Title: Not Sandler's worst but still awfully stupid
Review: This movie is just a hack job; a bunch of well-known actors & actresses going through the motions to collect a paycheck. Of course, who can blame them? They were handed a hack script that was just paint by the numbers --- introduce your good guys & your villains, and then the characters with mixed a agenda, but who have a change of heart at the end. Make sure the bad guys and the stuffed shirts get their comeuppance, blah blah blah.This movie was dull and predictable, and just not funny AT ALL. A movie where a man smashing another man's frostbitten foot with a fire poker passes for humor is just simply wretched fare. I couldn't get it out of the VCR fast enough.That having been said --- unfortunately --- this is far from Sandler's worst work, and as such, deserves a second star for the (cough) lofty heights it has reached.
