More from the journals:

John Podhoretz, NY Post columnist and Weekly Standard movie critic,
writing in the current WS (July 30), sort of likes the new movie, "I
Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry."

I say "sort of," because he definitely does not like Dennis Dugan:

"...the movie is directed by Dennis Dugan, who was an intensely
annoying actor 30 years ago when he played James Rockford's boyish
rival Richie Brockelman on 'The Rockford Files' and is quite possibly
the worst director of comedy in the world today."

Sandler is on record as really liking to work with Dugan, much to
Podhoretz's annoyance.

Podhoretz is well over the top here, it seems to me, but then being a
full-time, paid movie critic faced with much of what's coming out
these days might do that to you. I never found the Brockelman
character at all "intensely annoying"; I like him and the eps he was
in. My impression is that most of us here do.

Funny that one review should embody a host of subjects made a specific
mockery of here recently, but Dennis Dugan has been doing lots of
Sandler bootlicking these days. I guess little men like him have
little else to cling to, but he was sure bigger than life back when
life made a little more sense. I mean, what the hell is an Adam
Sandler?
