Dude, this movie was my childhood. Screw off, this is a friggin masterpiece and I don’t give a shit about what you say.
Review by laura ★★★ 1

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

the cultural impact of this movie!! i mean...
- the court room scene where everyone starts calling their fathers? inspired greta gerwig to write a complicated mother/daughter film that is filled with love and ends with the daughter calling her mom to say she loves her
- the whole teaching julian to tie his shoes bit? marriage story & jojo rabbit i’m looking at you
- obviously i don’t need to get into the daddy longlegs dir. by the safdie brothers similarities!!
- the founding father play? why did we need hamilton when this five year old was able to summarize his impact in 10 seconds

Such a charmer. Balances the anger and the sweetness that you expect from Adam Sandler. In this one, Rob Schneider lathers on the brown face to play a Greek delivery guy.
