So... what do you all think? Sandler is reviled around here, but Apatow is loved. What will happen together?
I think this might finally be a return to form to the days of Happy Gilmore.

Wow...what a piece of shit this was. The first 20 minutes were fine and then the film just uses the same jokes OVER AND OVER AND OVER again... then they try to cram a message into the flick and have one of the worst 'Finale' scenes I've ever seen in a movie... really disjointed in a lot of places (Why the fuck is he a limo driver for one night?) and with the exception of a funny Rocky spoof bit, everything that is even remotely funny is in the trailer.
Tired and uninspired from start to finish... The fact that Sandler and Apatow wrote this garbage left me feeling pissed off and sad... I love Sandler flicks but man, this one was brutal.

I would never pay to see this in a theater, but I'll certainly rent it. I chuckled at the trailer, and I like Sandler, so it's at least worth seeing once.
I don't watch Sandler's earlier films much any more, which is unfortunate, as I used to enjoy them a lot. Damn you to hell maturing process!

My cousin and I went to see this today. Within a half-hour, we walked out and into The Strangers. Arguably the worst thing Sandler and Apatow have ever been involved in I've ever seen.
Three-word review: Fuck the Zohan.
