I personally like the movie. I thought it had a great plot, plenty of funny moments, and a nice twist ending that was both believable and well-crafted.Sandler and Spade are Max and Charlie, two guys who fake their deaths to escape boring lives. They then take over the identities of two recently deceased men. This leads them to a life of luxury as the dead men had money and a lease on a getaway home in Puerto Rico all kept in a safety deposit box. Unfortunately, the men didn't die from natural causes and suddenly groups of hit men start trying to kill Max and Charlie. Beautiful Paula Patton is the wife of one of the deceased men and joins the two to help them solve her husband's murder. That plot has been overdone in the movies, but its handled pretty well here. The jokes are less sophomoric than most Sandler films (but, yes, he gets in a few crude bathroom jokes and an over-the-top, cringe-worthy torture scene. Still, compared to some of his other movies recently, this is a winner.The supporting cast are hit and miss. Michael Chiklis and Catherine Bell play neighbors in Puerto Rico. Ms. Bell still looks amazing, but she's had some work done on her lips and that was distracting. The always reliable Katherine Hahn as Sandler's ex-girlfriend is a treat (she keeps popping up to kill him like Carrie Fisher in the Blues Brothers). Nick Swardson tones it down a lot as a mysterious stalker in a black suit. Luis Guzman is utterly wasted. Torsten Voges is both creepy and wildly hilarious as a hitman on their trail.Again, this is a much better Sandler movie than some of his recent work. Mostly because he toned down the moron aspect of his characters and actually tries to play it straight, allowing the plot to be the humor, not his antics. Spade is playing the same character he plays in all his movies, but he still does it well. If they had dropped the toilet humor from the story, it would have made for a more taught, engaging movie. Still, I enjoyed it immensely and it was good to see Sandler back in form.

Kind of has that classic Sandler feel.If you are expecting a deep, twisting plot or Shakespearian acting you are looking in the wrong spot. If you are looking for something to smile over and give a chuckle or two...well you found it.Down to it.Acting- as expected from Spade and Sandler. Amusing.Scripting- fun but obviously not especially deep.Plot- simplistic and fun.Directing- well pacedWhile this is not a "Happy Gilmore" or "Billy Madison" it also isn't one of the stinkers from the last few years.Good way to spend a couple hours.

I got a Netflix subscription not that long ago and so far i am very pleased by there original content. I always liked Adam Sandler personally even tough i have no problem recognizing his movies have teenage sex humour for the most part. So it was a given i was gonna give this movie a look and honestly, i really liked it !! Not only it has what i like in a Sandler flick but there is also deeper stuff in character development i won't go into to keep this review 100% spoiler free.The story was compelling and you could tell the actors had fun making this movie. They have great chemistry together as well. There is only one character i tough was way over the top, you will recognize him as soon as you see him, but otherwise i liked all the other characters.This is not a perfect movie obviously, and only a fool would hope for such thing when watching an Adam Sandler movie, but if you are a fan of the guy's work and like most of his movies except the worst one, you will definitely enjoy this one. If you are not a fan of Sandler, i would still recommend to check it out, as long as you like comedies and don't mind a bit of trash humour.

I should have known better when I saw the Adam Sandler credit; after all, he's made a career out of terrible movies. However, once I started I had to continue out of curiosity, just to see how abysmally awful it was going to be. There's plenty of noise, guns, violence, anal insertions, and more nipples than you'll ever want to see, held together by a plot that may have worked under better hands. Sandler plays a jerk (what else is new?) and Spade his patsy. I found it hard to care what happened to either one of them!Do yourself a favor and find something that requires a few more IQ points!
