Know What You’re In For Before You See This
Boy, did this movie disappoint a lot of people…..but not me. The “disappointed” were the Adam Sandler fans who expected another “Happy Gilmore”-type character, the kind of goofball the comedian has built a career on portraying. Instead, they got a dark comedy/drama that was anything but the typical Sandler fare. They also got a weird story.I had the advantage of knowing what to expect, and that helped a lot. Also, I guess I’ve watched too many movies because I am beginning to like some of these oddball films….and this one certainly qualifies as “odd.” I thought the mixture of dark humor, drama, suspense and romance all made for a fascinating film. You just never knew what was coming next, something funny or something horrifying. This is definitely something different and I suspect one of those movies you’ll either really like or really hate.
I supposed it helped I like Emily Watson, who is the female love interest in here. No one that nice would keep seeing a wacko like Sandler’s character in here, but that’s the movies for you. In most cases, you have to suspend your belief.
The storyline, whether pleasant or very unpleasant, got me involved and the camera-work in here was interesting, too. In summary, it’s a curiosity piece for those who like something different. Just don’t expect a happy, hilarious Happy Gilmore.
