that his acting was very good. He's not the dreamy guy I fell in love with in Spanglish, but oh well.

The movie, however, was not as good as he was. I don't see it winning any awards.

Doesn’t mean he’s a bad actor, just a bad citizen.

I honestly can not understand why ANYONE could vote for Giuliani - he, like Trump, is not even a decent human being

If you are talking about 1994, when he was the tough face of mafia-busting, and NYC was having a crisis, coming out of a weak Dinkins mayor-ship, replete with a full-fledged anti-Jewish pogrom in 1991 where us Jews were literally having our front doors kicked in by racist mobs. . . .

Well, back then, a law-and-order candidate had a certain appeal.

After that, I concur.

I now like him even less knowing he supports Giuliani & is a Republican (who probably also likes the asshole in the White House)

The only movie I ever came close to "liking" him in was "Zohan"

announced he's supporting Buttigieg. And I don't know about Sandler's politics (but I have always heard he's a Republican). In any case, I thought he was excellent in Uncut Gems. I think even Oscar worthy.....
