No more Leslie Mann please.


Seriously, I'm glad he loves his wife, but she's not up to playing more than a small supporting character. Either get a really pretty girl or a really funy one -- stop trying to go halvsies.

I would not even call it halvsie...she's a total zero. She's not pretty, not funny, not talented...she's just worthless.

Agree...she's half funny, half-pretty...all-in-all, bland. What a boring movie!

she cant act. her dialogue with adam when they were sitting in his living room, was tortuous. i wanted to slit my wrist from their terrible acting

More more more Leslie Mann please

I disagree. I find Leslie both very beautiful and also a very funny comedic actress.

Even though on paper it's nepotism that she's in all her husband's movies, I actually feel like she would be perfect casting even if that wasn't the case. She does great.

And I'm a straight female so there's no investment or horniness driving my opinion. I find the woman really funny and talented.

I found her and the whole segment with her kids tedious.

I like Leslie Mann. I think it's nice to see more realistic women in film. She was not meant to be a 'really funny' woman in this film, nor a 'really pretty' woman. I think you need to step outside into the real world and meet some real women and then come back to this discussion about Leslie Mann.

Besides, Adam Sandler? Perfectly average male. Why should Sandler's ex be a smoking and stunning model type?

reply

I'm okay with her as an actress, but I really didn't like her character in this film. She seemed irresponsible and stupid.
