Calling it a romantic comedy doesn&#8217;t do the film any good.  In fact it is more of a suspensly tight drama.  Everything about it is excellent.

I am not sure.<\/p>\n<p>It is an interesting wrap up story around &#8220;I am to shy to date girls&#8221; line.  Brilliant sound.  It&#8217;s not that much of a soundtrack, but a non-stop sound effect type of thing, that does audience mood control.  Excellent acting.  I am impressed by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0001191\/\">Adam Sandler<\/a>. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0000450\/\">Philip Seymour Hoffman<\/a> was great too.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0001833\/\">Emily Watson<\/a> was not bad at all.  Dialogs were great.  Camera was great.<\/p>\n<p>This film has &#8220;I know what I am doing&#8221; director&#8217;s stamp all over it.
