Kevin James is entertaining and thankfully doesn't play the main character as an annoying jerk, but as a nice sensitive underdog and good guy with a sense of principle. Plus, he's lucky to have the endearingly cute Jayma Mays, with whom he gets along very well as an actor. Good so far. Actually, the idea of making the second half of the film a variation on Die Hard isn't bad at all. Unfortunately, the humor in this part of the film becomes somehow more awkward and uninteresting, thanks to the extremely unfunny and stupid band of robbers. It’s too bad, as this could have been a really relaxing affair. Three and a half stars. (13.10.2014)

Do not be mistaken, I do like Sandler. What I don’t get, however, is his idea of producing good, average and bad films.
