MonsterPerfect Good idea lost in the noise

Motompa Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

pointyfilippa The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

Phillida Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

manumart-30127 The message is more powerful than the acting or characters. Don't give up if you really want to. Great movie

Matt Greene There are certainly touches of the Sandler productions we've come to despise here (non-essential jokes, unfunny third-tier characters, Sandler casting himself as a perfect romantic figure). The difference is this is when he still cared, with a main story and central characters that are cute, engaging, and bursting with humor. If you can get past the manipulative and un-credible conceit (which may be too tall a task for some), the sweetness of this rom-com should win you over, and may even drag a few tears out of you.

Ali Ahmad That was really a brilliant movie. I love drew barrymore. She was wonderful.

borowiecsminus The premise for this movie was, quite frankly, pure genius. It was one of those rare ideas that could be brilliant as either a comedy or a drama. This could have been a harrowing, yet beautiful love story. It could have been a riveting, intelligent comedy. But when they cast Sandler, it became neither.Instead of telling an almost comically tragic story of love prevailing against impossible odds, they take a real medical condition and stretch it and stretch it until it becomes almost offensively unrealistic. I swear, "Finding Nemo," who only had the condition for laughs, did it better than this movie, which was fueled by its very presence. The directing is alright. There's rarely anything specifically wrong with directing in a movie. In addition to this, there were multiple occasions where I found myself laughing. There was one occasion that I was cracking up.But those are the only redeeming qualities. The acting, writing, and realism are all atrocious.The writing is my biggest problem. Once again, it takes a fantastic premise and wastes it on lesbian jokes. It wastes it on slapstick. It wastes it on vomit jokes. It wastes it on butt crack jokes, and worst of all, it wastes it on Adam Sandler.Which brings us to the acting. Barrymore was actually very good in this movie; I'm not going to lie. Especially considering the incredible emotion she's tasked with portraying, she's phenomenal. There are very few actors or actresses who can successfully pull off that very specific emotion of realizing that, well, this is the thousandth time you've seen that tape.That being said, Sandler was absolutely horrible. Over the many, many years he's been making movies, he seems to have mastered the emotions of "happiness" and "weirded out" down to a science. Unfortunately, this movie requires him to feel actual emotion, and play a character that isn't exactly who he is already, and in the department of actually acting, he seems to be at a loss.Really, really atrocious.
