Good 3.0

Adam Sandler wasn’t his best in this movie, and definitley doesn’t work well with Seth Rogen.

OK 2.5

The original concept of the movie was pretty good, but adding a whole other hour was a huge mistake.

Sordid 3.2

Very sexual content throughout, and even a scene of sex.

Glib 1.3

A lot of how the characters acted would not be like that in real life.

Regarding izzio’s Review
I’d have to disagree, Sandler and Rogen had very good comedic chemistry. However, I agree on the film being too long. I thought they could’ve cut it down a little bit.
