I thought it was really, really good, one of the best comedies I've ever seen. Judd Apatow (Knocked Up, The 40 Year Old Virgin) wrote and directed it and I'm a huge fan of his. It was great to see Adam Sandler play an entirely different character, rather than the loud, obnoxious, immature man-child who punches people in the face like in all his other movies. He also had a great performance as a dying comedian whose life never turned out the way he had wanted, leading to his unfulfilled and depressed nature. This lead to the movie being very serious and equally funny.

On top of all that, the movie was really, really funny. Sandler, Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, and even the brief appearance of Eminem were all hysterical, and some of the stand-up bits were pretty good too. It was overall a great movie and one I plan on seeing again, which doesn't happen with me often. I've never laughed so much in a movie theater in years, and I really suggest that you see it if you haven't already.

I actualy felt the movie was a bit more of two dramas glued together than a comedy, but some parts made me laugh really hard. Overall, I thought it was alright.

Yeah, it's definitely more drama than comedy. The comedy that was in there was great though. There should be a spin-off movie of that "yo teach" show lol. Anywho, it's a good movie n I'd recommend it, just don't expect non-stop funny because there's tons of super cereal moments (drama).

I haven't seen Adam Stanler play an obnoxious man-child role in years... I was planning on skipping this movie since Seth Rogen was in it, but since it sounds like it's not supposed to be funny anyways, I think I'll give it a chance. Thanks TC. ^^

Sandler can actually be a very good actor (I will see this movie Friday, so I can't comment on this one) -I really liked him in the movie (forgot the title) with Cheadle where his family died in 9/11

I thought it was one of the worst movies of the year.

It was tedious, unfunny, and taught all the wrong lessons. I wouldn't recommend this movie to my worst enemy.

Adam Sandler needs to do us all a favor and stop acting, because the magic is dead.

I liked it. It was more drama than comedy, but that doesn't make it bad. Many parts were pretty funny too.
