I like Sandler, so I'll probably see it. Hopefully it'll be funny.

[TJ Wells]

Ha I saw this on Joblo..."clever" premise.

[boldt_action]

Could be interesting. I'm not into gay on the big screen though. Not my thing.

[kirbs84]

Ha I saw this on Joblo..."clever" premise.

sarcasm?

[TJ Wells]

Indeed...could still be funny though.

[Darren McLeod]

Good people are involved, so it could be funny. Hopefully they don't try to get all the laughs through homophobia or gay-bashing, but instead do smart things with it.

I agree. The good thing is though, Sandler has had gay content in his other movies and made it funny without bashing. Look at Big Daddy, two of his best friends were gay, but they were still able to make it funny without bashing it.

[MIKEY_HORROR]

saw this a couple nights ago....it was pretty funny...I was a bit suprised

[myworstmistakes]

some of my friends are going to see this tonight, i'm saving myself the $10.

i really like kevin james but this just doesn't look funny to me.

[MADSTA]

I think this movie looks terrible.

[TJ Wells]

Sucked. It makes me sad people would rather see this than Hairspray.

[nonamesleft]

Looks pretty dec

[AShannon04]

Kevin James is great, but I'm not dying to see this. I'll have to rent it.

[Balibus]

They worked too hard to avoid promoting homophobia, but they still crack all the same cliche' "gay" jokes....

Seriously, it's messed up when you try to make a film have a politically correct ending after you just been cracking "don't drop the soap" jokes for the past hour and a half.

Exactly. Couldn't have said it better myself.

The thing is though, from what I read at least, they were trying to be politically correct from the get go because they had some gay rights people or something read over the script and stuff to make sure it wouldn't offend anyone.

I don't really imagine the movie to be very funny either way though.

[LendMeYourBrain]

I'll probably see this when its in the dollar theater.

[Chancetobe]

I think this movie had it's good and bad points. The bigining was just stupid, and completely un-realistic. However, it had a few laugh out loud moments, and a good lesson learned. So, it wasn't a complete failure as a movie. Hardly adam sandlers best work, but a cute movie nonetheless.

[Thankuverymuch]

This movie looks pretty bad.

[Trainsaw]

kinda surprised this ended up #1

[m_rue]

I can't believe this movie beat out HP.

[myworstmistakes]

#1? wow, i definitely wouldn't have predicted that.

[slickwataris]

I like Kevin James so I will see this, eventually.


14% on RT. wow.

[TJ Wells]

#1? wow, i definitely wouldn't have predicted that.
i would've. harry potter is in its second weekend and hairspray got fucked because stupid people hate musicals.

[FondestMemory]

how did hairspray get fucked when it ended up opening with the biggest opening weekend for any movie musical ever?

[IAPAI]

who the fuck likes Kevin James?

[myworstmistakes]

i would've. harry potter is in its second weekend and hairspray got fucked because stupid people hate musicals.

i guess i just figured harry potter would be number one for another week.

who the fuck likes Kevin James?

me. king of queens is pretty funny.

[AShannon04]

his stand-up is awesome too.

[myworstmistakes]

his stand-up is awesome too.

yeah..i saw one special and loved it. but i didn't want to base my assessment of his stand up on just that one special.

i think he just picks bad movie roles for some reason..or maybe he isn't meant for movies.

[TJ Wells]

King of Queens rules.

[jtrocka182]

I went and saw this movie today. I liked it, obviously not Sandler's best work but a funny movie.

[GoWaitInTheCar]

I mean if you are into Adam Sandler playing the same character as he always does, you'll love this..

I'm not into Sandler, I think this movie will be bland and uninteresting.

[Clarett'sGreyGoose]

Sandler? James?

fucking Jessica Biel, dude.

[Mitch]

This movie looks absolutely awful. I honestly cringe when my friends tell me, "Hey, that new Adam Sandler movie looks hilarious".

