---|---|---|---|
United States | Chicago Reader | "This comic fantasy is the best vehicle he's (Sandler) ever had, a high-concept goof that gradually darkens into an emotional nightmare reminiscent of Capra" | POS |
United States | The Hollywood Reporter | "The movie is gag-filled, as you would expect of a Sandler movie, but the filmmakers realize they have hit upon an idea that is both clever and good2 | POS |
United States | Boston Globe | "If it doesn't quite represent the new, improved Adam Sandler, it shows him almost desperately trying to figure out who that might be" | NEU |
United Kingdom | Empire | "Another 'nice' Sandler comedy that works, thanks to some smart and genuinely moving ideas" | POS |
