Not terrible, but the fact that they have to explain a Phish joke onscreen does not bode well.  Trevor Wall directed.

I saw this movie at the time but didn't remember much about it, unlike the previous year's The Wedding Singer, which I quite enjoyed (and now own), yes, including Sandler (who co-wrote this but not that), while here he's easily the least likable character in the first quarter hour.  Still, I have seen worse comedies, including from him. 

Dennis Dugan directed.  Note that the Sprouse twins, who play the five-year-old kid, were almost seven at the time and already acting vets, although still a year away from Friends.
