A great film starring Adam Sandler and Emily Watson, a two - disc dvd which probably should have been 1 disc but hey what can you do

If you want to know what the movie is about there are alot of ways people have described the plot so I'll explain it my way, Adam Sandler plays a character Barry Egan who is constantly bothered by his 7 sisters and runs his own business, he meets this girl Emily Watson who later on we find out only wanted to meet him in the first place, they fall in love he's kinda crazy sometimes throughout and I wont tell you much more about the story just enough not to ruin it, oh and by the way he wears the exact same suit throughout the whole movie

Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson

The special features are some deleted scenes, a featurette that is kind of weird and some weird Scopitones

Overall this is a great film and well worth a rent or buy

If I were to rate it i'd say 9 out of 10 on the movie quality and overall greatness

On dvd features it get's a 2 but that's alright

This was a great little movie, really liked it. It seemed weird in places, but that's part of its charm. I do think Sandler should do more serious acting in future.

Little story - when I went to New Yourk with my ex, we ended up going to visit the statue of liberty with the owner of the actual warehouse that was used in the movie!!LOL! He owned the car garage there...just thought I'd mention it!!

Great flick, almost went unnoticed, but you gotta check it out!

I would have never seen it if I hadn't liked Adam Sandler, though I will admit now the score would go down to 7 out of 10 after I've seen the film a couple more times.

I was a little too generous, there are no great films that deserve a 9.
