasn't too bad, more of a family flick.

LMFAO. Marty do you get paid to promote bad movies or what?

Also I agree with CoA, that pissed me off too.

Grown Ups was atrocious, didn't even make it through half the movie before turning it off. I don't think i'll ever pay for another Sandler movie.

I'll add 50 first dates to the list of decent Adam Sandler movies.

Yes, that is Reign Over Me.
