There's really not much more that Rhino didn't mention.

Specifically, Leoni, after being urged by her mother to come clean, confesses to Sandler that she has been cheating on him. They get in a big argument. Sandler leaves and offers to give the maid a ride as well (since she's leaving). The two share a romantic (nothing physical) moment in Sandler's restaurant.

Sandler goes back home.

Then the movie basically ends with the maid quitting. Nothing else is shown between Leoni and Sandler. Leoni, who showed brief signs of realizing how bad of a person she was, is suddenly very selfish again, and doesn't appear to have learned any lesson.

So, basically, the audience has no idea what will become of Sandler and Leoni... not even a hint.

There were other things I didn't like about the movie as well. Anytime Sandler would get mad and start yelling, it was pretty much impossible to take him seriously since he sounded just like Happy Gilmore going off on Bob Barker.

I also didn't think they dug deep enough into the daughter. They did some good stuff early on with Leoni resenting her because she was overweight, but there could have been much much more.

It was a decent movie, but nothing spectacular. I'm kind of surprised it's getting as good of reviews as it is.
