The terrorists are annoying.
Adam Sandler is annoying.
I normally like him but not in this one.
I wanted to break the DVD.
This is the most irritating film in the world.
The comedian he's jealous of is obnoxious.
The only remotely funny part is the rocker with the black teeth getting all the girls.
It was so irritating I wanted to punch the TV.
DO NOT BUY THIS MOVIE UNLESS YOU WANT TO ANNOY SOMEONE.
If you even like Adam Sandler a little bit, Don't buy it.
It will just make you hate him.
Do yourself a favor, if you see it in the store, hide it to put everyone out of danger of buying it.
Its a waste of the $1.99 I paid for it.
First: I bought it at the video store.
Second: I watched it.
Third: It was boring.
Fourth: It was not funny.
Fifth: Most of the antics were lame.
And last, but not least: It's not only a bad movie, it's a total fiasco.
I am a huge Adam Sandler fan despite this disappointing and forgotten film.
I pity it because it was his first movie.
Even if you are a huge Adam Sandler fan, don't bother watching this movie.
Instead, just take the video, board a yacht, and throw it overboard.
I am a HUGE Adam Sandler fan, and one day I was looking at the Cast&Crew selection on one of his DVD's and saw 'Going Overboard' and decided to go out and rent it.
So I went out with a few buddies of mine and rented it.
We put it on and we were shocked to see an Adam Sandler that didn't hit puberty yet, he looks as if he was 12 when this movie came out.
I couldn't even watch 30 minutes of this crap, I didn't laugh, chuckle, or even smirk at this movie, actually the only time I smirked was when I saw how horrid this movie was.
I could not believe how hard he tried to make the viewers laugh in this movie...
and it didn't work once.
Although from seeing the horribly awful camera angles and hearing the disgusting script I realized why I had never heard of this movie,...
because it sucks more than anything has ever sucked before.
This movie, in my opinion, was the WORST movie EVER made,....
EVER!
Even if you're a huge Sandler fan, please don't bother with this extremely disappointing comedy!
I bought this movie for $7.99, assuming it has to be at least halfway decent since my man Sandler is in it and because I assumed some women would get naked (judging by the R-rating and scantily-clad women on the cover).
Well, there are quite a few scantily-clad women, but none get naked.
I'm not sure what point this was in Sandler's career, but I'm guessing it was even before his SNL days.
I can be wrong.
This is like watching one of his home movies.
He might look back at a cheesy movie like this and reminisce about the good ol' times...
but we (the audience) are left to dry.
This is hardly a "movie!"
Sandler does a lot of talking to the camera, and even admits at one point that this is "no-budget" movie (that's right, not a low-budget movie, a NO-budget movie).
So our job is pretty much to laugh AT the quirky characters.
There is no steady plot, it's like an extended sketch comedy show--but a crude and badly written one.
That guy who played the nasty comedian was completely annoying and it was implausible in the first place that he would receive such a mass audience.
And Sandler finds his comic inspiration by saying the one classic Henny Youngman line "Take my wife, please" and the audience is on the floor?
I'm not even going to TRY to make any logic here.
Sure, Sandler's current and recent movies are not known for making a lot of sense (the penguin in "Billy Madison," the midget in "Happy Gilmore's" Happy Place) but the comedy works.
This is a strictly amateurish work, and even if you're curious about Adam's early days in film--you still won't be interested.
You're better off checking out his start on SNL or maybe his underrated role in "Mixed Nuts."
Of course, the Sandman is not the only actor wasted in this thankless vehicle.
Billy Bob Thornton also makes a short appearance, Billy Zane ("Titanic") has a supporting role and the great Burt Young (from the "Rocky" movies) has a significant role.
This awful comedy will most probably be collecting dust on the 99-cent rental section of your local video store--and rightfully so.
My score: 3 (out of 10)
This early Adam Sandler film could be compared to his life as a comic during the same period in 1989.
His character's constant acknowledgement of his hidden comic genius and frustration regarding humorous material seems to come more from Sandler than the script.
The film is nothing compared to his blockbuster feature films, such as Big Daddy or even the corny Billy Maddison.
Unfortunately, Sandler had not yet found a way to express himself in a consistent, successful and funny manner when this film was made, much like his character.
The majority of the film's "jokes" come from Sandler having conversations with himself, usually over his unrecognised comic talent and beating himself up because he's too ugly and can't get women.
The film is hard to watch too because it doesn't treat itself like a real film.
Sandler talks to the camera and the viewers throughout the film, often referring to the film's low budget or questionable content.
The film is ultimately awkward and embarrassing to watch.
I immediately wanted to forget I even saw this film after it was over, for fear that if more found out about it, it would ruin Sandler's career.
Pass this one up at the video store, I rented it for free and it was still a waste of time.
Having decided some time ago to collect the films of Billy Bob Thornton (on the strength of class movies like "Sling Blade", "A Simple Plan" and "The Man Who Wasn't There" amongst others), it was inevitable that there would be the odd turkey in there.
What I didn't realise however, was that there could be one THIS bad.
I'll give you an idea how incredibly poor this film is - the funniest dialogue in it goes like this: "Knock Knock", "Who's there?"
, "The big stinking man", "The big stinking man who?"
, "The big stinking man - is YOU!"
Yes folks, it really is that bad.
Billy Bob is only in it for about two minutes (I guess he needed the work at that time in his career), and the rest of the movie is painful.
For some reason though, although it's undeniably awful, I don't hate it.
That's probably because I save my ire for any high budget, special effects laden junk like "The Fast and the Furious" and not a "no-budget" flick like this one.
2/10 at a push.
Worst mistake of my life.
I picked this movie up at Target for $5 because I figured, "Hey, it's Sandler I can get some cheap laughs."
I was wrong, completely wrong.
Mid-way through the film all three of my friends were asleep and I was still suffering.
Worst plot, Worst script, Worst movie I have ever seen.
I wanted to hit my head up against a wall for an hour, then I'd stop, and you know why?
Because it felt damn good.
Upon bashing my head in i stuck that damn movie in the microwave and watched it burn....
and that felt better than anything else I've ever done.
It took American Psycho, Army of Darkness, and Kill Bill just to get over that crap.
I HATE YOU SANDLER FOR ACTUALLY GOING THROUGH WITH THIS AND RUINING A WHOLE DAY OF MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This movie was so bad I couldn't sit through it without doing something else.
There was no plot and no point.
I was thoroughly bored and for a film about a stand up comedian, I couldn't recall one joke or funny line worthy of the description.
Politicians with no charisma speaking technical jargon could not be less entertaining.
So how was this made?
Is there no quality control in film?
Watching the girls in bikinis was the only distraction during this horrible experience.
It's hard to imagine that Adam Sandler who has become popular and has appeared in fine comedies was able to survive after this kind of exposure.
He was not funny in the least in this movie so it proves that the writing is so vital in effective comedy.
I saw this movie about 5 years ago, and the memory of it still haunts me to this day.
I was fully aware at how awful it was supposed to be going into it, so I have only myself to blame.
But like most, I didn't believe all the negativity.
Being a Sandler fan, it just seemed inconceivable one of his movies could really be that bad.
I figured it was just Sandler haters.
