It's nothing original, the story of a 'normal' guy inheriting a fortune has been done to death. And Sandler plays the same sort of character again, only this time with a less confrontational exterior. Despite this, the film is quite funny. Sure, some of the jokes are painfully obvious, and others just aren't funny, but a lot of the goings-on are standably stupid enough to enjoy. The best part of the film for me was John Turturro's character, who proves again why he's one of my favourite actors. Overall, the film is a bit stupid, but good if that's what you're looking for.
