05.11.05Netflix So maybe Jim Brooks has gone past the edge of the world into that vague category where his movies are too rich and mature for current American audiences... or maybe this one just didn't work. All the characters were written very well but this movie is a hard nut to crack. Sandler, who I think has some dramatic chops, falls a bit short as does Leoni (who I also like), and the story makes for anticlimax by design so there are really no easy points to make here... so that gives it some extra points. So i thought it was good but a little shy of short.
