Rating: 6 out of 10, some really funny moments in this movie, mostly about the pitfalls of plastic surgery. The plot is totally unbelievable but does provide a vehicle for the jokes and the semi-sweet, but totally predictable, love story between Sandler and Anniston. The movie was marketed very heavily on Decker's yellow bikini. This was smart because she is visually stunning, really, really stunning and can actually act, a little bit (lucky man that Roddick guy). Some of the funniest stuff involved Nicole Kidman, whom I usually cannot stand, but who was pretty good in a small role playing an absolute bitch. I get the impression Sandler has a great time making his movies and doesn't really care if we like them. For this reason some of his movies are extremely funny where others are abominable. This one falls in the middle. Anniston once again shines in a comedic role and more than holds her own against Decker in the bikini department. Swardson, one of Sandler's regular troupe, has some of the funniest bits as the target of abuse from everybody, playing Dolph Lungren, a totally over the top sheep salesman. I liked this movie, it made me laugh, and the female leads just wore the hell out of those bikinis.
MVP: Anniston as Katherine, reestablishes her comedic roots and has still got it.
