Movie Haiku:Promising film about success American-style (craving it if you don''''t have it/managing it if you do) turns annoyingly self-indulgent in Apatow''''s excessively long new "comedy." We like Sandler (Mr. Success) & Rogen (Mr. WannaBe) is growing on us, but both women characters are weak & all the big name walk-ons grow tedious.
