It absolutely SUCKED !!! Way too long. If you go thinking this is a rom-com movie be advised it IS NOT. This COULD have been a good movie but it fails miserably. BTW, for what it's worth the theater was literally filled with only men. My wife was the only woman in the theater. Tons of T & A but that does not a great movie make. Don't waste 2 hours and 20 minutes of your valuable time.

As always, the snobby critics blast films like this that they deem are made for we unwashed masses. Total BS. This is an absolutely wonderful film with great, human performances. I think this is one of Streep's most human and likable performances. Baldwin is great. Martin plays his parts exactly as it should be. Most heartwarming and real quote from Baldwin when the family is having dinner together: " Mommy is such a great cook" . Warms my heart every time I watch it. If you haven't seen this movie make sure you do. Don't expect Citizen Kane, just expect to have your heart warmed and enjoy yourself. Don't miss viewing.

I THINK THIS MOVIE IS A GREAT ACHIEVEMENT FOR SANDLER AND THE MAKERS OF IT. I HAVE SEEN SOME NATIONAL REVIEWS THAT TOTALLY MISCHARACTERIZE THE NATURE OF THIS MOVIE. THEY ACCUSE IT OF STEREOTYPING THE AFRICAN AMERICANS IN THE MOVIE AS THUG LIKE HIPSTERS AND ANTAGONISTS. THEY ARE NEITHER THUG LIKE NOR ANTAGONISTS AT ALL, THEY ARE SANDLER'S CUSTOMERS, CENTRAL TO THE PLOT, AND THAT'S ALL I CAN SAY WITHOUT BEING A SPOILER. THERE ARE ANTAGONISTS BUT THEY ARE NOT GRANETT AND HIS CREW. SOME THINK THE TITLE IS SOME CRUDE ETHNIC JOKE ABOUT CIRCUMCISION. NO IT ISN'T . AGAIN, I CANNOT ELABORATE FURTHER LEST I BE A SPOILER. THIS IS A VERY WELL DONE PORTRAYAL OF A SELF CENTERED OUT OF CONTROL GAMBLER WHO IS A JEWELER FOR A LIVING. THE CAST IS GREAT. THE SCREENPLAY IS GREAT. SANDLER IS GREAT. SO GREAT IN FACT THAT NOT ONCE WAS I REMINDED OF ANY MOVIE OR CHARACTER THAT SANDLER HAS DONE IN THE PAST. PERHAPS THE NAYSAYERS ARE DISSAPOINTED THAT THIS IS NOT A COMEDY OR THAT SANDLER DID NOT RESORT TO HIS OLD SHTICK. I, FOR ONE, AM GLAD HE DID NOT. GREAT MOVIE, BE SURE TO SEE IT. BRAVO ADAM SANDLER.
