Chadwick Boseman looks just like Jackie Robinson, but in all honesty, that doesn't give him the strength to BE Jackie Robinson.Great sports films come and go, and for a film based on the life of the legendary player Jackie Robinson, "42" should have been MUCH better. The disappointment of a film expected to be great, or a fil...more

"Maybe tomorrow, we'll all wear 42, so nobody could tell us apart...""42" like Spielberg's "Lincoln," is more about a specific moment in a person's life than his entire life. In this case, this movie is about how Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in professional ...more

It's ironic that Sandler's production company is called Happy Madison Productions, after his first two movies Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison. It's ironic because, lately, he's been nothing like those two charaters. Sometimes, it's a good thing. But other times, I just wish we had the funny Sandler back, and not the corny Sandler.Slowly but surely, Adam Sandler movies are turning from in-your-face comedies to chick flicks. All of his movies have him chasing a hot girl, but the focus used to be on his zany antics, not his buddi...more

With the help of friends and family Adam must learn to ada...more
