This is a must watch holiday movie in my house. 🕎Happy Hanukkah

I remember watching this as a child, and I loved it greatly during that time. As an adult, looking back I can see the humor being a tiny bit dated. Adam Sandler's typical humor was a lot funnier during this time. Still, watching it in 2015 I can easily say it's one of my favorite holiday themed movies.
The movie is essentially what you'd get if more shows/movies highlighted the village idiot's life currently, but in a musical fashion to get people at least slightly moving to the tunes. As a musical, it's a bit.. Lacking in memorable tunes, but I can't deny that Sandler's voice is definitely memorable in this movie, whether it be in a parody-like voice, or his own, he does it pretty well.
Story-wise, it's what I originally said, a village idiot getting more of a backstory and plot. Davey Stone is a mess of a man that has wreaked havoc amongst the public quite a lot, more specifically around the holidays. It's not until Whitey Duvall comes to Stone's rescue in court that he's even saved from jail time. Over the course of the movie, more characters get introduced including Jennifer(Stone's love interest.), Benjamin(Jennifer's son.), and Eleanore(Whitey's sister.). They play a role in the development of Stone's character, making us see a human side of this careless wreck.
Overall, the movie really builds, while it's the same typical humor(I know I said this earlier.), it still holds a candle in the plethora of Adam Sandler films that were kinda good. Moments did feel like it dragged out, and there's a specific scene where you kinda question Whitey and Eleanore for not leaving well enough alone in terms of Davey's past. Despite that, it's a good film for Adam Sandler fans, one that you should put in their stockings this holiday if you know a fan that's yet to see this film.

It was something I'd watch again for my kids. Shows that some people aren't mean naturally, they have a past that made them who they are now. Takes a little patience and love.

Not one of His best movies but over all not bad. Look at rating before sitting the little ones down in front of TV. Sandler is know for his raunchy and crude behavior. Some like it knowing all just an act. While others take it to heart thinking how a person acts on screen is same off. Every movie has it story line and scripts so don't go trying to compare this to his past work. I say watch movie here or wherever via strem,etc Like other reviews said have to watch the movie to full understand the main character Davey Stone and why He acts out and in disregard to the law or anybody. Nice turn around at the end. This is jst my opinion and you know what they say about those so watch if you like cool if not always the next movie to enjoy. As for the ones that don't like Adam Sandler yet they watch his movie just to talk smack: Just how stupid are you?? Go play in traffic!! For the parents that let the TV raise their kids Wake up and learn to read even though this is an Animation know that some Anime can get sick and twisted. For Sandler fans trying to compare thinking this is Bill Madison,Happy Gilmore,Etc Not His best work but has that Sandler twist to it. I started out a Adam Sandler fan going to his stand up Comedy shows way before SNL,Movies or Hollywood. So like every other movie I take it as what it is just a move nothing more. The waste of time people reviews good for you maybe you should be writing your speech for The Noble Piece Prize instead of wasting your life away watching movies.....

10/10
