'JUST GO WITH IT': Two and a Half Stars (Out of Five) Another generic Adam Sandler vehicle, this one teaming Sandler with
Jennifer Aniston and re-teaming him with director Dennis Dugan (who
also directed 'HAPPY GILMORE', 'BIG DADDY', 'I NOW PRONOUNCE YOU CHUCK
& LARRY', 'YOU DON'T MESS WITH THE ZOHAN' and 'GROWN UPS'...

If Paul Blart: Mall Cop had been made 20 years ago, it would have
starred John Candy. That's a complement, by the way. Candy had a knack
for playing bungling, yet good-hearted people who mainly wanted to
please. He certainly specialized in playing people who tried too hard
to be nice to cover up past pain. There's a lot of this in Kevin James'
performance as the tit...

I have read a lot of negative reviews about this movie. I'd have to say
that they are 100% correct. I have also read some reviews by people who
absolutely loved it. They are also 100% correct. I tend to be more
toward the second group, but I can definitely see both sides.The plot makes no sense. The dialogue is at times very bad. However (a
very big however), I think that this ...

We went to this movie with my two kids (ages 7 and 10, both girls), my
Brother-in-law and his wife and their two kids (ages six and nine, both
boys.) We were a bit apprehensive about this due to the poor critics
ratings on Rotten Tomatoes. (Frankly, the critics gave it abysmal
ratings and I almost avoided this entirely because of those ratings.)
And perhaps they were right. But...

Last night I went to a screening of this film and didn't know what to
expect. I have to say this is the best Adam Sandler comedy since Happy
Gilmore. It seems that with this new comedy duo that Sandler got his
magic back. This story is about two firefighters in Brooklyn who have
been best friends for what seems like forever. Larry Valentine (James)

First and foremost, I only gave this movie a 9 to out weigh all the 1s
that morons are giving it, I believe that it truly deserves about a
6.5-7.0 (currently it has a 5.5 with 87 votes). Look this is a funny
movie, it's not ground breaking and it is certainly low-brow but it's
actually quite enjoyable. The critics are trying to make it into the
worst movie of the new year, whic...

See, I am a married man. And watching this movie, at home on the sofa
with my wife whom I love above anything and hopefully always will,
almost brought me to tears and easily did her. This movie, no matter
all the overdone/overacted characters and the fact that Adam Sandler is
probably the worst person in the world the act crying, is simply the
best description of love ever. To...

I saw this movie in the theater with my father and I have to say even
though Sandler can annoy me most of the time, this is one of his better
comedies. I think he owes that to Jack Nicholson's performance, since
Jack can carry a film so well he also makes the jokes into perfect cues
and great laughs. Adam does a good job as well, both actors worked very
well together and ac...

I liked Mr. Deeds. It's a good if not great film. Some people may feel
that it does a real dis-service to the 1930's original, but I think that's
often what you get when you update stories for modern audiences.Adam Sandler plays Deeds, a modest, well-liked pizzeria owner in a small
town in New Hampshire. He learns that his great-uncle, who recently
perished atop a mountain peak,...

Geeze, this movie got the shaft! I thought it was a lot of fun and pretty
funny. The Ozzy Osbourne line, 'Here, kill him with theeees' cracks me up
every time. I don't know why this is disdained so much. Sure, it's no
"Rushmore", but it has its place and I enjoy it for what it is--a
kind-hearted, dumb, funny comedy in the vein of "Dumb & Dumber" or "Tommy
Boy"--both classic...

It's hard not to like "Big Daddy", though diehard fans of Adam Sandler may
well cringe at this further step in the sentimentalization of the comic
actor. For although this film has raised the hackles of a number of
overly
sensitive worrywarts for its seeming endorsement of permissive parenting,
the film is, in reality, far more soft-hearted than hard-edged. Actually,
this...

I LOVED this movie. Not as great as "50 First Dates", but it's
definitely a repeater, especially on a rainy day or with a group of
girlfriends. Yes, the plot was "cute" and maybe even unbelievable, but
what's so bad about a feel good movie. Drew as Josie and her romance
with the teacher is so sweet and brother baseball wannabee adds to the
movie's good feeling. With all the jun...

I'm usually pretty cynical about cheesy movies but this movie absolutely
floored me. Drew Barrymore was phenomenal playing role of Julia
Sullivan.
I've seen the movie at least 30 times by now and her expressions still
make
me cry, they're just so sincere. I don't know how else to put it. As for
Adam Sandler I think that this is his best role yet, he's a real person
in...

I have to admit: this Adam Sandler no-brainer is hilarious, just had me
laughing right from the start. I'd rank it in my top ten funny movies
of my collection and it features one of my favorite characters in film:
Bobby Boucher Jr., a heckuva lot nicer guy than Sandler's "Happy
Gilmore." "Bobby" is about as innocent and a gentle-natured a guy as you'll find
this side of Forrest...

A "pro" golfer duking it out with veteran game-show host Bob Barker
right in the middle of a tournament. That scene alone makes this one of
the more memorable comedies of the last 30 years. Almost everyone I
know has either seen or heard of that scene and everyone laughs at it.It IS ludicrous and that's what makes it so funny. In fact, most of the
movie is totally preposterous, tot...
