I used to be a fan of Adam Sandler, way back when his comedy was dumb but sweet and humoured none the less. This was a long time ago though, it's been a while since, The Wedding Singer, Big Daddy, 50 First Dates etc. (Obviously Punch Drunk Love is good, but he had no writing credit there). Alexander Payne has been credited with the screenplay but we must all know he did not has full control here. Adam Sandler admitted in an interview that the script was originally for another type of Movie and he tweaked it to suit his style of comedy, which in this case was more homophobic than ironic. It does sometimes annoy me that Adam Sandler gets to do whatever film he wants these days because its a guaranteed sell. He can do better if he gave a dam.
