I go back and forth with Adam Sandler. He's personable as all get out, but his taste level varies wildly. I also get the feeling that he does movies about certain subjects just so I can hang out with the people that fit. In this case that would be a bunch of NBA legends, etc.
But this movie is largely a forth. It's tightly done, humorous without being dumb, dramatic without being morose, and generally just a nice, rewarding way to spend a couple of hours.
All the actors are great, the Philly references are right on, and it's touching in spots.
Good job Adam! I might've gone 8 stars, but for a couple of little PG jokes that make the movie a tad less suitable for kids.
