Good story, Not enough for a whole film
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
View Moreif their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
View MoreI think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
View MoreAll you media/internet snobs and slobs; have really done it this time. The only reason I do not like this movie is because I can not rent it in RedBox. This is a great movie! 10 stars plus; fools! Like this movie; you all gave That's My Boy a bad score, too. In fact almost the exact same score as this movie. What is wrong with the closed minded internet/media? The closed minded internet/media; is the reason we are a one party dictatorship, country. That's my boy is one of my favorite all time movies. I could watch That's My Boy 100 times; and still not get sick of it! What is wrong with you people? Just thinking of how absurd it would be for someone to lust after wrinkled old people; is funny enough to make this move the best comedy of the year. Yeah young guys have a thing for older women: but that just fades away. The movie trying to make it a addiction of some kind, to lust after old people; is awesomely funny. I remember the first time I felt old skin, as a child; it almost made me puke! That's My Boy is so cool. Just seeing Vanilla Ice, Ice, Baby staring with Adam Sandler in this movie, riding in the same Mustang as the music video; is enough to make it a 10 star movie. Man that car looks so lame today. Just thinking we thought that Mustang was cool back then; like old see through wrinkled skin, old people; it is gross looking.Back to Sandy Wexler. Does anyone even know this movie is a tribute to Sandy Wernick? Sandy Wernick; was the producer of Adam Sandler for the two great movies, Happy Gilmore (executive producer), and The Wedding Singer (executive producer). You know what I like about Sandy Wernick? Like me he does not have a Wikipedia web page. There is someone that calls himself Radman on Wikipedia and he is a graffiti artist and I am not and never have been. Thanks Wikipedia. If you have ever worked on a movie; you see why the movie Sandy Wexler is so great. It is a very strange business to say the least. I could definitely see how a person like Sandy Wernick could exist. The cameos in this movie; are one the greatest I have ever seen in a movie. When you give this movie a bad score you are giving all the greats that cameo this movie a bad score. The occasional appearance of the comedy great Nick Swardson is so funny it makes the whole movie funny. I remember when the dynamite movie: Napoleon Dynamite (2004) came out. People would say they thought it was dumb. My first question was did you watch it to the end? Da; no of course not, it was too dumb to watch the whole thing. The end of the movie Napoleon Dynamite; where Jon Heder dances, makes the whole movie, a chillingly remembrance of a movie. I am partial to Napoleon Dynamite because I made movies in college too. The movie was based on a movie made as a college project. Kind of like the movie Sandy Wexler(2017) the whole movie is so stupid it is funny.The movie has such a cool ending; where the character Sandy Wexler sings in front of all those entertainment greats, in that white room; tops this movie off and gets er done. That song will make this movie stay with you fondly forever. Isn't that what a 10 star movie is all about? This is a must see movie; if there ever was one. Especially if you ever worked in the entertainment business in any way.
View MoreSandy Wexler does a admirable job at trying to be a Sandler style comedy. The problem is it's not at all funny and barely hits mildly amusing over all. Doesn't stop me from willing them together all the same. But that's because I'm a sucker for that kinda happy ending.It's a story with a good heart supported by a supporting cast whom most people under 35 wouldn't recognise if they hadn't seen most of Mr Sandlers previous comedies. Its a smattering of who used to be current and occasionally funny, those who've starred along Adam before and other faces from that period collecting a cheque. Adam has always been fantastic at getting his friends work. I can't really see that as a bad thing.It's Billy Madison, Bobby Bouher and Little Nicky roled together as another character not worthy of Sandlers actual acting chops. Do yourself a favour and watch Regin Over Me if haven't already. Not a comedy but a drama that isn't only my favourite Adam Sandler work but in my top 20 all time best films.Sandy Wexler is just another example of an actor either not able or willing to live to his potential. That's either The Bizz's fault or by Adam's own choice.I'll keep watching his films hoping to climpse another few moments of that magic I know he's more capable of. This effort warmed my cockels but failed to make any sort of real impression.
View MoreI really liked it,light and sweet and not as crude as some of his other films,a bit hard to get into at the beginning but this movie rewards your perseverance,worth a watch,he starts of with that trade mark voice which can be bit grating but it softens over the course of the film,this is the best of his Netflix films and the star cameos are fun.
View MoreNot sure whether Sandler actually watches himself in these awful films he seems intent on making lately. The premise seems to be: find the stupidest character with the most annoying voice you can, get a weak and pointless story and make a movie that should not even go straight to TV. Netflix needs to be a bit more selective with their film choices.....what a load of absolute rubbish!
