However, his newfound ability to become someone else proves to be as troublesome as it is fun. When a ruthless real estate developer tries to take over his neighborhood, Max uses his gift to become the hero he always hoped he could be. (Image Entertainment)

Sandler failed miserably with this one. The movie was quite civil, but it could have at least been a bit watchable. This flick was incredibly boring and the Jewish music motifs didn’t make it better, either.

The ending feels terribly lost, and you get the sense that something that could have been more interesting is cut short halfway, but there's nothing to be done about it. I just can't be objective when it comes to a Sandler movie. I enjoyed this film; there are interesting actors, and even though the summary isn't executed well, the journey was intriguing and sometimes inventive.
