Where to start... I'm a huge Adam Sandler fan and wanted to like this movie. BUT, it's so convoluted that it became boring after only 20 minutes or so. Between the main characters shady deals, women, gambling and bad debts, it was just too hard to follow from segment to segment. My thoughts are that the writers tried to throw in 'everything but the kitchen sink' and that's where they messed up. And, not only that. The soundtrack was horrible. It was often so loud that you couldn't even hear what the actors were saying over it. The acting was OK'ish. It was just a poorly written mess of a film. If not for Adam Sandler being in the film, I would have thought it was made by 2 middle of the road film students with a $20k budget. It's just poorly written and edited piece of garbage. I did notice ONE odd thing though. Most of the higher Star Rating Reviews have the feel of being written by the same person. A few things are changed from review to review. But, the basics are the same. Take a look and you'll see what I mean. Most of the 9-10 star reviews are mostly 'advertisements' for the directors and their other films.
