Horrendous Okay, I've liked the early films of Sandler--namely, Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison, and, even, the Waterboy--so, suffice it to say, I have a streak of sophomoric humor in me. This movie plain sucked the life out of me. It was Bruce Almighty all over, and a modern Christmas Carol thrown in to boot. So, they set up Sandler as this overworked architect (cough, cough) who doesn't spend enough time with his kids and wife. How many times do they need to do this storyline? I don't need to learn a moral--I spend time with my kids and wife. I want to see what this goof-ball is going to do with his remote. They could have done so much more with that.
Well, I'm going to end on that note--it's really not worth writing even this much about it.
Watch Billy Madison or Happy Gilmore and forget the rest of Sandler's stuff. How long can he go on doing the same crap with the same group of washed-up buddies?
