Review
I finally got to see the latest Adam Sandler movie, and for once it didn’t disappoint. Although Sandler throws in his usual super lame jokes and his regular cameo friends show up in different places this isn’t the usual Sandler romp.
There are really great laughs in here, which play steadily enough to make the overall movie enjoyable. Miss Jennifer Aniston is of course a crucial element to that, playing Sandler’s secretary, who’s playing his ex wife. Surprisingly the story also becomes rather sincere at points, giving the movie a rare authenticity for a comedy.
Although played out in front of a stunning Hawaiian backdrop the story link that gets them there is incredibly weak. One wonders if the cast and crew just wanted an excuse to film somewhere tropical. That aside it’s definitely worth the price of admission. Laughing with an audience is always more fun than laughing alone.
