Oh and Adam Sandler is phenomenal! His anxiety-filled performance is insanely relatable, the little nuances like the lies he creates so he doesn't have to have conversation, the little times he beats himself up for doing stupid shit "well bye-bye then, you stupid motherfucker". This film is incredibly awkward as it is beautiful, heart breaking as it is heart warming. A new favourite.
