Watched this movie last night for the first time, ever. I must admit it was pretty good! I'm not a huge Adam Sandler fan, but it was quite a movie! (Nothing against Sandler, I guess I just don't have an appreciation for his style of comedy).
The main thing that attracted me to this movie was Kathy Bates -- I'm a major fan of hers!!!! I've liked her ever since I saw her years and years ago in Fried Green Tomatoes and Stephen King's Misery! She has an elegant, classy charm about her, regardless of the type of role she plays!!!! ;D

Yes Adom Sandler is quite funny. You should check him out in Little Nickie A very funny show about the son of the devil. Very cute. I must agree Cathy Bates is quite an actress also. Great in Misery.

I love Adam Sandler; he is a very funny guy. The Waterboy came out when I was in 6th grade and everyone used to quote it constantly. Sadly, though, I think Adam has lost his touch; his movies are much more sentimental and less wacky now. If you go back and look at the penguin scenes in Billy Madison and the montages in Happy Gilmore then watch Big Daddy and Mr. Deeds, you wonder where all of the fun is. Sure Big Daddy and Mr. Deeds are cute films, but they're very different. You can't expect a person to stay the same forever and stick to one formula (ie Punch Drunk Love), but 50 First Dates was just bad.

![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png) Have you seen the Wedding Singer with Sandler and Berrymore. It is really great. Billy Idol has a bit roll near the end of the movie..I think my fav char.in this film is the little old lady taking sing lessons from Sandler.

haha And she pays him in meatballs! That was on Comedy Central today and I was watching it. I love the beginning when that he/she Arquette guy sings "Do you really want to hurt me?"

Adam Sander is not an actor in the classic sense, he always pays the same role in all of his movies, like Jerry Lewis, or Jim Carey. Lots of Saturday Night Live alums in this same non acting style, I always wondered if they actually just said : lets make a buck of this movie with one punch line, repeated over and over again. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) hey hillstreet have you ever seen The Wedding Singer with Adom Sandler??? I think this is one of his most touching rolls not quite like any of the other movies he has made. If you have not seen it please give it a look see and tell me what you think of his character in the that movie. ;D ;D

I love this movie, though since I'm such a big Adam Sandler fan, it's hard to pick a favorite movie of his. I don't get why so many people talk so hatefully and dismissively about him. If you don't like his comedy style, don't watch his films, but don't make it personal.

Loved Kathy Bates in it ... What a riot ... What a big mouth ...
I also will admit, I have a little personal fetish for Fairuza Balk who played Vicki. Saw her in "The Craft" as was blown away. Loved the black lipstick and nails. Way goth dude ...
