The Clean Slate
This seems like a bad idea. I'm the first one in line to applaud reasonable policy stances on the part of the US government but I get very nervous when this band of chumps gets a free pass on anything. It can't be good.

Yes, Adam Sandler, I don't like you. I think you're a hack, and this snippet of the article about "Funny People" backs me up (Sort of):
That’s too bad because while Mr. Sandler doesn’t have the necessary acting technique or even the natural warmth to convince you that his character cares about anyone else, he is undeniably a star, the movie’s biggest draw and its most effective and powerful presence. It’s easy to buy him as both a selfish jerk and a maudlin self-pitier, whether George is weeping alone into his designer sheets or confiding some medical news to his housekeeper, the only sympathetic ear around. With his flatline drone, stand-and-deliver gestural performance and prickliness, Mr. Sandler is effortlessly charmless, and in his performance you see the risky movie this might have been if Mr. Apatow had pushed harder.
Eat it, Sandler.
