this movie stressed me out. it was nonstop from beginning to end in anxiety. at first, while I got used to the energy of the movie, it was loud, busy, and fast. people talked over to each other and didn't stop moving. there was a lot going on! it is an introvert's nightmare. o could feel the overstimulation the entire movie. HOWEVER, this was good. great? no. but wow. I give it props just for how it elicited an energy exchange. the business got in the way of fully understanding any nuance in the story. but overall, it was an interesting story about a man juggling his family, mistress, business, and gambling in pursuit of a lavish and rich life. unrelateable to me, but fun to watch and the ending made it quite a tragedy. so it goes. Sandler gives a great performance (I'm not a huge Sandler fan, so that's saying something, I think). Worth watching, but prepare yourself for a gogogogo time. schedule some silence afterwards if your easily stimulated.
