...Rosen engine design, announced last week, draws its power from two very different sources. The first is a high-powered turbine--a mini-jet engine if you will--that will keep your car purring along on the freeway with just a spit of gas every now and then. For quick acceleration and hill climbing, the turbine is linked to a flywheel, an energy-producing and energy-storing contraption that is at least as old as the first potter's wheel--a stone that had to be heavy enough to continue turning between kicks from someone's foot.

Sandler has the whining sharpie role, playing up coquettishly to Wayans' righteousness. He even--could this be more femme?--gets his own romantic shower scene, in which he warbles I Will Always Love You. But there's not a lot of giving in his give-and-take scenes with Wayans.
