Sony must have spent $100 million promoting this movie. Those guys have been doing interviews/promotions since the Super Bowl.

I won't see it in the theater, rent for sure. You gotta hand it to Sandler
in deciding to cast his wife for the movie... Salma Hayek.

The theatre I saw it at was packed in and they all clapped at the end and I thought it was well worth the time, my whole family liked it a lot.

It falls short of what it could be simply because of glaring holes in dialogue that are like buzz kills sprinkled throughout the movie.

That's truly a shame too because with much tighter and crisper dialogue with a purpose or a compelling plot line followed through logically this could of been epic.

It just had a lot of wandering around time along with plot dead ends or don't cares in it that could of been so tightened up but the movie has some hilarious scenes in it.

I recently watched it. I couldn't agree more. This should have been much funnier. I'm not sure what the deal was with the Kevin James health plot line. It seems like they cut some scenes.
