Adam Sandler plays a very successful comedian who learns he has a terminal illness and is forced to re-evaluate his life,especially with the former love of his life who has moved on leaving him behind,married and had two children.He also encourages an up and coming comic played by the perpetually unfunny Seth Rogen and becomes something of a mentor to him.
These are the two principal plot strands which plod along for what seems like an eternity.There are "excerpts" from Sandler's film career in which his most famous character is him playing a baby on which his head has been grafted,as well as some scenes in which we see him doing his stand-up routine in clubs.
The audience,for some reason, found his patter hilarious whilst I sat in the cinema stony-faced and waiting patiently for the jokes to start.The routine about David Beckham's penis has to be heard to be believed.There are only two funny moments - Eric Bana (playing the husband) explaining the rules of Australian football and his wife impersonating his Australian accent.
A film which should be vigorously prosecuted under the Trade Descriptions Act.Puerile,badly written,tedious,overlong and quite simply boring. Rubbish.0/10
