This is the first collaboration between Happy Madison and Disney Pictures and most of us still remember how weird Zohan was (i loph u Emmanuelle Chriqui, haha…) but… Everybody waiting for something like Click again. Well, bad news ladies and gentlemen, we wont get Clicked out here. Unless you are the ultra sentimental dudes, the whole thing in this film is comedy, slapstick, and rudehumor. Any family drama inside is just an extra, not worth mentioning. Good news is, for Sandler movie fans… you’re goin to get the (usual) whole Sandler experience. The prank, stupid habit(s), the impossible stunts, the cameo (Schneider and Russel Brand). Well this isn’t an actual good news, we already expected this stuff… but yeah, whatever. Anyway, it was a good ride. Go to the cinema now and you wont have the feeling that you’ve wasted $2 (Indonesian price).
