ADAM SANDLER TAKES A SERIOUS GAMBLE WITH 'UNCUT GEMS'

Adam Sandler pointing the way in UNCUT GEMS Rating: **
For the most part, GEMS is a gritty New York City arthouse flick that never intentionally settles into one place comfortably; and the frantic, neurotic, fast-talking Sandler has his moments...

The problem is that the directors — throwing in too many characters and an annoying, intrusive score — keep trying to out-frantic their leading man, making it tough if impossible to know what's going on, or why. Unlike the far superior, equally artistic PUNCH-DRUNK LOVE, the man simply gets lost in the shuffle.
