This Adam Sandler flick is heartfelt and funny, but in the way his earlier comedies like Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore approached humor (this is more mature and subtle; in places quite real with how it juxtaposes characters in a couple of awkward scenarios with the story.) Method Man's performance is over the top, he does a great Adam Sandler.I grew up to be color blind, it would be great to see a generation of feminists in hollywood actually do something towards gender equality. They have a different agenda, sadly... and anything featuring a cis-het white male front-runner is being rated based solely on the actor's demographic, all of which he was born and none of which were within his control. Such hypocrisy is not uncommon among feminists and bringing real world politics to the realm of storytelling is a blow to human creativity and artistic genius everywhere. Find a muse, be original; or are you just another evolutionary dead end with nothing new to offer the gene pool?

I'm so glad I ignored all the negative reviews and watched this movie. I thoroughly enjoyed it. At times I even forgot it was Adam Sandler. He actually acted like a real person and I think it is his best role and best acting yet. I think this movie should be labeled a classic. I loved the back story that set the stage for this movie and all of the ups and downs Adams character had to go thru as he grew as a person inside. I think this is a must see movie.

watching this was something fresh, its a set up for like a Jewish super hero that any one can relate, I would be really interested in a sequel just for the kick out of it, good to see Adam Sandler first of all by himself with out the other usual side kick, just Steve in a non retarded character, plus the gray winter ambiance in the movie and the music to go with it just brilliant, really go on watch this movie and try to think its not the usual Adam Sandler flick and you will enjoy it. Fun dark comedy with no cheep shots and a nice cadence too The only down side i see to this movie is the same i see in a lot of movies, when they try to translate this to another language they just butcher the movie I now its difficult some times to translate emotions and slang from a new York based movie in Spanish but some times is like they are not even trying. Adam thanks for the fresh ride of creativity

Completely don't get the bad reviews as we don't have enough of these movies these days. Such a great story line that's full of whimsicality. I've been waiting for a movie like this from Adam Sandler as he is often typecast and I've always felt like he had more in him. This movie is quirky, fun and a joy to watch and I was in that world enjoying the ride. It's not your typical Sandler movie but it's still light hearted and funny. It was a little predictable in that I had a pretty good idea of what was going to happen but I wasn't disappointed. Loved seeing Steve Buscemi as well - he was great in this role and him and Sandler bounce off each other really well. If you want to enjoy a really nice movie experience I highly recommend this film. You won't be disappointed.
