Blu B I can only imagine how confused and uncomfortable a typical Sandler fan must've been seeing this in 2002. This is NOTHING and I mean NOTHING at all like a Sandler movie from this time. The humor is much more sparse and more thought provoking and intelligent with a hint of dark to it rather than your typical juvenile fart joke /reference/screaming angry persona of all his films from this time. Sandler himself actually plays a true complex character rather than playing himself. And the direction here is so engaging and challenging with a hint of arthouse as well. This is the equivalent of say a 13 year old Michael Bay fan watching a Terrance Malik film. But if your able to put aside your expectations what you have is a really original romance movie with a very challenging multi layered sociopathic tendancy but human and good natured character who isn't that easy to get behind at times. But wins you over at the end of the day for his honesty and flaws for multiple reasons. The direction is excellent also with amazing camerawork, a stable of all Anderson films. The music is really good and very quirky but I wouldn't say it's memorable or catchy. Everything else though is excellent and first rate. It's so focused and a slow burn the entire way. It takes it's time and is so well written and does a great job putting all the pieces together. You really won't know the way this goes with such a weird setup even if the end is familiar territory. Everyone should give this a shot. Truly one of Sandler's best films even though it's unlike any Sandler movie especially the Wedding Singer.

Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/06/25 Full Review Audience Member I saw this movie today 30/03/2025 I like all movies from Adam Sandler I really like, but this movie is not just comedy it’s a real face of a disturbing mind, it’s good to have a look on a different prospective about a angry person with a mental disorder and think about the world, have many persons and different minds you never know what will happen in next. I like too much this movie, congratulations for all the team Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/25 Full Review Read all reviews
