I believe it is one of the lesser efforts from both of them.It is full of elements found in each of the others, with nothing new.

True, Adam Sandler is no Gary Cooper, but Sandlers quirky sense of humor saves the film from being a straight rehash of the mediocre original.

Instead, the movie falls into the usual Sandler pattern: It contrasts adult values with childhood values and comes down on the side of childhood.
