Aggressively unfunny and full of unlikable characters. Adam Sandler is just a loser, the women are bitches, all the men are disgusting. The movie admits that it has 'zero budget' in Adam Sandler's own words. I could forgive that if I laughed. Except I didn't.

One of the worst movies I have ever seen. It is so not Sandler and it is so not good!! Never see this movie, even if you have a chance to see it for free or buy the DVD for .05. It is that bad.
