I saw the trailers, it looked pretty good, so I gave it a chance and bought it. This movie was so close to be Adam Sandler's best. From the beginning of the movie, everybody kept laughing. Halfway through the movie, everyone was still laughing and I was wondering what had happened to Adam Sandler. The material was great. It wasn't typical Adam Sandler. Yes, it was Happy Madison Productions (Adam Sandler company), but it was so fresh. Up to that point, I really thought this was his best movie yet, bar none.
Until about the last 20 minutes of the movie, when the antagonist comes to America (part of the story line), and then it really changed. It became typical Adam Sandler movie, and the ending was as usual. It was disappointing because the first 70-80 minutes of the movie was so good! But even though the beginning was good, when you watch the ending, you're left with the impression of the ending. Just "it was alright". But if you stop the movie before the antagonist comes to America, you can say "man, this is so funny". So it's a bit disappointing to me. He was so close to perfecting it to be his best work yet.
One warning. If you're Arab or Jewish, you MUST have a sense of humor to watch it. It's all clean, but well... you know.
It's worth buying for the first part of the movie. It's only worth renting for the ending. Your call. :B
I have no regrets in buying it though. I really enjoyed the majority of it.
