saw it last nite, enjoyed it very much. i'm by no means an adam sandler fan, he's had his moments, but this movie proved himself well beyond happy gilmore.

anyone else see it? i like the scene changes done by the guy who did the beck album art (name leaves me at the moment).

Good Flick, found it rather funny that most of the audience was in their 50's-70's at the theatre I was at, not to mention it was PACKED.

One thing pissed me off though: I saw this 40 something mom outside afterwards say she wanted her money back, "it was the worse movie I had ever seen, you think anything with Adam Sandler in it would be funny. Both my kids (they were with her from what I observed) thought it was horrriiiiibbbllle!!!!" GEE-ZZUUSSS. People truly amaze me. If it ain't got fart and pee jokes in it, and they have to think about it, they deem it a bad movie... it is truly sad that this is what boobus americanus is coming to.

If that is what they wanted, they should have seen "Jackass". I know someone is going to post that it sucked, somewhere along the line on this board and all I have to say is this: Don't go into movie or what have you and bitch about it being "too artsy" or "not funny" when you KNOW exactly what the director and writer is known for....

let the onslaught begin...

I've never heard of it, I thought this thread was just about when you get pissed and punch the person you love.
That happens to me alot, but it's cool because she kicks the shit out of me when I'm sober.

*yeah I like it rough*

that is the problem ... most people arent up on what directors and writers are known for ..... they think that the actors are what makes a film .... and that isnt always true ..... certain actors are know for certain tings and most regular people cant see that actor doing something other than what their known for .... which is a pity and a darn shame........ I personally enjoy Adam Sandler... especially Billy Madison ..... I once watched Billy MAdison 10 times in a row while i was sick in and on bed rest .............

Viva la pork rinds!!!

i think the colors in those scene changes were more than just cool.. u know how they sometimes do color representations of sound for deaf people? i think that was what that was also, cause i've seen it done before. so that was pretty neat.

I'm still unsure whether I liked it or not. My initial reaction leaving the theater was that it was a waste of money, but as I look back, I did enjoy most of it, although I thought it was disjointed in places. And it took me three days to figure out where the song, "He needs me" is from... The movie Popeye (Robin Williams/Shelly Duvall)! I don't know if I'm more relieved or embarassed that I actually remember that movie, especially the soundtrack!

Until I remembered that this was an Adam Sandler movie, I skipped on this thread cause I thought it was some "new" punk-indie-emo-rock band.

jeremy blake is the guy who did the scene changes. if any of you own the beck cd (sea change) you probably recognize the color scheme. as soon as i saw the first segment i sat up in my seat and said "beck!" and looked around, disappointed that it didn't remind anyone else of the covers.

but yeah, it was nice.

My buddy Dan and his roomate had the fortune of seeing a pre-screening of this movie....along with PT Anderson (the director) and Adam Sandler. They even got to ask questions, etc. He has a transcription of the whole thing somewhere...I'll dig it up for ya'll.
