Why It Rocks

 * 1) Adam Sandler does his best dramatic performance as Barry Egan and got nominated a Golden Globe for this film.
 * 2) The film deconstructs typical Adam Sandler movies to a great effect, for example, when Barry has a nervous breakdown, it’s played for drama rather than comedy.
 * 3) Philip Seymour Hoffman yelling tons of "SHUT UP"s is very satisfying to watch.
 * 4) It is relatable to those who are awkward and introverted.
 * 5) Sandler plays the piano quite nicely.
 * 6) The scene transitions are artistically beautiful.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The film may make die-hard Adam Sandler comedy fans squirm.
 * 2) It failed at the box office, despite the acclaim.
