Okay, it's really stupid, but it can be somewhat amusing if you watch it with an audience. Sandler is annoying, but he has a certain charm in a really weird sort of way.

5/10.

What can I say? All my friends have called this a "weak movie." However, whenever I watch this I laugh. Maybe there's something wrong with me, but I love Sandler's character. His ignorence and love for everything and everyone made me feel good. I thought Henry Winkler and Kathy Bates were funny as hell in this. That flash back scene with Winkler with the affro just makes me laugh so uncrontrollably. I also found the football games to be pretty exciting.

Ok, so maybe this is a little to over the top, but what can I say? I laugh. 7/10

I must admit that I actually liked this movie. Sure, it wasn't exactly the best movie ever, but I was certainly entertained by it. It made me laugh and there were some completely just out there parts that really had me cracking up. While the film is a bit silly and stupid at times, it guarantees a good time (well, at least for some people). 7/10.

I thought that this movie was horrible. All they did was make fun of this poor guy and insult his momma. I just could not watch after about a half hour. The writers had enough material for a third rate SNL skit, and the same joke repeated over and over was pathetic. Can I give a negative rating????? 0/10 is too generous for this turkey. But that would be insulting to turkeys.
