Negative Positive
Title: Pathetic
Review: Adam Sandler does a good job of playing a deeply repressed individual who is prone to bouts of violence and crying jags. Unfortunately, this is not funny. The voluptuous Emily Watson portrays a seemingly nice and normal woman who is inexplicably attracted to this pathetically pathetic individual. (see the recurring theme here?)The filmmakers seem to be shooting for some kind of Coen-esque story line, but what one gets is a confused mish-mash of scenes that never really come together, yet nevertheless culminate in a Hollywood ending that tells us "Since he's found love, all the neuroses, denial and depression he's spent a lifetime accumulating will now magically go away".Who really cares, anyway?I want my $ and two hours back.
Is the review positive or negative?
