Kevin James is the star of the show. He may not be the movie star yet, but he has good comic timing, and he carries the heart of the movie all by himself. Sure, his methods may not be very good, and downright criminal, but his character has a sweetness that rings true.

Sandler, on the other hand, seems to be off throughout the movie. The fireman/ladies man seems to be just outside of his grasp; I cannot quite put my finger on it, but it really felt off. Jessica Biel, as their lawyer, looks great, but doesn't seem like a terribly good lawyer, and what is it with the idea that it is okay to strip down in front of a client (gay or not) and let him play with your breasts? I know about those who say women feel safe around gay men, that they aren't threatened, but give me a break. I doubt there are many that would feel this secure, not to mention she doesn't really know him, and he is a client! Much of the supporting cast is filled with Sandler regulars, as well as cameos by SNL alums like David Spade, Rachel Dratch, Rob Schneider, and Dan Akroyd and cameos by the likes of Richard Chamberlain, Lance Bass, Dave Matthews, and Rob Corddry.

Bottom line. This could have been so much funnier, so much smarter, and just flat out better. The laughs are few and far between. I wanted to like it, I was expecting a better script from Alexander Payne, but it just failed to offer anything other than low brow comedy. I know it was meant as a low brow comedy, but even low brow comedies can rise above and stand out in a crowd. This is destined to be forgotten. Still, it did have a good deal of Mets gear, and that is always a good thing.

Not Recommended.
