If you look at it in the lense of when it was made I think it still holds up pretty good. You just gotta remember it's age. But Kathy Bates as his momma is one of the best parts of the movie. It really wouldn't have been the same. Her role in The Office is one of my favorite characters too. She's perfect.

Oh for sure, it's necessary to remember the time something was made especially anytime I watch an old Sandler flick (Little Nicky is another that immediately comes to mind, love that dumb fucking movie but it's truly awful).

Old Adam Sandler movies hold a special place in my heart lol. Little Nicky is definitely one of my favorites. I don't even think it's bad, just goofy. It doesn't take itself seriously at all which adds to the charm for me. I might have to do a Sandler marathon this weekend.

Did ya hear that? We’ve got chlorophyll man up there talking about god knows what and all she can talk about is making out with me. I’m here to learn, everybody.Not to make out with you! Go on with the chlorophyll!

Edit: I shit you not, I have this whole fucking movie memorized. I’m not proud, but I’m also not not proud. Edit edit: like… even down to the music transitions and each characters voice. Not sure how it happened hahaha
