Say what you will about Adam Sandler (and I have, at great
length in past reviews), but his collaborative deal with Netflix might be one
of the smartest decisions he’s ever made. After all, his films have become so
egregiously not-worth-paying-cinema-ticket-prices-for that pairing them up with
thousands of other, better films as part of a monthly subscription is the
closest he’s gonna get to having an audience again. Okay, over 2017, he showed
some definite signs of improvement, so maybe this film will benefit from that.
Well, it kinda does and it kinda doesn’t.
