My review: 
I would like to start off by saying I went into watching this movie thinking it was strictly slapstick comedy like Adam Sandler and Seth Roger are known for. I was really not expecting the extremely depressing elements in this film that classifies it for me as a dramedy. The movie definitely kept me entertained I will say that. Some of the jokes gave me a good belly laugh, and Adam Sandler talking to the woman in the bar left me in stitches. But I kept wondering through the entire thing when the climax would start. Its almost like the movie was one big set up and no climax. The ending wasn't your normal Hollywood ending, it ended just on a odd note which is fine, I love movies like that. But I thought there would be more that needed to be done. Some of the side characters made me want to kill myself. Aziz Ansari, Jason Schwartzman, and Andy Dick's appearances weren't much of a let down because, they pretty much sucked in everything they were in anyways. I was just waiting for Paulie Shore to show up. But overall the bizarre humor of this movie left me with a good taste in my mouth. 
7/10
