(Rob Schneider plays Ula, the Hawaiian "surfer buddy" of Sandler's character; Astin plays Drew's brother, who has a lisp).

..... :roll: ...this will suck






A question for the PTA fanboys:

"After Adam's performance in PDL(which he did do a great job in) do you guys now think he's a "real" actor?  Or do yoou think that his choice of doing PDL was a fflash in the pannts kind of thing annd nnow it 's back to doing the same sh*t he always does?"

It's this part I do not like:
"production rewrites by Tim Herlihy (Mr. Deeds, The Wedding Singer) & Adam Sandler (writing team of The Waterboy, Happy Gilmore) and Allen Covert (cowriter of Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights)."

Didn't he do ANGER MANAGEMENT after he did PUNCH-DRUNK LOVE? I don't think he's going to change the formula for his own movies. He knows what works and what audiences want to see him doing. PDL didn't do very well at the box office, even though it was a critical success.

Umm, way to rip off one of the plot points of "Finding Nemo"...

No thanks...

311 DOES SOUNDTRACK WORK:
On the summer tour, Adam Sandler came out to 311's show in Orange County, California. He hung out with the band on the tour bus before the show and watched the show from the side of the stage. A few months ago, Adam asked 311 to contribute a song to his upcoming movie "Fifty First Dates" (starring Adam & Drew Barrymore). The movie takes place in Hawaii - so Adam wanted a soundtrack of classic 80's songs re-created with a reggae-island vibe. 311 covered the Cure's "Love Song." Nick also produced a few other songs for the movie and soundtrack, including songs with artists Seal ("Lips Like Sugar"), Jason Mraz ("Melt With You") and Dryden Mitchell ("Friday I'm In Love") contributing vocals.

the newer adam sandler movies (mr. deeds, anger management, and, from the looks of it, this movie) are so near to being perfectly rounded comedies. they ALMOST have it down, but somewhere in the scriptwriting or direction, sandler or whoever wants to go somewhere that the material shouldn't be going. i loved anger management, but the script needed a lot of work and it could have been directed a million times better. the director for anger management is back on this movie. i listened to his commentary track and he's kind of a tool. i can see why AM turned out the way it did. to me, billy madison and happy gilmore are just great comedies, and wedding singer blended everything a sandler comedy tries to achieve and it did it perfectly. it was funny, it had a strong romance, it had bizarre peripheral characters that the audience liked, and overall, it just worked. the later ones just seem to take the points i just mentioned and exaggerate them at times, which just makes the movies uneven and not believable. i know exactly what to expect from this movie, and i'm sure i'll enjoy it, but i'll be pissed off that they didn't get it right again.
The corpses all hang headless and limp bodies with no surprises and the blood drains down like devil's rain we'll bathe tonight I want your skulls I need your skulls I want your skulls I need your skulls Demon I am and face I peel to see your skin turned inside out, 'cause gotta have you on my wall gotta have you on my wall, 'cause I want your skulls I need your skulls I want your skulls I need your skulls collect the heads of little girls and put 'em on my wall hack the heads off little girls and put 'em on my wall I want your skulls I need your skulls I want your skulls I need your skulls

in my mind, that's not an adam sandler movie. it's a paul thomas anderson movie. two different types of comedy.

I know, just trying to pan to that fact by playing the 'typical' Sandler fan, "he doesn't scream really loud! this movie sucks!"
