This is the movie that never ends......(spoilers)

I just watched this movie for the first time and became rather bored after about 30 minutes into the film. The inclusion of all the different comedians coming to provide support for Adam Sandler's character made things a little more interesting, but not for long. In the end I was rather disappointed that Adam Sandler's character didn't die. I understand it's supposed to be about him getting a second chance, but I think his character deserved to die. It would have made the movie much shorter and would've been slightly more realistic I think.

I realize miracles happen every day and some people beat a disease, but the fact that his character just "happened" to be in the 8% of people who live was lame.

Central to Unit 27. Jean-Claude Van Damme's robbing a post office. I need back-up.

Yeah, I came into this movie NOT knowing how long it was. I enjoyed the joke about Jewish people not liking to be on lists (talking about JDate).

Then later when this movie kept on going ON and ON I asked my friend, "What is this movie as long as Shindler's List? ROFL, for Pete's sake!"

Way too long, should've been called The Neverending Story!

I enjoy the 90 minute film at the begining of this film. After George talks to Eminem, and decides all he wants to do is talk to his lost love, his arc is done, the film is done.

After that, it's just Apatow whoring his wife and kids on screen for another hour or so.

"After that, it's just Apatow whoring his wife and kids on screen for another hour or so"

Yeah, I agree. Apatow needs to stop putting his family in his movies, just like Tim Burton and his girlfriend.

This whole film is one big ego trip from Apatow. He needs to stick to producing.
