Scale: 7/10 Should you see it? Yes How’s the writing? Fun Any gaping holes in the plot? Nope What stands out? Sandler and Barrymore See it in the theater or wait to rent? Either
If you like Sandler and Barrymore, go see this movie. It’s a lot of fun. If you don’t, then don’t. There’s some bathroom humor, but overall it’s just a good, fun time.
They have wonderful on-screen chemistry, and they make it work. The only people who won’t like this movie are people who don’t like either of them, and, quite frankly, why would anyone who don’t like either of them go to see the movie?
This is not Punch Drunk Love (which I really enjoyed, but which was a very different Sandler movie).
