when i was watching it i didn't like it too much. i felt it was edited poorly, the acting was decent, and the script was sub-par for PTA...but then after the movie i couldnt get a few things out of my head and went back to thinking about it...anyway, i thought the movie did two things extremely well.
1. it gave adam sandler a reason to act the way he did in all of his previous movies....
by showing keeping his character almost EXACTLY the same as in all the other movies (this quite kid with a hint of rage) he showed us a possible explanation for his behavior (the sisters and their domineering presence over him) it also gave sandler a little lower lows and some higher anger peaks in his performance, which is really just like his other movies except for higher and lower extremes...
