“This is a pretty good romantic comedy with silly bits tossed in (like the squeaky toy bear). This is the first Sandler performance Iu0026#39;ve really liked a lot, and while Nicholson is really just tossing it off, letu0026#39;s face it, his throwaways are frequently better than the best from most other actors. Here the match – Sandler at his most restrained, Nicholson getting sloppy – works very well, as each becomes a complement to the other, which is wholly in keeping with the characters and their situation. The supporting cast is also doing very well. And the film is well-made: possibly even too much so, as for instance with the cinematography, which is of a high quality that would suit a heavy dramatic film.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere are definitely some laugh-out-loud high moments along the way, and very few low moments. Not a great movie, but definitely a movie you can spend an evening with and think it money well-spent.”
