8/10

This is definitely Adam Sandler's best film and this was back when he actually made funny movies. Nearly every moment is comedy gold, especially any scene with the late Richard Kiel. Sandler actually tries to give a decent performance and pulls off a believable kindhearted jackass with severe anger problems. Christopher McDonald shines as the pompous douchebag Shooter McGavin, who is definitely one of the funniest comedy villains ever. I miss the Adam Sandler of the 90's, who actually wanted to make funny and watchable movies.
