I have to say that the first review is completely unfair. I have just been to see this movie, and I really enjoyed it. I have to admit, I only went to see the former child stars singing at the end, and wasn't expecting much, because in general anything to do with Adam Sandler is appalling. David Spade manages to bring actual sensitivity to some issues which do face children, and adults alike. He manages to take an awful character, and turn him into a nice person. Yes, I realise that it's the aim of the movie, and even that it's been done before, but this movie succeeds where others have failed so badly, because by the end, you really do empathise with the character. There wasn't too much inappropriate humour, and it's a film I would be confident that children and adults alike could enjoy, whether they knew the uncredited stars or not. I really would check it out, maybe not if you like normal Adam Sandler style pap, but if you just want a feel good comedy, with some easy laughs, and a catchy tune at the end, this is it. Don't think too much into the story line, that isn't what movies like this are about!

Olive Juice

why not to see Olive Juice!
7 January 2002
Although I am a great lover of all films romance, Olive Juice tested my patience a little bit. The sound quality and picture quality were not great (a little bit too grainy). The actors, a mostly unknown cast obviously didn't have anything to live up to, and I'm glad, because they didn't live up to any expectations at all! Leighanne Littrell was relying on her looks to get the movie going, as she showed no charisma on screen. The plot was thin at best, at worst, totally non existent. I think everyone should see it, so that I can be proved wrong, but it's definitely not the film for me!
