I rewatched it the other day and my perspective has changed a bit. Of course it was never live up to the original but I really dont think Sandler could've done anything else.I had a similar experience. Got about halfway through and woke up just in time for the final round of play. And I didn't feel any need to rewind.
I may go back to watch just to see how Scheffler ended up in jail, but I'm okay if I never find out how.