[pshh]

biel is the win

[AShannon04]

King of Queens rules.

for real. I dunno why; it's a pretty standard network sitcom, so you'd think it would suck, but it's really funny, and I love it.

[meeotch]

Same here. 9 hilarious seasons.

[candleplate]

This movie looks alright. I'll probably wait until it comes out on DVD though.

i saw an episode this week where doug is supposed to be going to overeaters anonymous and ends up in an abusive relationship support group. needless to say, hijinks did indeed ensue.

oh, and just avoid chuck and larry and see hairspray. i saw it three times this weekend. god i love that movie.

[Mitch]

Speaking of Hairspray, the original was on TBS the other night and while I didn't finish it, I really enjoyed what I saw of it and need to rent it out so I can finish it (yes, TJ, I know you hated the original, haha).

I'm pretty sure I'd rather see 1 minute of Biel in underwear than 1 second of John Travolta.

[thetrueblood]

i want to see this. while some sandlers characters are over the top (waterboy and the like)
I think he has a real sense of style in his overall character. The Wedding Singer is still one of my favorite films.

thats too bad.

[PaulsRightNut]

I don't understand why people actually think this looks good.

[Shatter_Glass]

eh, i thought it was better than it should have been. go see it.

[MusicalSpirit]

eh, i thought it was better than it should have been. go see it.

I agree. I thought another Sandler movie could be dreadful...but I was surprised. Worth seeing it in theater.

[Clarett'sGreyGoose]

I have to agree with the last two posts. I didn't think it would be good, seeing as how it's been thrashed on Rotten Tomatoes, but I think it ended up being pretty decent if you just watch it and don't mentally cry about the homo jokes being paired with political correctness

[tambam]

Didn't like it all that much, but it had its funny moments.

[IAPAI]

King of Queens rules.

I don't know how you can say that about a show that makes Everybody Loves Raymond look good.

[Balibus]

I don't know how you can say that about a show that makes Everybody Loves Raymond look good.

LMAO.
That's pretty hard to do, actually.
I don't believe there's many things out there that are truly ass-tastic enough to make that piece of unfunny blandness look good.

[cahrishurr]

who the fuck likes Kevin James?

This guy, who owns all the seasons of King of Queens except the last season which has yet to be released.

[TBSowns524]

i had low expectations going to see this and i came out pleasantly surprised. I thought the movie was hilarious and doesn't deserve a lot of the crap it is getting. There are a ton of recognizable people in the movie and if you want to laugh and don't worry too much about political correctness you should definitely see it.

[.jm]

adam sandler.

that is all.

[DjJazzyGeoff]

i expected a typical forced comedy, and it pretty much was. It had back to back jokes though, which is a plus

okay....I won't bash you for that....
but even so.

name ONE part of that movie that you found so "hilarious" then:
lol.

[StandMyBrothers]

Nick Swardson plays yet another gay role in this movie haha...

[mikeyxxcore]

I thought it was pretty good.
Sandler hasnt lost his touch to me.

[Yes. And?]

It looks stupid. If want to see goofball comedies, I'll just trun on TNT or whatever. I wouldn't pay to see this.

[laryssa]

I enjoyed it. I like both Adam Sandler and Kevin James a lot, so I might be bias. It had gay jokes, but it was more so you could see the main characters grow accepting of different lifestyles. Hardly offensive or exploiting, in my opinion. I really thought I would be laughing a lot more with the two main characters being who they are, but I didn't. It had a lot of heart in it as well, which is nice, but I want another goofball Sandler flick like Billy Madison.

[Rock]

I haven't seen this, but I don't need to to know that it's typical of Adam Sandler movies in that everyone expects it to be funny because Adam Sandler is in it, but it isn't. Terrible writing and terrible premises. Adam Sandler hasn't been funny since Happy Gilmore.

[SemiFict10n]

Saw it on Monday, it was pretty funny.
