When a movie starts out with a premise of "amusing" child abuse, you know it's going to go low. And wow did it go low. Completely degrading to women, this movie shamelessly rolls around in fat jokes, racial slurs, and an utterly horrible script. Andy Samberg's performance is the only saving race, but by 20 minutes you just feel completely sorry for him.

It is a first movie for a long time which I did not bother to watch to the end. It is bad! Very bad! It is full of clichés, it is very predictable and the scenes supposed to be the most memorable are just plain awful! The script and the acting are so bad that it is almost hilarious. Whats worse, some things should not be used for making fun...

I wish I'd read the IMDb reviews before renting this movie. Instead, I saw the pictures of a family movie , probably feelgood, where a bad childhood era child-parent relationship gets fixed decades later and everybody lives happily ever after. Probably schmaltzy and predictable but "nice".When the classroom scene turns out to be real rather than a dream that the teenager wakes up from, the movie goes downhill as in over the side of a deep deep dark well.There is clever wellthoughtout intelligent humour and there is mindless, bottom of the barrel 'humour' which relies on foul language and all the other low grade traits mentioned in the other reviews.My fault for not establishing that it had a sub_R rating.I cringed until fortunately, the clever TV decided that the video quality was so poor that it went into standby mode and then I cut the movie halfway and replaced it with "Promised Land", a thousand times better quality show.Would I touch another Adam Sandler movie? Not a chance! Looks like even Adam Sandler and his backers misread the number of viewers who would make them money on this zero-level performance. (The 1 out of 10 is for the opening 4 minutes when there was still hope)

With considerable performances, the movie tells the story of a young father seeing himself in a bad situation, goes behind the son he has not seen a long time in search of money to pay the debt he has and escape from jail. Like almost all movies of Adam Sandler, the plot is simple and with a lot of forced jokes. It's not to be impressed, considering that the actor is already know for this kind of comedy. The big surprise here, is that the movie deals with controversial issues, as: incest and rape (of a teacher with a student in the case), treating both in a funny and light way, making it a great choice for lovers of slapstick comedy and derivatives.
