I am a 52 year old female, totally head over heels, crazy about Adam Sandler, I'm old school so there is not one movie I can recall not liking. His devotion to his friends, is spectacular, as you know he always picks the same people to be in his films, he has to be pretty cool for them to do even cameos . People say he is a man child, I appreciate his sense of humor, the way he has my entire family rolling around laughing sometimes crying, Thank you Mr. Sandler for being such a stand up guy.

*NOT A COMEDY!* Don't know why this movie keeps being pegged as a "comedy," other than it stars Adam Sandler. I imagine it is related to the same reason Bill Murray's version of _The Razor's Edge_ was flogged by the studios as a comedy back in the day: they just can't wrap their puny brains around the ability comedians possess to nail dramatic roles. Like the man said, "Dying is easy; comedy is hard!" Anyway, there are a few laughs in this, so I guess it counts as a mellow drama? But it's a comedy only in the same sense that _Falling Down_ is a comedy. Regardless, it's worth your time to see it. Just don't expect to spend any significant amount of your time laughing at it.

This movie is great. Kept me on the edge of my seat (well, floor). Sandler did great in thia movie. Not for children, far too much cursing within this movie, children would not understand this movie either.
