the only adam sandler top billed movie that's ever let me down was "8 Crazy Nights." i never saw "Going Overboard."

i never saw "Going Overboard."

haha, i doubt anyone did.

I did. Its so bad that it requires a new word invented for just how excrutiating it is. But that aint a Sandler flick, just some shitty, 80's, cheap-ass experiment.

And yea, '8 Crazy' was dissapointing as shite. An animated version of a Sandler film SOUNDS fun but it just didn't work.

The only two things to do with Sandler that I don't like are above. Everything else is all good with me (and yes I really liked 'Little Nicky' and 'Mr. Deeds').

'Dates' is gonna be great fun. Adam & Drew screwing around in Hawaii, sweet. I'm there.

The premise sounds funny, but I saw the commercial today and it looks like typical Sandler dreck.  Rob Schneider's presence is not comforting, even if it is only a cameo.  I hope PDL wasn't a one-off for Sandler.

Ebert gives his first *** rating to a Sandler movie (PDL was a PTA movie):

The movie is sort of an experiment for Sandler. He reveals the warm side of his personality, and leaves behind the hostility, anger and gross-out humor. To be sure, there's projectile vomiting on a vast scale in an opening scene of the movie, but it's performed by a walrus, not one of the human characters, and the walrus feels a lot better afterward. This is a kinder and gentler Adam Sandler.

this movie was much better then the commercials made it look. Being a sandler fan i wasnt disspointed like I was with Anger Management. What did you fellers think aboot it?
Peace
Ps- im naked.

I just saw this today. I liked it much more than I though I would, and gave me a warm feeling deep down in the cockles of my heart. And as a plus, Drew Barrymore actually looks good for a change in this one. Overall I give it three of four laughs.

And certainly this is the best Sandler movie I've seen since....I dunno, the Wedding Singer, i guess.

This is better than the average Adam Sandler movie. I don't think Drew Barrymore is a very good actress and I think she proves that once again here. But Adam Sandler is charming and funny, so that's enough to win recommendation.

[bonanzataz]

i guess i enjoyed this movie but i didn't really laugh that hard. it was a nice way to spend the evening, but overall, i don't think it has much repeat value. it was just a little too sad to be funny. i liked anger management better. for a movie being billed as a comedy, this just didn't have enough laughs.


SPOILER KINDA: anybody notice the similarity one of lucy's paintings had with the PDL dvd cover? b/c I did.

Yeah, i saw that also, thought it was kinda neat, and i really liked how they made fun of happy gilmore

[Alethia]

this was fun

This movie was so light and charming.  I was so surprised how much I liked it. I was skeptical about seeing it, because the previews made it look like another gross out comedy.  This movie has so much more heart than the previews let on.  I thought Drew Barrymore was so sweet and Sandler was the best he's been in one of these kinds of comedies. He was more 'leading man' and less 'idiot being funny.' Not to say that this movie is free from gross out humor...but it is not in excess like in some films.
