I’m curious because outside of my close friends a lot of people I have talked to haven’t seen it or don’t really have a strong opinion on it. Most of the reviews were terrible. But in my opinion it’s one of the funniest movies Adam Sandler has ever done. It is incredibly crass and stupid but in a perfect way that is absolutely hilarious and Adam and Andy had great comedic chemistry. The random appearance of Vanilla Ice, James Caan as the fighting priest. Everything about this movie just worked. Anyways I was just curious if others enjoyed it as much as I did.

Garbage but Eva Amurri is hot at the beginning.

Absolutely love it. One of my favorites. Vanilla Ice kills it.

The first time I watched it, I didn’t understand Sandler’s character. Annoying voice and a jackass. But on the second watch, I realized what his character is and he plays it perfectly. Once you realize who the character is, it’s freakin hilarious.

The beginning with the kids is hilarious as well as the ending montage with Ice and the wedding. So freakin funny. The cassette deck and the Walkman. The wedding “What? You didn’t tell him.”

Like Zohan, I didn’t expect to love it but laughed my arse off.

I disagree with your first point but the second one cannot be stated enough.

Dave Matthews coming through at the end with a bomb and a cage full of puppies had me crying laughing. Another example of a stupid movie that is hilarious and fun to watch.

I thought the Rex Ryan/Tom Brady scene was pretty funny.

Me and my high school buddies pissed our pants the first time watching it. Have never seen it again.

That’s about as far as it goes.

You either like these Adam Sandler movies or you don’t.

There doesn’t seem to be much middle ground.

Definitely another classic underrated one in the Sand Man’s repertoire. Sandler doesn’t miss.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one. When I saw this movie with a bunch of friends wen it came out, they all thought it was the dumbest movie ever, but I always thought it was solid. IDC.

I feel like it was one of Beyer movies but was hurt that it came out right after his worst ever movie.

I like the concept and Vanaila Ice was great in it. By the way I can't believe that Vanilla Ice was so smart with his money and has hundreds of millions of dollars now. I would have thought he would have gone bankrupt.

The gag of him always having a beer on him was legit hilarious. I think the “twist” of the incest was a little out there for most people

Very underrated. Some dumb parts, but some really funny parts as well.

I love Adam Sandler and think that he's had a fantastic latter part of his career, but "doesn't miss" is a bit strong.




Jack and Jill exists, man.
