Der Chaos-Dad

Clearly, then , this movie isn't for everybody. If you're not a true Adam Sandler fan, then do yourself a favor and don't go. Do the rest of us a favor and don't moan and write about how shocked and disgusted you were. Do something else, for goodness sakes! I laughed out loud. I loved the jokes- this is Sandler's funniest movie in years. I liked his "serious" stuff like "Punch Drunk" and "Spanglish"- but I love the raunchy, over-the-top comedies. That's what I go to an Adam Sandler movie for.

I can't give a rationale for why this movie delighted me so much. Can't do it. I just know I thought it was hilarious. And the audience I was in (a small town with a large university) laughed and whooped throughout. And for what it's worth, many of the guffaws and whoops were female, as near as I could tell.

I see one or two movies a week. Lately we seem to have a movie dry spell (in my view). I left the theater tonight actually smiling a huge silly-ass grin. I was uplifted, energized, and felt really, really good.

If you can find this kind of humor funny, check this movie out. This is a particularly well done rendition of whatever it is we should call Sandler humor. I LOVED it!
