An average funny movie

Nowadays, it seems that Adam Sandler has lost his touch and, except for those ‘Grown Ups’ movies, all his recent efforts have turned out to be some flops at the box-office (‘Pixels’, ‘The Cobbler’, ‘Men, Women & Children’, ‘Blended’, ‘That's My Boy’, ‘Jack and Jill’). Personally, I don’t think his movies have become worse through the years. I think there were already pretty weak right from the start, even if there were some box-office hits and this movie was a fine example. Indeed, this time, Sandler decided to remake a classic. I have seen both versions and even though the original is not one of my favorites, it was still a good movie whereas this remake was rather lame and unnecessary (was there ever a necessary remake ? good question...) and Adam Sandler was rather unbelievable in this character. Come on! How could you switch Gary Cooper with Adam Sandler?!? The best part was that it was eventually a success at the box-office... You gotta to be kidding me... To conclude, it was pretty much a typical average Sandler flick, I thought it was rather tedious to behold and I don’t think it is really worth a look, except maybe if you are a fan of the genre.
