I am just totally agreeing with you !
I really love when Adam sandler is making huge great roles.
Things that never happens when he's directing the movie, here he's only becoming this annoying guy becoming kinder over the time and finally getting the cute girl. Just like you said.
When he tries to have real roles this is awesome ! I just saw Uncut Gems and that between both.
He's still a terrible person but here there is a real perspective and not only jokes ! If you did not see it, try to take a look at it ! Even if it's frustrating all along the movie. You'll understand
That's right and I think he does it on purpose. It is as if he said: "Well, there is something different for you but don't get used to it too much. I'll just give you a taste of what I can do if I put my mind to it"
