when you have a movie with rob schneider playing a gay priest, i think it's a safe bet that you can pretty much throw a generous cultural worldview out the window.

Repetative.

There's always one scene in his movies that will crack me up to no end, but it's not worth sitting through the rest of it.

Although the "Mr. Smith" movie cracked me up a lot.


He has great taste in music though.

Just knowing it was gay for pay, would make it worth it. Come on, you know if there was a tape floating around, you'd be a little curious.

He is cute. I've seen his stand up and it's pretty funny.

i saw punch drunk love and it was kind of awkward. adam sandler's not ready to go legit and do the "robin williams oscar scene" thing. i think he has to get old first to get away with that.

my mom made me take her to see "anger management" and i was embarrassed to be seen walking out of the theater afterwards. i'd rather have my photo taken walking out of a donkey show.

'big daddy' and 'the wedding singer' are decent. 'spanglish' is good, but it's not a stupid comedy the way most of his are. i love 'punch-drunk love' but it's probably becaus i love pt anderson, the director (boogie nights, magnolia)

Actually, I enjoyed Wedding Singer and Big Daddy was, well, ok in a watchable with my parents on cable in the afternoon kinda way.
I really didn't care for spanglish and I thought Punch Drunk Love just didn't pull off what it wanted to.

i just loath adam sandler, thats enough for me to NEVER watch this movie.

unfunny

as a story, it's kind of lacking, particularly when you compare it to boogie and magnolia. it was interesting, but not something i would sit through more than the two times i saw it. i still think it was a response to all the critics who compalined about the 3 hour length of boogie and mag, and said it was impossible for him to do a simple one storyline 90 minute movie.

his new one should be good. it has daniel day-lewis.

Oh my God. I love what's-his-face, the chubby guy. I find him hot too!!!

I have to agree that I was kinda dissapointed by the trailer. The jokes were done before. I do like the fact that Adam's movies are very gay friendly. I hope this movie continues that tradition.

Boys? Who get married? Now I've heard it all!

sounds funny


actualy i like both of them okay, maybe it's not what it seems

I had totally forgotten the date. Thanks for the heads up.

offensive

again, withholding judgement until i see it, however...

i think the timing of it is what bothers me the most. if sandler is as gay-positive as he seems to come across, then he should know we are kind of in the middle of fighting for equality of marriage law right now. we don't need a big stupid comedy playing sexuality and gay marriage for laughs and giving people what will probably be a lot their first opinions of what a gay marriage is. (i mean seriously, name me one major movie that has a believable gay marriage)

but again, who knows? the fact that i like any adam sandler movie continues to shock me.



we'll see what it is like. i am hopeful.

I hope and pray that underneath all the tasteless jokes and stereotyped portrayals of homsexuals, Sandler ultimately shows that gay couples go through the same types of relationship issues as anyone else, and that underneath all the "differences" there's a cord of commonality we all share. I hope he pulls off some of what Jack Black pulled off with Gweneth paltrow in that movie about a shallow guy falling for a fat woman.

America has taken way too many steps backwards in the last 6 years--I would hate to see the pop "social consciousness" digress further.

Imago said:

i'm hopeful. while i generally don't care for most of his movies, they've never really offended me.



i'm in for a ticket.

I am sooooo sorry, but I laughed my ass off at this: http://playlist.yahoo.com...40&qth=400





I'm sorry.

Imago said:

Going by that it doesn't really look offensive to me...or really all that funny.

But I'll probably rent it or d/l it.

It reminds me of when I was in the military and my friend Mark had a best friend who was a lesbian. Because he didn't drink, she would always make him her DD, and he would drive her to a lesbian bar named the Cherokee.

He would always drag my ass to along with him so I could be his "boyfriend" in case he got approached by another man

I kept telling him, "Do you really think that if you told a man who offered you a drink that you were straight, that he would keep persuing you?"

I mean, he went through the trouble of dragging my ass to a lesbian bar--and I *HATE* lesbian bars (no offense gay ladies, but gay men's bars are uber awesome compared to your bars--at least here in Tampa).

The funny thing is that I was always the one approached.
