Why do people dislike this movie?!


I loooove this movie! Seen it like a hundred times!! Goes straight into the top ten movies of all time, that I've seen!( right up there with shawshank redemption and...other good movies)

Yeah it's underrated. Before I saw it I thought it wouldn't be good, but it surprised me. Not Sandler's best, but still pretty good

reply

don't know pretty funny with a good message to boot one of sandler's best

I loved probably 98% of the movie. I can watch it over and over again.

I usually quite like Sandler films and find them a guilty pleasure but couldn't get into this film. I didn't find any of the jokes particularly funny and barely laughed when watching the film. I also felt that the film needed a good fifteen minutes cut out as it started to feel tedious at about the 1 hour 30 minute mark. I also found Sandler to be quite annoying throughout the film rather than funny, unlike in some of his other films I have seen.
I love 80's movies

OMG!!! There were some GREAT, creative moments!! Not to mention the subtle middle eastern innuendos which I'm sure a lot of people didn't catch. When he takes apart the machine gun?!?! Brilliant!! The bike scene, his dad eating hummus with his glasses and then mixing it into his coffee!! So random and hilarious!! Also SOOO much of the dialog (no,no,no,no...) like telling the kid about getting his jugular sliced and responding to his crying by giving his a Spock pinch!! I was on the floor laughing!!

Great movie with a LOT (very deceptively) below the surface!!

I don't love her.. She kicked me in the face!!

When he put that hummus into his coffee, that was the most nonchalant random hilarious moment of all time. That guy deserved four oscars for it.

Yeah it's a pretty good movie. Not Sandler's best but underrated.

I don't like movies with Adam Sandler they just straight go to "bad" but this was some weird movie I needed but this never gone too far like some comedies do, I had lot of fun watching this, not from super movie criticizer just from a guy who wanted some fun!

I too love this movie. And I'm no Sandler fan at ALL... in fact, if all I knew about a movie was 'Sandler is in it', I'd avoid it. That said...

1. If you're Israeli... or have worked/lived with Israelis you -gotta- love this thing. It totally -nails- about 100 idiosyncracies that just kill me. (Sony guts!)

2. Frankly, I think it's -too- sophisticated for Sandler's typical audience. I dunno what happened, but people forget that he can do smart comedy. He may have taken the low road in most movies but this movie ain't dumb.

3. And then there are the Sandler haters (I tend to be one) who will never give him a fair shake.

How depressing.

Always be yourself. Unless you can be Batcatt, then always be Batcatt.

I'm sorry pal but you are totally biased on the Israeli - Palestinian conflict and you are so far gone you wouldn't know the truth if it was a home made rocket fired at your face.
Since I have better things to do then to explain all day the Israeli side to people like you who only know the biased if not comepletly false (like "wipe palestine off the face of the earth" BS, I mean seriously, Israel could wipe them in 10 minutes top if they wanted to ffs!) side of the palestinians I'll just share some videos from the Israeli perspective:

For anyone against Israel- here's a simple statistical number. 11 million Muslims where killed since 1948. 99.7% of those where killed by FELLOW Muslims, while 0.3% (37000~) died fighting Israel. Reset your brain (if it still works) and ask yourself, who is the real problem and who is more violent?

There's no point to reply to paranoid nutcases like astro here. Too much RT and Infowars have gotten the best of him.

I didnt find one single funny moment in whole movie. Feeling was more like listening dentist operating drill. Very very very annoying.
