Maybe it's due to wishful thinking and I think that he might churn out something halfway decent for once, or maybe it's because I miss 90's Sandler so much and I hope that he'll give us something more along the lines of Happy Gilmore, Big Daddy, Billy Madison, The Waterboy, etc. Well, with this third outing with Sandler and Netflix, I must report that this movie surprisingly fell into the category of the former: It amazingly did turn out to be halfway decent in my opinion, but certainly doesn't come anywhere near his best and funniest 90's efforts, as mentioned above. However, like I said before, the film was surprisingly a small step above Sandler and Netflix's previous two films together, "The Do-Over" and "The Ridiculous 6", which were both some of Sandler's absolute worst. On the plus side, the film has a lot more sweet and well-meaning moments in it than most of Sandler's recent outings, which was quite unexpected. The cast assembled, which includes Sandler's usual entourage consisting of Kevin James, Rob Schneider, Kevin James, Nick Swardson, etc., along with the presence of Jennifer Hudson, and some other notable cameos throughout kept things somewhat interesting. However, on the downside, it does rely quite heavily and obviously on the usual Sandler comedy formula that's been heavily diluted into every single movie of his pretty much. Overall, if you're like me and you're still holding out hope for Sandler with every new movie he makes, certainly don't hold your breath on this one. I'm just somewhat relieved that this wasn't as near as painful to watch as "The Do-Over" and "The Ridiculous 6" were, which, again, isn't saying much, but if you're still holding out hope for Sandler, take that for what it's worth.

The 90s Hollywood from a manager's perspective!

It seems the Americans desperate, deliberate hate towards Adam Sandler, Michale Bay et cetera never going to calm down, even they have started to give good films. That's an unfortunate mindset
The 90s Hollywood from a manager's perspective!

It seems the Americans desperate, deliberate hate towards Adam Sandler, Michale Bay et cetera never going to calm down, even they have started to give good films. That's an unfortunate mindset from the west. While the rest of the world enjoying these guys films without prejudice. This is not Sandlers best, but a better one. Initially, it annoyed me to see the Sandler with the same old accent. But seeing the some of the scenes, it actually made sense. I especially thought it should have been a serious drama, but then it would haven't worked out with the kind of characters it had. Particularly the Kevin James.

It is a 90s tale about a Hollywood manager. Narrated as a flashback as the film stars recall his legacy. His latest find, a young woman with a golden voice, is an upcoming sensation. He always stood for her in all the good and bad situations. But time comes he to back off and focus on his other clients. The remaining is about his job, how it shapes are told. I have heard that it was loosely based on Sandler's own manager. I also liked cameos, particularly Rikishi! A long film. But I liked it at the end. It is an okay film. Those who hate Sandler should stay away and let the rest of the guys enjoy it.

6.5/10

It's just a T.V movie, as same as most of Adam Sandler movies that composed of silly and funny jokes.

While the movie provides a fair share of absurd humor, Sandy Wexler fails to entertain minimally.
