After seeing so many good reviews from online sources, I thought I had to watch this. I am sorry I spent time doing so. The sound track kills the movie for sure. It is loud, intrusive and instead of adding to the intensity, rather irritates the viewer. Add people talking over each other all the time to the anoying soundtrack and you have one big noise. I kept turning the sound down on my home theater system until I had to stop the movie. It actually gave me a headache. Sandler was good in the movie, but during the dramatic crying scenes, I just could not believe his sadness or humiliation. It felt like he was little Nicky as an adult. I did finish watching it, and it left me sad, annoyed and irritated. It is a movie my wife would call "unnecessary" and this time I have to agree with her.
