An average movie

Honestly, it has been a while since I have seen this flick and I should definitely re-watch it whenever I have the opportunity. Anyway, I remember very well when it was released, back then, I was expecting a lot from this movie. Not because of Sandler (by now, I have seen most of his movies and his whole gimmick is pretty lame in my opinion) but because it was directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, probably one of the most interesting directors around nowadays. Unfortunately, I have to admit that I was kind of disappointed by the whole thing. I mean, it was not bad, far from it, and it was just way better than everything else Adam Sandler had done at the time but I still had a hard time to connect with the characters and what they were going through. The funniest part is that, with this movie, Adam Sandler finally tried something else, something more challenging, more interesting and what was his reward? The movie completely tanked at the box-office... Anyway, to conclude, even though I wasn’t really blown away by the whole thing, it was a still a decent flick, easily one of the best starring Adam Sandler, and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in Paul Thomas Anderson’s work.
