2. The Content
When a film uses child molestation as its foundation, you can already tell its going to get bad. This was the case with this Adam Sandler comedy. Reading the plot synopsis for the film, it's easy to see how this could easily turn off many of Sandler's older fans. Nobody is interested to see Adam's character reconnect with a son that he conceived with his teacher 30 years ago. Nobody is interested to see the disgusting jokes that cover topics like genitals, sex, and masturbation. For one reason or another, these types of jokes STILL might have appealed to the teen demographic one way or another. However, the R rating kept them this time around from flocking into theaters to see the film. And for those who were left, well, let's just say nothing about this film caught a lot of our attention. Now don't get me wrong, I actually enjoyed some of Sandler's films. Films like Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison are films that I still watch every now and then. In some ways, Adam Sandler can be considered the "George Lucas" of comedy flicks. While he did indeed bring about some of comedy's brightest moments, nowadays he is a movie maker who should just follow in George's footsteps. And for those of you who don't know, George Lucas announced his retirement a few days ago.
