If you are over 30 years of age and have been wondering if what happened in your youth has affected your life thus far, then you need to see this movie.
Written, Produced and starring Adam Sandler, probably in one of his funniest movies in the past few years. Along for the ride are fellow SNL players, Chris Rock, David Spade, Rob Schneider, and good friend Kevin James.
When their basketball coach passes away, the guys, and their families, come together to mourn his passing, and then plan a weekend at their favorite getaway in the mountains.
Several other former Saturday Night Live players have parts in this film including Tim Meadows. Salma Hayek plays the wife of Adam's character, and Maria Bello stars as Kevin James wife.
While the humor is a little crude, you will be nodding to yourself, 'yep, uh-huh, that's how it was' in many scenes, There are places where you will laugh yourself silly, and want to come back and watch this again to see what you missed.
In our audience I noticed a lot of younger, college age, people who were just dumbfounded by all the older people in the audience roaring with laughter at some of the jokes. That is why I truly think that if you aren't over 35, this movie will not mean as much to you, and you might find the story contrived, and the jokes a little flat. Thank Goodness, they didn't show the best parts of the movie in the trailers.
On the Junkie Meter, this film gets a solid FOUR stars our of Five. This will be a movie I will buy on DVD when it is released, but I also plan on seeing it again in the theater at one more time.
