| I have not cared for any of the Adam Sandler films I have seen. They would
include "Happy Gilmore," "The Waterboy" and "The Wedding Singer." All of them
were box-office hits, not to mention "Big Daddy" and "Billy Madison." My feeling

| For his latest film, director Paul Thomas Anderson ("Boogie Nights,"
"Magnolia")

| I've been endeared to Adam Sandler's childlike
giddiness and his dimension of edginess from his
days on Saturday Night Live. But when he left
the world of 3-minute skits for the world of
2-hour films, it seemed that...more |

| The first question on everyone's mind isn't about the movie; it's
