Awful
26 March 2008
This movie was terrible. Absolutely terrible. One stereotype after another. The whole opening sequence (the one with the twins) I kept thinking it was a dream sequence or something, but no. It was just some horny screen writer living out his pubescent fantasies. How pathetic.

Sandler was the oh-so-bursting-with-testosterone-manly fire fighter banging one hot chick after another, James the clumsy-can't-cook-yet-endearing-widowed father just wanting to take care of his kid. How heart breaking. I turned this movie off after about five or ten minutes, simply because this was about the most homophobic garbage I have ever seen. Gay jokes can be funny, but building an entire movie around how yucky homosexuality is doesn't really sound like the 21st century to me.

Admittedly, I didn't watch the entire movie. But let me guess what happens: I bet there's scene where they're forced to kiss each other, just to show how yucky it is being gay. I can picture the two doing the lemon-face (eyes and mouth pinched shut) closing in on each other with trembling lips.

Sandler the man whore meets Jessica Biel, who doesn't fall for him at first, but in the end he learns what true love is all about, and they live happily ever after.

James gets to keep his kid, and they live happily ever after.

Ving Rhames, the quiet, scary and manliest fire fighter of them all reveals that he is gay, everyone hugs, shares a good laugh and live happily ever after.

Save your money and your time. For me, this was ten minutes of my life that I'll never get back again.
