That looks terrible. It's like he took all his 90s characters, threw them in a blender, and decided to place the product - with heavy emphasis on the Water Boy - in a 90s period piece. I didn't even get a chuckle.

I get the feeling that one of Sandler's buddies bet him that he couldn't make a movie where he used a voice more annoying than Little Nicky. The result: Sandy Wexler.

The people that hate this, just remember, the more Direct to Netflix movies he does, the fewer that make it into theaters.

I'd cancel my Netflix account on principal if I didn't fear my wife (who loves their cooking shows and sitcoms, not Adam Sandler of course).

I'm fine with this deal for one simple reason : I had to watch dozens of painful ads for movies like Blended and Jack & Jill on TV. They were inescapable. Now I'm blissfully unaware of the content - even when I browse Netflix.
If his fans can find and enjoy his work and I don't have to be subjected to any of it, everyone wins.

I've seen both The Do Over and The Cobbler. They are fine for what they are.

The Cobbler wasn't part of the deal, that was a pre-deal flop of a movie.

Fair point. What I mean is that if you go into them expecting 90 minutes of decently paced entertainment with some mildly funny jokes and a few fart jokes you will be pleased.

I was wrong about the Cobbler, I guess I just saw it on NetFlix. I did see the Ridiculous 6 and again, it was fine. Forgettable but fine.

Sandy Wexler is up on Netflix.

It's a Happy Madison movie. But it's played more straight and less absurd than any of his other movies. I'm guessing most of it is based on some kind of real events from Sandy Wernick. Sandy's character is quite fun to watch.

Best part is when Sandy awkwardly lies himself out of everything. And everyone just kind of accepts it.

That poor raccoon.

No Sandy Wexler talk? Now I know how you Trump supporters feel in the Politics forum.

Also, Arsenio aged, like, two years since 1994.

I'm not sure if "enjoying" is the word I would use in that sentence.

If Christopher Nolan is allowed to continue to make movies why not Adam Sandler?

Because Nolan's still make money - but I guess it's hard to judge that when Sandler's films are straight to Netflix.

I wonder if Sandy Wexler was trying to set a record for celebrity cameos.
