This is a wonderful film. Fionnula knows her stuff and she can help you know it too. It's been several years since I saw it, but there are some scenes that come to mind so easily and vividly. If you find James Joyce a challenge, as I do, this film makes his work accessible. 10/10!
I had read good reviews but was concerned it was just hype - do I want to waste my time watching usually-obnoxious Adam Sandler (Opera Man, folk singer, Water Boy, ad nauseam) do his witless schtick?
Well, some friends said it was interesting, so...
This is a thought-provoking movie - what IS it about??
Why the truck crash at the beginning, the harmonium, the angelic woman, the "unbreakable" breaking toilet plungers, the pudding, etc? It's something like a dream (the shifting, fantastical colours between scenes are reminiscent of just before wakening in a bright room or moving in and out of consciousness); or perhaps, an after-life experience - the proverbial white light; or something like Pee-wee's Big Adventure - little boy trying to find his way - who better than Adam Sandler?
This isn't to be taken literally - mostly it reminds me of some of my weirder dreams (maybe it's time to re-read Carl Jung's dream symbolism book). Or, are they just putting us on? I don't think so - it's about becoming conscious - seeing and being seen - I'm not sure they succeed, but it was interesting - not one of your laugh-out-loud comedies, but funny, in ways.
I wonder how they're going to take this in France - is Sandler the new existential Jerry Lewis? That I gotta see!

If you're Greek, you'll enjoy this movie. I watched with several Greeks (they understood the Greek dialogue) and they were laughing uproariously throughout; that was fun to see. There were light laughs for me, but the movie was full of cliches - homely girl and cute guy, quirky father, stolid white-bread parents, etc. - and hardly any attempt to delve into what motivates the characters - what exactly is the attraction between the two, for instance? But, overall, it was reasonably enjoyable.
P.S. This movie was shot in Toronto which has a vibrant Greek community (Pappas Grill, one of my favourite restaurants, can be seen in some background shots) - I wish they'd had the balls to actually place it there instead of pretending that it's Chicago - maybe one day.
