This is a lovely movie. It is tender, sweet and insightful. It has intelligence and is about how people find that life does not deliver what you expect. People are not what they seem, success is not the cure all. This is not a romantic comedy. this is a wonderful movie.

I've seen this movie several times. I loved it. I loved the characters--all except for the role played by Tea Leoni. She was too over the top. Sandler shows a dramatic side that is hard to beat.

James L. Brooks is one of the best screenwriters of our time. Granted, I didn't laugh as much during this movie as I did during As Good as it Gets, but his movies are about real life situations, and the humor found in the hardest times of our lives. If you're looking for slap stick comedy, in which someone will get kicked in the crotch more than once within an hour and a half, this is not the script for you. This script is a work of art.

I don't know why anyone would buy this script...the movie is awful, unimaginative, cheesy, and totally predictable. I didn't laugh at all. I disliked this movie so much, that I bought the script as a joke for my boyfriend who took me to the movie.

If you liked the movie, and your considering the script, it's all there. Script-wise. You can read it if you really want to relive the painful moments.
