Infamousta brilliant actors, brilliant editing
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Terry Anderson Quite possibly the worse movie I have ever seen. My brother rented this about ten years ago and I still haven't forgiven him. How did it get made and after making this horrendous film, who thought it was a good idea to actually release it. I wish I had a picture of the face I was making as a sat through this entire film, so I could at least laugh at that memory. Why the hell was Blockbuster even renting it out! Every copy should be burned!
magicmanmb Can't put a spoiler as there is nothing to spoil. The opening and constant talking to the camera is annoying, some films have used it in small doses, not this one. If Sandler had done some of the writing instead of ripping of Henny Youngmans rejects possibly it could have been a 2 star, I realize it was partly due to first time. I don't see Billy Bob Thornton added to the movie. The excessive profanity was just truly offensive. Fine line working blue & using it instead of proper dialogue. The F word was used countless times, in FAME it fit in with the character it wasn't necessary to use it here.I have truly never seen so poorly written material. I bought as part of a box lot of 100 at an auction. Watched it and felt like I had become dumber by watching after looking at the reviews. I'm giving it to my Mother in law for Christmas, many times she has said Adam Sandler SNL & Movies are always funny we'll see what she says now. I think all the other reviews are kind. Please save your money but if you must see if its playing on a free or introductory price service.
tristanveronie I'd rather die than ever watch this movie ever again. It gave me a migraine. I'll never laugh at anything Adam Sandler ever says again for the rest of my life. I couldn't even finish watching this atrocious movie because I literally felt ill. I am not kidding.Do not ever watch this movie under any circumstances. If you're looking for a "so bad it's good" movie, look somewhere else. There are no redeeming factors about it at all. This movie saps the energy from you, to the point where you can't even muster up the motivation to cringe. Do not watch it. I'm begging you.Although, if you do happen to locate a copy of the film (if you can even call it one. I'm pretty sure the only thing that ran through the camera to record this monstrosity was a roll of toilet paper), be sure to purchase it and get rid of it, so that no one will ever have to view it ever again.
makiprettywoman3 I don't know what people are talking about. I don't see how this movie could get a 1.8 rating. I don't see how this Adam Sandler movie could be lower rated than Jack and Jill. Yes this movie can slow at times but some moments are really funny.Adam Sandler plays a struggling comedian who takes a lowly job on a cruise ship in hopes eventually he could be a big cruise ship comedian. You have Scott LaRose who plays Dickie Diamond the cruise ship comedian. Dickie Diamond is someone who uses the F-Word a lot. You wouldn't think he is the cruise ship comedian but he is. He ends up eventually getting locked up in a bathroom. The people on the cruise ship think he must have died and have a funeral for him. It was one of my favorite parts of the movie. There are some parts of this movie that are really funny. I don't understand why this movie gets such a low rating. There are plenty of other worse Adam Sandler movies.
