  • Terrible, self-described 'no budget' movie, with what is intended as disarming, direct-to-camera comments from Sandler, that merely point up the desperation of it all.

    Not even worthy of 1 star!

    This must be the worst film I have ever seen. Having seen most of Adam Sandler's more recent films, I had high hopes of where his comical genious was recognised. Unfortunatley, this film is (by it's own admission) ultra low budget, painfully drawn out and unfortuntley not funny in the slightest. I usually laugh at lots of things, some things others don't find funny at all, but I did not laugh once during this film and I think that says a lot. Don't waste a rental on this, you will only be disappointed! Adam Sandler really stooped low in this role... don't ruin your perception of him by watching this trash!

    Not the best Adam Sandler Movie

    This Was one of adam sandlers early movies. I didn't think it was as good as the movies he makes today but I had to see it. has got some funny moments though.
