I dont understand the good reviews, this is one of the worst movies of adam sandler, creepy, stupid, without anything to say to the audience

I love this movie! I've watched it like 3 times in the last two days. I am a little bias because I've always love Adam Sandler (although Jack and Jill and That's my Boy were not great), but I still think I would love it anyway. It's funny, the setting is beautiful and it's heartwarming to the point that it actually made me cry a little. I highly recommend it!

Definitely worth the time to watch it. These two have done a few movies together and they always have good chemistry. Sure, it's formulaic. But, they're both seasoned actors, and able to be convincingly relatable. The usual Sandler suspects populate the cast, along with a few surprises. I watched this on HBO, and was interrupted a half hour into it. I decided to watch it all the way through, from the beginning, later in the night. Glad I did.

It was an enjoyable film with fantastic concepts, and a better comedy than what you see commonly nowadays. The ridiculous and hilarious chemistry between Sandler's and Barrymore's characters was astounding; even more, Barrymore perfectly delivers the character of a troubled mother. Although the movie was fairly entertaining, it was unnecessarily inappropriate at times that almost ruins the hilarity of the situation that the two families are in. For example, the useless sexualisation of Ginger, unwanted hyper-sexuality of the elder son, and the rather crude sex-innuendo's in between scenes throughout the movie. It wasn't that they weren't funny, but that they were unnecessary considering the context and the concept of the movie. Some worth watching scenes are definitely in there: Thorne's attempt at a boyish muse (her basketball scene was a killer), amazing shots of the beautiful sceneries, the fantastic African dancer's being everyone's favourite, Barrymore's parachute trip, Nickens in general, etc. Overall, a good comedy by Frank Coraci!
