I may not have bothered to review this movie but reading the vast amount of bad reviews compelled me to try and even out the one-sided perception portrayed here. If you expect an Adam Sandler comedy then you'll be shocked and surprised, as if you'd ordered a big mac only to be presented with a gourmet meal. This is an excellent piece of work with a great script and great acting. It is compelling to watch and never boring, unless you were expecting a stupid one-dimensional gagfest. I predict a cult following will develop as this movie contains uniformly terrific script and performances from an outstanding ensemble cast. There are also many impressive cameos from the great and the good of both comedy and acting worlds. If you want The Waterboy or the 40 Year Old Virgin then look elsewhere, but if you liked Knocked Up and The Good Girl you'll love this as it is smart and funny as well as engaging and highly entertaining.
