Trivia
Adam Sandler plays the character Max Kessler. A real-life New York City accountant named Max Kessler bears a strong resemblance to Sandler and had met with one of his associates. The two would later meet for the first time after Kessler accepted an invitation to the film's premiere.

Goofs
As Heather approaches the table where Max, Charlie and Mrs. Kessler are sitting, we see a lightning strike. As the flicker of light briefly comes back, we see Heather jump to another position in the room.

Quotes
Charlie: How could you have not researched these guys?
Max: I researched them. Dr. Ron, a very successful doctor, with an impeccable record, who unfortunately got two bullets to the head.
Charlie: You said he died of natural causes!
Max: You naturally die if you get two bullets to the head.

Crazy credits
When the credits start to roll, it turns out that the name of the fictional pharmaceutical company Trojgaard mentioned in the movie was taken from one of the film's co-producers, Pernille Trojgaard (who is also an actress, but not in this movie).

Pleasantly Surprised

I am a fan of older Adam Sandler movies (Billy Maddison, Happy Gilmore, and old SNL with Farley). Everyone knows Sandler has done some terrible stuff in the past while, but this one wasn't the worst.

He wasn't terribly over the top or in your face like he is in roles for films like Zohan, That's my Boy, Jack & Jill. This film had genuinely laugh-out-loud moments; the cast really helps (Kathryn Hahn, Matt Walsh) - even David Spade is funny!

The movie isn't a classic. It isn't going to be one you're quoting. The film is enjoyable! If you're looking for a laugh, it's a good film to watch.
