I`m not normall a big fan of this genre, but I must say this was a plesant surprised. The characters depicted were done brilliantly. From Tea leoni`s obession of portraying the perfect image/money buys all, to Adam Sandler`s down to earth Character, to flor`s appreciation of own`s on identity. Sure they were taking jabs at rich people, but money brings short term thrills but doesn`t provide long term happiness.
A wonderful film. Finally a movie where big stars didn`t get in the way of the story.
WOW - I just came from this movie, and quickly perused some of the reviews. To each his/her own I guess. I (and my 2 friends) thought this movie was sooo good. It was funny, sweet, real, Adam Sandler was awesome in a role that is such a departure for him from his usual goofy role, and Vega, Leoni, and the 2 girls that played the daughters were sooo good. I can`t believe anyone took offense at the `elitist` private school business. Get the chip off your shoulder. I thought it was a believable love story ...I only wish...I could complete that sentence - but those of you who saw it will perhaps know what i mean. Also, anyone who goes to
I am usually pretty critical of many of the movies that are released, but I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this one! I`m not a huge Adam Sandler fan, but I found his performance as well as the others to be very good! This movie was a pleasant surprise!
I love Adam Sandler as an actor, funny, but this is not one of his best
Normally, I can`t stand Adam Sandler but I think he did a great job in this straight role. The movie`s theme was wonderful!
I LOVED THIS MOVIE! Incredible characters portrayed excellently by a talented team of actors. Loveable but flawed humans tossed together in a salad spinner -- another Brooks masterpiece on humanity.
Terrible movie...Not worth much of a review!
This movie is HORRIBLE!! I thought the ease with which the writer/ producers critcized Americans was disgusting, but I guess it is not PC for me to bring that up. Also, those evil kids at a, gulp, PRIVATE school are to apparently be avoided at all cost, unless you want your kids to "become like THEM". Spare me the racist, elitist droll. I want my money and time back!
The characters were very good, but severely ruined by the story line. Very little happened in the middle hour and a half. The other 45 minutes, the beginning and the end, were okay. Note to those anti-Sandler- very clean, non-humourous chararacter in this one. Overall, though, needs some serious pickups in the plot line.
