Crazy Credits
During the closing credits, flashes of the character whereabouts were explained. When they explain Nicky's mom, (Reese Witherspoon) a picture still of her is shown saying "Mom immediately fell in love with her new aerobics instructor... Chris Farley." Giving a tribute to Chris who died 3 years before the film in 1997. The aerobics reference is referring to his classic skit on SNL that will always be hilariously remembered. Adam and the rest of the SNL gang were great friends with Farley. See more »
Alternate Versions
In the FOX 2004 presentation, many things were edited. All references to Popeye's are cut, so "Popeye's Chicken is fucking awesome" becomes "Chicken is kickin'". "Hitler's ass" becomes "Hitler's rear", "The sh*t has hit the fan." becomes "It has hit the fan". A deleted scene of the peeper becoming bait and being eaten by a fish was also added. The asking of the gatekeeper whether there were boobs on his head was cut out, and the Coke/Pepsi transformation was partially cut out. See more »
It's almost as if the less you expect from a movie, the less you get. One certainly wouldn't expect to be enlightened and enriched by an Adam Sandler movie, but this one wasn't even dumb fun. Basically, if you have ever only seen five minutes of any film from his back catalogue, you have seen it all.
The jokes are overdone, hammy and unfunny; the portrayal of Todd (Nicky's histrionic, fat flat-mate) was pretty homophobic -- where is the gay mafia when you need them? And Sandler doesn't stop at being childish and crass, he has to be naff as well (probably to appeal to the date-movie market) and throw in a good measure of sickly romance.
The long list of cameos (from Dangerfield to Witherspoon) only demonstrates how much weight this type of junk pulls in Hollywood -- a deeply depressing thought.
