It was a very hyped movie because we are talking Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Kevin James, David Spade, Rob Schnieder and the ever impressive Salma Hayek. Man, I was pumped!! In fact, I thought it was going to be gross, you know full of guy jokes, very Adam Sandler but I got a taste of what would happen when jokers grew up. They get BORING! I am a huge Adam Sandler fan, a guy's guy. Movies like Waterboy, The Zohan, Happy Gilmore where it's very slapstick and GROSS. Here we see a transition of that going into Old-Farthood!
I can understand since these guys have kids and they wanna be good role models for their family and all that psychological bull-crap (pardon my German). It's pretty much the same route that Eddie Murphy took. Now he is doing Disney cartoon/movie for goodness. He is "Mr. Fuck-you man" for Pete's sake!
So we get a very docile family comedy. There are some moments but it's all about being together and rediscovering the family life and love and togetherness and friendship and realizing what's important all the way in Sugar Sweetness Hell! Makes you wanna jump off the Empire State Building and hope to catch your eyelid on a nail!!
Now, it wasn't a total lost. Salma Hayek provided the sexiness and there were some comedy, just don't get your hopes to high up. So if you are into Jim Carrey, the Adam Sandler of old, Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock or Robin Williams, this movie is going to bum you out. You will feel like you just took a sedative. So calm down, take the excitement down a couple of notches. Have a nice cup of hot tea next to you and some granola bars. Now you are ready.
