What I Think: First off, Russell Brand was in this and I love Russell Brand! Anything with Russell Brand in it is worth watching. He's hilarious! Anyways, Sandler is also great in this film. I love the story and way that it works out. Heit and Kesling did pretty well for being children in this movie. Russell was great onscreen with Sandler. I enjoyed the plot and the different parts of the stories they told and the reenactments of the stories. They were all funny and I think that Sandler loved being all sorts of different characters during the movie.

What I Think: I thought that this movie was ok. The comedy was great and I was laughing most of the time. Within the first 5 minutes, several scenes of Segel naked went by. We were all surprised to see everything. There were a few scenes of female nudity, but they were nothing compared to Segel! Bell has come a long way from 'Pulse'. She was gorgeous the entire movie. Kunis is new to me, but I loved watching her. She was breathtakingly beautiful. As for Brand, I hope to see more of him. He was just so funny! This movie is definitely one to watch.
