An average movie

Obviously, with Adam Sandler's awful track record, I wasn't expecting much from this flick but, somehow, I still ended up watching it. And guess what? To my surprise, I didn't really hate it, in fact, I'm pretty sure it was the most watchable movie starring Sandler that I have seen in a very long time. Of course, it doesn't mean much but it is still something. At first, it was pretty obvious that the whole thing was going to be terrible. I mean, the premise was terribly misguided, Sandler was again playing one of his horrible obnoxious characters with this typical voice which has never been funny but, under all this garbage, there was something about this story that still did work. Indeed, the whole messed-up father-son relationship was actually intriguing and if it would have been a more straight comedy without all the moronic gross jokes, it could have been something. Berger was indeed a shitty father but he did love his son and even when he guy pretended that his father was dead and wouldn't introduce him properly, he would just play along to help him out. At the end of the day, it was still pretty weak though (my wife saw a bit and was appalled that I would watch something like this with my step-son) and it was still not really worth a look.
