Sandler, like many successful people in the film-i.e Tina Feye,Steve Matin,Eddie Murphy Become so out of touch with why they were successful in the first place they have to over- compensate and just basically steal ideas from other people. The breast-feeding joke is straight out of the U.K T.V. series "Little Britan". Which i guess Sandler figured no one had seen. The arrow flying in the air is from "Garden State". Which I guess he figured not many people had seen the movie. Its not just that he stole the jokes, or rehashed his own material, the film is less than funny- negative 10 on a funny scale. And the utter waste of talent. I wished they could sue for joke stealing, he would be in court for a long time. Sandler is obviously suffering from some kind of mid-multi-millionaire-movie -star life crisis! And of course all he really wants is to be a serious actor and have his own Philidelphia. But not sure thats ever going to happen to him. Maybe he and Ben Stiller have lots to talk about, they are both trying to do the same things, caught between real actor and silly funny guy forever. Maybe they should be in contact with Steve Matin and they can all write clever plays and screenplays together! Better still Bill Murray, he knows all about it. Is it money that stops people from being funny or inventive or do they have too many people in the entourage who do everything for them?

satire people! NOT FOR Americans

I saw half this film by accident on cable TV, and then went out and bought a copy the next day for 3$ (Sorry Bill). And was very happy to watch it twice. Although i had never heard of it. Look, it's a good movie. 99% of all films being made these are rubbish or you could say 99.9%! The Deal was a few cameos short of brilliant and a bit light on the darker sides. Macy was great as usual, when is not. I feel Macy's character had to be more depressed and a little more crazy and the film needed more of The Player and less Bowfinger. Satire is not laugh out loud comedy it is often just relief that you are finally watching something good. This film would have been a very hard sell, with a smaller budget than Bill and Ben and I'm sure Ryan was working for free or being blackmailed into making the film. This being said they had very good chemistry, although anyone could with Macy, he is probably the best actor working in America-period!!!!! This film type is now a genre with Entourage and Tropic Thunder etc... It is a great shame this film suffers from what is exactly this film is about-the B.S in Hollywood- the out-door luney bin!!! Bill Macy needs to have his own T.V show where he is a producer!!!
