Title: Arty pretensions do not make art...
Review: This film is a pretentious mess. It is full of obscure arty little distractions that make no sense and get no explanation as to their relevance to the plot. Adam Sandler is his usual terrible self; he's not funny in comedies, nor is he convincing in a 'drama', if that's what you can call this. Even the pace, the feel, and the warmth of the film changes abruptly from scene to scene as though the director couldn't make up his mind what kind of film he was making. What he ended up making is one of the worst films I've ever seen.
