Good fun. Silly stuff, but has a lot of heart., 16 August 2008
8/10
Author: GRjingo from Glasgow, Scotland

Well given that I am a huge fan of Sandler but an even bigger fan of Star Wars, imagine my surprise when I chose this over the Clone Wars! Well I wasn't let down! Once again we are given a (kind of slapstick) comedy from Adam Sandler that has enough heart to make you care about the characters, and enough story that you feel that the movie is going somewhere.

While there was plenty of material to entertain adults and the like i.e. sex jokes, references to other movies and politics, there was also enough visual comedy to keep younger viewers entertained e.g. silly fight scenes and animal jokes.

While the cinema was mixed with very different ages, I disaproved with parents taking very young children to see this movie, as the sex humour was very raunchy, funny, but not for young kids.

Would be a good date movie! Otherwise, it's just a great night out at the flicks.
