Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Matt Greene There are certainly touches of the Sandler productions we've come to despise here (non-essential jokes, unfunny third-tier characters, Sandler casting himself as a perfect romantic figure). The difference is this is when he still cared, with a main story and central characters that are cute, engaging, and bursting with humor. If you can get past the manipulative and un-credible conceit (which may be too tall a task for some), the sweetness of this rom-com should win you over, and may even drag a few tears out of you.
invisibleunicornninja This movie has an interesting and well executed idea. Overall its pretty funny and sweet. If you're interested in watching it, then watch it. Its not fantastic, but its not bad. I had a lot of fun watching this movie. Ironically, its pretty forgettable and average. Still a lot of fun though.
studioAT This is one of the many films that people rave about that I thought i'd give a watch.I can see why they like it. It's easy going enough, and has two engaging stars at the centre of it. But it's really a one joke film, that is funny for the first half, before becoming wildly sentimental in the second.It also goes into the familiar pitfall of being vulgar at times also, which is off-putting, but that seems to be the way with modern comedies.It was a passable enough 90 mins, but I can't say i'd be rushing to watch it again.
borowiecsminus The premise for this movie was, quite frankly, pure genius. It was one of those rare ideas that could be brilliant as either a comedy or a drama. This could have been a harrowing, yet beautiful love story. It could have been a riveting, intelligent comedy. But when they cast Sandler, it became neither.Instead of telling an almost comically tragic story of love prevailing against impossible odds, they take a real medical condition and stretch it and stretch it until it becomes almost offensively unrealistic. I swear, "Finding Nemo," who only had the condition for laughs, did it better than this movie, which was fueled by its very presence. The directing is alright. There's rarely anything specifically wrong with directing in a movie. In addition to this, there were multiple occasions where I found myself laughing. There was one occasion that I was cracking up.But those are the only redeeming qualities. The acting, writing, and realism are all atrocious.The writing is my biggest problem. Once again, it takes a fantastic premise and wastes it on lesbian jokes. It wastes it on slapstick. It wastes it on vomit jokes. It wastes it on butt crack jokes, and worst of all, it wastes it on Adam Sandler.Which brings us to the acting. Barrymore was actually very good in this movie; I'm not going to lie. Especially considering the incredible emotion she's tasked with portraying, she's phenomenal. There are very few actors or actresses who can successfully pull off that very specific emotion of realizing that, well, this is the thousandth time you've seen that tape.That being said, Sandler was absolutely horrible. Over the many, many years he's been making movies, he seems to have mastered the emotions of "happiness" and "weirded out" down to a science. Unfortunately, this movie requires him to feel actual emotion, and play a character that isn't exactly who he is already, and in the department of actually acting, he seems to be at a loss.Really, really atrocious.
