    That was more awful than I could have imagined. And I don't even hate Adam Sandler.

    There are so many strange and terrifying aspects to that .. but hands down the oddest is the shot of Al Pacino wearing a fake beard at a Lakers game.

    For the first 20 seconds, it was annoying.

    Then the "sister" was revealed.

    For the next minute, it was literally the worst trailer I had ever seen.

    Then Al Pacino turned up.

    I think my love of cinema just died.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    You can't have identical twins of different gender. That set-up makes no sense!

    All he wants to do is play Twistah with your sistah.

    I am guessing that this ends with an affirmation that, despite all of the aggravation and the arguments and the annoyances, family truly is the most important thing in life. Because deep down .... they're us.

    Happy Madison probably doubled their efficiency when they realized punchlines setups jokes were unnecessary.

    It'd be awesome if at the end of the movie they actually acknowledged that she's a tranny.

    And the relationship with Al Pacino is unaffected.

    The existence of this film has been justified, albeit still unexplained.

    Wow, Katie Holmes plays the perfect anti-audience where you're like, this isn't real she has this face of, "I don't even consider the idea this isn't real". Oh Katie, you're so precious.
