The Great Gatsby


This movie is pretty similar to the book "The Great Gatsby". Character parallels are needless to point out they are so similar. And when I checked the imdb questions and saw that someone had asked if this was based on a book, I was shocked to see it was just Judd Apatow's creation.

Obviously the ending is different and if anything it's a loose similarity but still, I was wondering if anyone else saw this. The moment it really got me was when Sandler tells Mann to tell her husband that she loved Sandler more. Very Gatsby-Daisy-Tom.


End Scene.

I'm almost certain I've read that it was supposed to be a retelling of the Gatsby story. Not exactly an adaption of the book though just using the story like the Lion King/Hamlet and 10 Things I Hate About You/Taming of the Shrew relationship

What you just read was probably a bit of a rant. Sorry
