As bad as people say this movie is
I still like it better than any Sandler movie that came after. The later movies didn't have the bat-shit crazy spirit of his first movies that I enjoyed so much. Same thing happened with Jim Carrey after Me, Myself and Irene.
They both made a couple of decent movies afterwards, but nothing like the pre-2001 movies that for my personal tastes in comedy were so gut bustingly funny.
