(43,608 posts)It featured some actors who I've liked in various past projects (Adam Sandler, David Spade, Chris Rock, Kevin James, etc.), but this was definitely not one of them.
No real plot whatsoever. That would be forgivable if the humor and jokes were funny....but they weren't.
The lack of any sort of logic or sensible plot was absolutely astounding.
Everything in the movie was supposed to take place in the course of a day, but none of it was believable. None of it.
For example, at one point in the movie Adam Sandler's kid breaks his arm. Normally that would be a multiple day hospital stay. I believe he's out within a half hour, and the movie acts like it never happens.
The rest of the movie meanders aimlessly--they're jumping off a cliff into a quarry, they're wandering around Kmart, David Spade gets stuck in a giant tire, they're at a drive in movie theater, AND NONE OF IT ACTUALLY CONSTITUTES ANY SORT OF PLOT.
The "climax" of the film, to the extent it exists, is an elaborate 80s themed costume party that everyone in the town gets invited to. This was all planned out in the course of a couple of hours, at most.
So somehow we are supposed to believe that not only did hundreds of people in this town all get wind of a party that evening, that the party was elaborate planned out with food, decorations, and entertainment from the J Giles Band, but that everyone in the town also had elaborate costumes on hand for every celebrity from the 80s that you could possibly imagine.
It truly is an astonishingly bad movie. Almost brilliant in how terrible it is.
