Watched this last night because i was in the mood for a film and wow what a great movie. Adam sandler is absolutely brilliant in it as always, and although he doesnt play a comedy line he still plays the part amazingly.
Also gotta say i loved the story, one of the only films to almost make me cry (still yet to cry haha), but was really holding it back for this one. Definitely worth a watch.
Anyone else seen it? Opinions?
One of the most sad movies I've ever seen, he's such a powerful actor. His acting in this and Click were really moving.
Adam Sandler at his best. Powerful film, love it. I think there are far sadder films out there though.
Definitely. And there probably is, but im not one to watch a sad film so of those that i've seen, this is the one that touched me the mostQuote:

Agreed, and the fact the shadow of the colossus is a brilliant and fantastic game helps aswell :PQuote:
