Surprise
Very good performances but the best way I can describe it is “loud”.

Good movie. Movie might be a tad overrated as indicated above but performances were not.

Wow, I was looking forward to this one, but seeing these ASFN* reviews I may have to pass.

Yeah, and a bit exhausting. I'm not sure what all the oscar buzz was about, perhaps because Sandler actually acted in this one. Still a solid film though.

Kevin Garnett was excellent. I didn't know this until now, but he was also an extra in the '94 film Blue Chips along with Jim Caviezel.
