Title: About as charming as a toothache
Review: So I guess Sandler bought the rights to Capra's classic and immediately cast himself in the starring role. First big mistake. Sandler is as winning a protagonist as Weird Al would be in "It's a Wonderful Life." He's no Gary Cooper. I wonder if he even watched the original.And no, Winona is no Jean Arthur.The original depression-era rags-to-riches classic is here reduced to an annoying "I'll show you" vehicle to make Sandler's fans cheer but the rest of us to ask, "What were they thinking?"
