Has anyone else seen this?

Firstly it's awful, but not as awful as I thought it would be. Still that does not make it worth seeing.

Yes, it trades in stereotypes e.g. gay men like camping it up. Personally I suspect the majority do but not all gay men. Some like blokey things and are masculine but this was barely shown. Some good cameos from Steve Bushemi, Dan Ackroyd, Richard Chamberlain, Lance Bass from *NSync, and Ving Rames as a gay man struggling to come out can't save this film.

However on the plus side it was good to see Chuck (Adam Sandler) and Larry (That bloke in Hitch and King of Queens) fight homophobic prejudice despite being straight. However it was a bit racist.
 
I saw this awhile back at a personal screening :rolleyes:, and while it was quite bad and a lot like strange bedfellows (bloke from croc dundee) I have seen worse lol, thou seeing Jessica biel dressed skimply made the movie more enjoyable :D
 
Watched it online a while back (been out in america for a while now,) and i too thought it was awful, i quite like Adam Sandler (Waterboy)

Awful, awful film! Awful! Cant stress how awful it is.

It is bloody awful!

!AWFUL!
 
Yeah it's pretty badly written, and all over the place morally- I'm no prude but the bits at the start wuth Sandler as a womaniser look like they were written by an over-excited 13year old boy.
 
That's what I thought, the twins and the women and the doctor etc. Didn't the people who wrote wine film Sideways write this? It wasn't homophobic as it could have been, which is a plus, but meant that it would not have appealed to the youth stra8ght male marktet who liked Knocked Up or Superbad.
 
Dont judge it on our reviews, you might be missing out on something you like, everyone can like a different thing, right?

Why not give it a try anyway? You might enjoy it.
 
it's awful and I think, arguably homophobic. some of the humour, very much feels like 10 year old humour but done with zero charm. However the 1 + for moi was the sight of Jessica Biel throughout the film. I am thinking Catwoman and Underwear. saucepot!
 
Why does someone as talented as Adam Sandler make all these stupid comedys, his best comedys have both starred Drew Barrymore, Wedding Singer and 50 First Dates, honestly after making Reign Over Me , I'm not sure how he can go to make stupid sounding movies like this
 
I doubt they were deliberately being racist, but it is unbelievable they did the "chinaman" bit for the minister, it looks so dated and crap. Schneider must be the worst comedian America has ever produced.

You could equally say that it's misogynistic in it's portrayal of women. But at the end of the day, I'd rather just say it's incredibly unfunny and leave it to rot.
 
Damn!

There must be something wrong with me, but whenever I see Sandler in adverts for this film, I find him strangely attractive :eek::o

I think it's that accent.

*Drools*
