I am now convinced that the IMDB rating system is going the way of Amazon where the ratings are being "stuffed" to boost sales...This movie is pure crap. I loved that Adam Sandler attempted a new character however, this film made him nothing more than a screaming Jewish hipster for 2.5 hours. He had zero character arc - he never got better or worse or developed or anything - just a screaming Jewish hipster and it got old. Really, it's the fault of the scriptwriter and Directors - this was just a zero of a story with no plotline whatsover so how is the Howard Ratner character ever going to experience anything worth following? There was nothing to root for - nothing funny, Nothing dramatic. There was no goal to achieve or action to accomplish. Just a bunch of bit parts for Kevin Garnett and "The Weekend" to show up and win a couple 10 star reviews from kids who have no idea how awful this movie is. Garnett did surprise me with his performance. I thought he played himself very well - it's just a shame he was trapped in this abortion of a movie that is so bad that I will be pissed off for weeks after wasting my time in watching it!
