7/10
A really, really funny movie. One of Sandler's best movie in recent years. Very much like Big Daddy, but funnier. I say B+

"My tolerance level is here, if it goes up to here I'm selling you out and leaving." Danny (Sandler) has a unique way to meet women, he uses a wedding ring. After a gorgeous woman named Palmer finds out his trick she threatens to leave unless Danny introduces her to his evil soon-to-be ex-wife. After getting Katherine (Aniston) to go along with it they all end up in Hawaii where things get complicated. After movies like "Bedtime Stories" and "Click" it seemed like Sandler was starting to move away from what makes him funny. "Grown-ups" was good, but that seemed more like friends having fun then a movie. This movie is closer to the humor in "Big Daddy" then any other movie he has done recently. While still a pretty soft PG13 Sandler, this movie is actually very, very funny. Nowhere near the days of "Happy Gilmore" or "Billy Madison", Sandler is slowly trying to capture his younger days, and with this and "Grown-ups" he is getting close. The chemistry between Sandler and Aniston is perfect and I would not be surprised to see them in more movies together. Very, very entertaining and funny. A good laid back comedy that holds the funny all the way through, unlike movies like "The Dilemma" which is funny, but turns serious at the end. Overall a very funny movie that will not disappoint. I give it a B+.

Would I watch again? - Yes, I sure would.

*Also try - Grown-ups & Big Daddy
