That's a pretty interesting take on it, I could buy that. I'm not saying Sandler is a bad actor or that he shouldn't try his hand at drama - I just mean that if I was the movie producer, he seems like an unnecessary risk and more likely a distraction than an asset.
Ultimately it's tough to know whether he can fully pull it off, because I think the writing lets the movie down far more than any performances do. I was on board with the movie halfway through, but felt it just fell apart.
