Michael-166's rating
This film deserves a much higher average rating than that to date. I watched it on cable in the first part of 2006; I was so pleased with it I wondered if it had been nominated for Academy Awards in 2004.
The performances of Adam Sandler, Paz Vega, Tea Leoni and Cloris Leachman were all superb. The film was well written and directed - constructed tightly and with an ending that was far from conventional.
It deserved a Best Film and Best Director nomination for its freshness and quality.
The total package is much better and quite different than the standard Hollywood output. I think it occupies a largely vacant niche - a romantic comedy with depth of feeling and many characters that are multi-dimensional.
