INTRODUCTION: So I’m only watching this because MJF is in it. It really doesn’t need a sequel, like most of Adam’s movies, because they all interchangeably the same. Man child with metal impairment tries to make people laugh. The only one that’s let laughing is normally Sandler himself with his large bags of money.

PLOT: Adam Sandler, desperate for relevancy, revives unneeded character for Netflix.

CHARACTERS: Fuck the returning cast. We’re going to look at the newbies.

Some of the newer rookie characters could been slightly better developed, but otherwise it’s not horrible. Becky lynch being the least interesting of the characters.

ACTING: Mostly excellent. MJF was excellent, even in such a small role. Becky Lynch acting is almost as good as her Jeopardy episode. lol

DIALOGUE: excellent.

HUMOR: Dated and cliche Adam Sandler stuff, but it works.

FX: really good for a comedy

MUSIC: excellent.

SUBTEXT: none.

CONCLUSION: A sequel no one needed, and no one asked for. However, unlike anything since his movie like Grown Ups has Adam Sandler really managed to recover from, in my mind, a failing career. However, this movie pretty much turns that around and gives Adam Sandler movie the old charm of the 90s original, but matures it in a new way. Even changing some old tropes on its head in the process. Really heartfelt and beautiful. Sandler in top form.

3.5 out of 5 stars.
