This is an awful movie. Sandler is surrounded by top supporting talent with Wynona Ryder and John Turturro, but the director (or maybe Sandler himself) gave him(self) little or nothing to do. When you ask the audience to suspend their cognitive thought process and focus on fantasy - then let them have a fantasy. Or, at least some attempt at it. Unbelieveable plot line (although I've not benefited from viewing the original) about a hick from New Hampshire (not a great marketing technique here) who inherits $40 billion from never known grand uncle. Right! Sure...ok maybe.
Sandler is off to New York and meets up with Wynona Ryder, an entertainment news producer, and of course falls in love - until, of course he discovers her true ID. Turturro plays the disappearing butler who likes feet. Turturro hands in a fine performance and that is the only thing that makes the movie worth the rental price.
