"Sandler plays it ever-so-slightly more grown-up than usual as Michael Newman, a successful architect married to Kate Beckinsale with two kids. Like every movie father, he works too much, but mostly his family understands. Stressed to a near-breaking point and dependent on junk food — he works for David Hasselhoff, which would make you feel inadequate too — Michael periodically lashes out with trademark Sandler-style immature outbursts, often directed at children. W.C. Fields was Mary Poppins compared to Michael, who deliberately runs over the neighbor kid's robot dog and later gets the kid in trouble by accusing him of smoking cigars. In real life, such behavior would be abhorrent, but onscreen it's just wrong enough to be funny."

Glad to see that review. I generally like Adam Sandler, and was hoping this one would be worth seeing. Sounds like it is.
