have seen in years. I think that Jeff has a hard time with
this type of humor, becuase of its off color nature. I
think Jeff may want to find a different line of work if he
can't learn to be objective. It seems that all of my
favorite movies end up with horrible reviews from him. Who
knows, maybe I'm just twisted, but I know I'm not in the
minority...

men, as the quality of humour of this poor excuse for a
movie rarely rises above a locker room standard. Are Dan
Marino and Rodney Dangerfield so desperately poor that they
have to degrade themselves by being a part of this crude
debacle? It's a good thing that Adam Sandler doesn't have
to submit to drug test during the production of this film,
because he would surely fail!
recent production, but if I'm not mistakened, MOST of his
movies were given bad reviews from anywhere imaginable. Yet
look what they've turned out to be, look at all the Adam
Sandler fans that love any and all things he does. When
face-to-face with the more "traditional guidelines" for
movie ratings, Sandler may not fulfill certain requirements
to make the grade, so to speak. However, I happen to think
that a "good movie" is based on what the viewers thought of
it, not what some stiff in a dress shirt thinks because
he "just doesn't get" someone's movies. It's unfortunate
that some don't comprehend the comedic talent of Adam
Sandler, as it is also unfortunate that many turn him away
from the content he chooses to portray through his humor. I
personally laughed all throughout Little Nicky and it
doesn't make me less of a person because I did. There are
plenty of movies out there that many people love and many
people hate. Look at Titanic, once it hit theatres people
were touched--once it was heard about everywhere people
grew sick of it. The bottom line is that the viewers decide
what is good and what isn't, not the opinion of a single
person. Basically, I and many others enjoyed Little Nicky
for it satisfies my type of humor, and once again I
apologize for those of you who are acustomed to Seinfeld's
humor. And I would like to wish Adam Sandler a continually
productive career.
certain sense of humor to like Adam Sandler. Of course
some people aren't going to like it. The problem with
movie critics is, I'm guessing about 19 out of 20 or so
probably didn't graduate high school because they're pretty
stupid. They're professional complainers that get paid to
bitch. I think more sites should focus on fans rating
movies. The only thing is, in order to say, "Hey this
movie was awesome," you also have to say what you disliked
about the movie... and go into detail. We need to do away
with these complainers that wake up on the wrong side of
the bed. Also, let's say the movie got 2 stars. If the
reviewer just had sex or won the lottery, there's more of a
chance it would have gotten 3 stars. If the reviewer got 3
hours of sleep, there's more of a chance he or she will be
turned off by the movie. Negativity spreads negativity.
If everything I wrote doesn't make any sense to you, or you
don't believe me, take a different movie or album or
whatever that YOU thought was 4 stars and got 1 star and
make up your own mind.
