Don't care all that much what anyone esle thinks of it.<br/><br/>I used to hate Adam Sandler until I saw Punch Drunk Love which I loved and have kind of seen him in a new light since. Even though I'm not a fan of his sillier stuff. Actually I thought Spanglish was surprisingly good for a Romcom and Reign Over Me wasn't bad either.

But I know how you feel, it's highly annoying when the rest of the world seems to rate something highly while to you it seems obviously terrible.<br/><br/>I feel this way about Adam Sandler. Sure, people says his movies aren't great, the thing is though there are no words to describe how bad they truly are. Suffice to say, if you like ANYTHING he has EVER done, then without you being aware of it, the world AND god classify you as a moron. Now that is a painful truth.

Can't remember where I heard about it. Just checked rotten tomatoes though and it gets a whopping 88%. Christ! Yeah I’d give it 3 stars too.

Out of 20!

Not sure about reviews. Can’t remember where I heard about it. Just checked rotten tomatoes though and it gets a whopping 88%. Christ!

Really? I suppose someone must have told me it was good (I will hunt them down) as it somehow ended up on my moviestar list. <br/><br/>Yeah as well as the terrible caricatures there were holes all over the place.

I can't believe the amount of people who go on about how great it was. It was fucking rubbish.<br/><br/>The story was just ludicrous. I mean, for a start, how did the pregnant girl get out of the place which had no doors or windows? Did she slither under the door?<br/><br/>Hated this film a lot. Not quite as much as A History of Violence but still a lot. Hurrah, someone else who thought it was utter crap. I can’t believe the amount of people who go on about how great it was.
