Review
I have been an Adam Sandler fan for years but have found that he has done many more movies over the past five to ten years than he had great ideas. I thought Funny People was pretty good and also found 50 First Dates and Grown Ups entertaining but have not often fallen in love with his newer movies. I thought this would be just a feel good movie without much substance but it was actually a very good film. The setup is pretty good with a good plot good actorsactresses a great location in Hawaii that makes the film look great and a great soundtrack. I was surprised I liked it so much given how bad a lot of the reviews have been but I think this is not the average movie. The jokes were not as lowbrow as many people have said and this is a step up from some of his last few movies. Adam Sandler is obviously hilarious and is making a fortune with his production company so I think he gets a bad rap for putting out too many lower quality films. In the case of this movie everyone in the audience at the show I went to loved it and stood up clapping. I liked it as well though I didn't clap. Go see it and enjoy! Adrian Meli
