Well, it's not a silly typical Sandlers comedy, it's a drama...but this itself doesnt make it good movie or Sandler a good actor. The story is great, I felt tense all the way but there is quite a few moments where you are slapped by "oh it's Sandler" like the scene where he breaks down at the front of Julia - tragic!! His character is also not fully worked out - it's too simple in moments and lack of depth or maybe that was the idea being dumb who behaves irrational.
