An average movie

Honestly, I have never been a huge fan of Adam Sandler but I have still managed to watch 2/3 of his movies. Not so long ago, there was a time that Adam Sandler was one of the few stars (like Will Smith and Johnny Depp) who could guarantee a box-office success but, nowadays, those days are actually gone as most of his recent movies have been flops. Anyway, more than a decade ago, while Sandler was at the height of his popularity, he made this flick and, considering the gross, we can say that this one flopped. Was it the haircut? Did the moviegoers wake up eventually and decided that they won´t tolerate this crap anymore ? Difficult to say… I saw this one and, even though it wasn’t one of his worst efforts, it was still very average. I mean, for once, he did try to play a different character than usual but his Nicky was just so obnoxious, so pathetic, it was after all not really an improvement. At least, there was a decent supporting cast but it wasn’t nearly enough to save this flick. To conclude, I have seen worse, but I still didn’t like it much and I don’t think it is worth a look, expect maybe if you are a die-hard fan of Adam Sandler.
