What I noticed after watching the movie is how it has over 90% positive on RT but only 50% of the viewers gave it a positive.

Then I read the comments and saw how ridiculous some of them were.

typical negative comment:
"I took my 78 year old parents to see it... on Christmas no less... and those characters dropped the F-bomb like 3000 times."

Well, this was the disclaimer on the rating they should have noticed ahead of time...
Rating: R (for pervasive strong language, violence, some sexual content and brief drug use)

I'm not sure how anybody thought they were going to see "Finding Nemo" with that disclaimer. Gimme a break.

I think people expected a typical moronic Adam Sandler film - but got a good one instead.

I don't know how a strong "R" rating would make anybody expect Happy Gilmore or Blended.

Never underestimate the stupidity of Joe and Jane Q. Public

Sandler was great. Story was not good.
Agree that the story was too chaotic and really didn't like the performance by Sandler...thought the girlfriend was well acted...

Too many unanswered questions. It was like the viewer was dropped into the middle of the chaos and left to figure it out, if possible, on their own.

No one I know who's seen it had favorable things to say about it with the exception of Sandler's performance.

Sandler is a great serious actor, given the right material.

I missed this one in the theatres! I wanted to see it, but my theaters only showed it at 1 or 2 times a day & I couldn't see it.

I just watched tonight on Netflix. Interesting and kind of entertaining but disturbing.

Spoiler
I wonder if the girlfriend had planned to end up with the money or was it just luck?

It's for Tarantino fans who also like basketball.

I like both, so it was up my alley.

The brother-in-law's Russian gangsta bodyguards reminded me of Rudy Giuliani's now indicted Russian mobster associates (Parnas and Fruman) in a tangent kind of way.
