Couldn't agree more. The "comedy" is just brutal. Its like slapstick humor between old friends the whole time. My eyes started to bleed during it. I rant all the time about how much this movie SUCKS.

I don't know what you guys are talking about...I loved it. I also thought it got better as it went on.

I enjoyed it, granted I was drunk. I wouldn't call it a good movie necessarily, but just something fun to watch with other people.

It's the classic Adam Sandler movie where you're gonna either like it or hate it.
Personally I liked it, but I tend to like all his movies even though they aren't great. (And honestly, I think I prefer Kevin James' and Chris Rock's characters)

I love most Adam Sandler movies, but this one just flat out sucked. It had no plot, it was basically them just hanging out around a lake telling bad jokes. There was no controversy either. The only good part was the hot daughter.

His movies are slip, sliding away. I place it back to when he started having kids. His movies just have gotten more and more corny. Chuck and Larry, Grown-Ups were both pretty bad, and I almost walked out of Just Go With It. I didn't really mind Funny People, even though that still wasn't that good. The last movie of his that I liked was the Longest Yard...

Few funny scenes...but definitely a bad movie.

I wish I would have read this thread before I spent the $1 to rent it...I felt violated for spending $1 on this piece of garbage.

It was a so so movie. Although the part where they are all in the circle and they shoot the arrow straight in the sky, I can definitely see me and my friends doing. Made me laugh

I just happened to watch this movie yesterday on Netflix. There were a few moments that made me laugh. Otherwise it was a movie that didn't have much of a plot or direction. It wasn't a terrible movie, just not that great.
