I saw this film on the opening night, not quite sure whether it was going to be an 'Adam Sandler movie' or not. The trailer had warned me a bit that I wasn't going to see Sandler wielding a golf club or sprouting horns, but nonetheless, my obsession with all things Adam lured me in. I was disappointed by the fact that Sandler wasn't the lead role(Sandler was probably one of 4 protagonists). The rest of the cast is predominantly female, and this gives an indication of the film's feel. It's a bit like sticking Sandler in the middle of Steel Magnolias or Mystic Pizza. I was disappointed by that, but pleasantly surprised by the flow and feel of the movie. A bit cheesy in parts, but for those of us that like a bit of cheese, it often leaves a warm glow inside. There's enough of Sandler to please his fans, and even a couple of SHOUTING moments, even if he does apologise after one of them!! It's a nice film, it's a bit long, if you like Sandler, women, or Mexicans, you should probably see it.
