An average movie

Even though I heard here and there that it was one of the worst movies made in 2010, I was still curious to see how it turned out to be. Surprisingly, I don't think it was that bad actually. Indeed, the concept was actually pretty good and the whole thing was not as mean-spirited as many other Sandler's vehicles. Unfortunately, even though it was not as bad as I thought it would be, it was still pretty average. Above all, I thought it was rather poorly written. Indeed, you have 4 couples, a bunch of kids, David Spade as a single guy, but none of those characters were properly developed. At the beginning, it felt like all those couples had some issues, some kind of deep secrets but you didn't learn anything about them after all. The biggest victim was Chris Rock, my favorite actor of the bunch, as he barely had anything to do or to say during the whole thing. Concerning the jokes, some of them were funny but most of them were rather pathetic and embarrassing. Eventually, it was nothing great and pretty average but I though the whole thing was rather good-hearted and harmless. But it doesn't matter at all what I think because Adam Sandler, once again, made a chuck load of money with this flick. To conclude, even though it is eventually not one of the worst movies starring Adam Sandler, it remains a very average comedy and it is not really worth a look.
