I am Adam Sandler's ardent fan until I watched this movie. I felt that many of the scenes were tastelessly done and quite insensitive on so many levels. Sandler's movies usually have a point to make and some redeeming qualities although he makes fun of other people whom he considers 'abnormal' or out of the accepted range of his narrow mindedness. This time, I felt that he has gone too far.
He made fun of a May-December romance between Rob Schneider and Joyce Van Patten to no end, Ashley Loren who plays Schneider's ugly daughter, breastfeeding, about being a vegan and a dog that had its vocal cord clipped. And at the end of the movie there wasn't as much heart as one would expect from all the discriminations Sandler mowed down on them. I am beginning to wonder if Sandler is trying to project his own inadequacies and low self esteem onto other people he considers laughable. And what with the product placement of Kentucky Fried Chicken that seem to be everywhere in the movie?
5/10
