Depressed Sandler is a good actor

Sandler is very good in this. I feel like PT is just trying to show how artistic and visionary he can be. He does a good job with Sandler's character but more depth in his surroundings and memorable and quirky dialogue would have helped blend the plot and the style. The pudding subplot does a good job of that but this is less of a story and more of an artistic thought. But a good artistic thought with not enough depth. I always have to give kudos to a romantic comedy that isn't formulaic and this is the furthest thing imaginable from formulaic.
