My Thoughts:
I have seen this movie in the theatres. I remembered it being much more fun. I still enjoyed, but just not as much as the last time. Maybe it is because of the director's cut. I had the feeling it dragged in too many scenes.
Robert Downey Jr did a really great job though. Jack Black though was underused and not used in the right way. His drug-addicted character was just too much of a one-joke character.

My Thoughts:
I just finished watching this one. I am more of a fan of Kevin James then I am of Adam Sandler. I always liked Kevin James in the series The King of Queens and have always enjoyed his movies.... where with Adam Sandler it has been very hit and miss... where I only really like about half the stuff he does. While I liked this film... it definitely had it's moments... I found it to be no more then average. I felt that some of the scenes went a little far and was a little hard to watch. But over-all worth the time put in to watch it. Though it won't be often I can see myself watching ths one again.
