There are only three Adam Sandler films that I have ever really liked - 'Grown Ups 1 and 2' and this one.
I don't know if it's just because it's set in an era I enjoy so much or if it's because of all the references to the 80's that I love and are delivered quite hysterically.
I still don't rate Adam particularly highly in this film, but I could at least get behind his character and route for him more than I could with other films.
The story is sweet. I do love a romance and the supporting actors and their stories are all very enjoyable.
There is something about Allan Covert in that red leather jacket, with the tache, that is quite fanciable too.
The music is superb, even when it is being slaughtered by some of the singers, because they are just great songs and the backing songs they used are fantastic too. It would make a really good jukebox stage musical if it hasn't already.
706.75/1000.
