Okay in a pinch
PostedJuly 6, 2010

from New York
One reason I went to this movie was because it was oppressivly hot outside and my home air conditioner was not working too well. So, going inside a cool theatre was a blessing. In addition, I wanted to watch something "escapist" because I did not feel like seeing something which would , surround me with a lot of noisy kids,(think Twilight).
All in all, the movie was okay. The plot was not especially unique, and some of the acting was a bit overdone. Salma Hayeck was beautiful to look at, but her character was a little hard to believe, and really out of place. In addition, Adam Sandler as her husbsnd just seemed to be a mismatch. I also felt the depiction of the Hayek/Sandler children a bit over done.
The breast feeding mother character was simply over done., not credible,and tasteless. David Spade was not believable, and the Rob Scheidner character totally unbelievable and tasteless. Surprisingly, Chris Rock was a little subdued, and also mismatched for his part.
In addition, all the support actors were trite sterotypes, and more to be pitied rather than scorned.
In short, the movie was just one long joke, with a few funny moments. It is worth viewing in a pinch, however, only with your tongue in cheek.
If you wait for the DVD you won't feel as though you missed a lot.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
