Movie Review

Grade: B+ Audiences don't like Adam Sandler when he's serious. It's the sad fate of a man whose box office triumphs have all been idiotic comedies (Happy Gilmore is one of my favorites, don't get me wrong) and almost all of his flops have been some surprisingly good dramas. Remember Punch Drunk Love? People were talking Oscar for the guy, but no one went to go see that weird flick. Spanglish? Great movie, but most people don't even know that picture exists. And now there's Reign Over Me, another box office disappointment.
