I have always said that comedy actors can make the best dramatic actors. If you were looking for a silly comedy then you've come to the wrong place. But if you want a movie that makes you think and wonder then you should watch this movie. Adam Sandler takes us on a trip through his past and present and through the good and the bad of his marriage with the help of someone he never expected. It seems a little like Castaway where the lone character finds a friend who helps him deal with his loneliness and carries him to his salvation. It is up to you to decide whether what you've seen is real, imaginary or a little of both.

Even though the message of this movie is overcoming mixed ethnicities and religions, it excessively labels and divides at every turn to the point of being a racist attack on anything that is not black. The music was racist garbage and was extremely offensive as was the unnecessary use of the N word in the characters speech. It is curious black people are so offended by the N word yet use it liberally in every sentence they speak. The characters use of African-American Vernacular was particularly off-putting to the point where I felt like turning the movie off. I felt that this movie was only for a small select group and not for the consumption of the general public. Watch Black or White with Kevin Costner instead.

I guess Mike Myers wasn't available. To bad because he knows how to pronounce Toronto. Movie was okay, a couple of laughs. Not Woody's best but when you are working with someone who sucks as much as Kevin Hart does, what can you do.
