To say that The Ridiculous 6 is art is to spit in the face of The Ridiculous 6, for the Ridiculous 6 transcends art in its hilarity.

The movie has a fairly simple premise as White Knife (Adam Sandler) goes on an adventure with his 5 brothers played by some absolutely hilarious actors. This 119 minute masterpiece had be giggling like a small baby that i kidnapped and put in my basement. With this beautiful movie, which transcends all emotions and even life itself, Sandler has forever put himself on a high and might chariot soaring above bad film makers like Kubrick, Fincher and Scorsese. This movie has a single flaw, and that flaw is the lack of Kevin James as Paul Blarts great great great great great grandpa Graul Blart. With Graul Blart the Paul Blart canon would be tied with The Ridiculous 6 forever making the most perfect series of movies ever knows to man Expand

Hateful, self loathing critics just need to realize Adam Sandler is just making silly, funny movies to entertain people. That's all. So all you critics out there just try to sit back and relax and maybe laugh if can find it in your cynical, shriveled black hearts to do so.

Almost every scene has something to have you smiling and laughing about. Everyone in this cast does their job. Everyone in the "Ridiculous 6" is funny from the moment you first meet them. Not all the joke are super funny but most of them are. If your looking for a smart witty, sorry no not here. This is more of your sit back and lets not take life so serious kind of movie. Expand

I feel compelled to write a review about Ridiculous 6 just to counter all the negative ones that people are writing lately. Adam Sandler has been getting routinely lambasted by people who just don't seem to understand that he's not going toI feel compelled to write a review about Ridiculous 6 just to counter all the negative ones that people are writing lately. Adam Sandler has been getting routinely lambasted by people who just don't seem to understand that he's not going to change. His form of comedy is still aligned to his fans. In short, Adam Sandler will be Adam Sandler.

In a social climate where writers are too cautioned to tell any kind of stereotypical joke, Sandler comes in swinging with South Park tenacity. He may not be as witty as the Stone and Parker combination, but it hardly comes across as racist. It's too easy to call things racist today, and that word is being flung around too much lately that it's lost all meaning. The characters are diverse, and everyone gets it, including white people. You won't find many critics ever bringing that part up, either. The narrative is that this movie is "racist" towards Native Americans.

Now, this is far from the best Adam Sandler movie he's made, but it's also far, far from the worst he or his studio has made (Strange Wilderness receives that accolade from me). It's framed as a Western parody, but it flows like your average Sandler film. A huge cast peppered with Sandler regulars such as David Spade and Rob Schneider deliver silly jokes and slapstick bits. The humor tends to go a little past my threshold for crude humor at times (a donkey with explosive diarrhea for example) but also has some outrageously hilarious moments like a botched hanging of Taylor Lautner.

Speaking of Lautner, he honestly has stolen the spotlight of this film. He plays a slow-minded but innocent-spirited half brother (of which all six of the Ridiculous 6 are of relation) to Sandler and this is just a career defining moment for him. It's a goofball role that ranks right up there with other actors who've cut loose like Duane Johnson, Justin Timberlake and Brad Pitt. Honestly, the aforementioned botched hanging was one of the funniest scenes for me.

To be honest, though, there are two points constantly brought up in the negative reviews that I agree with. First point is that Sandler's acting is simply limp. The character he is trying to for perform just isn't very enthusiastic, It's not that it's designed to be that way; you can just tell he isn't putting any energy into it. It's not that bothersome to me, though, because the movie is put on the shoulders of its supporting cast., which again, is quite large. The second point is that it's about 30 minutes too long. There are many skits, including a scene with John Turturro and the origin of baseball, that don't really serve the story's progression. As a result, some scenes lose a bit of comedic impact because they feel like filler.

If you don't like Adam Sandler, you're obviously not going to enjoy this movie. Good, because it's not made for you. Instead, this is a pure Sandler film through and through and if you've been a long time Sandler fan, there's little chance you're going to be disappointed by it. If you're one of those Sandler fans that loved his older work and wished he could return to that era, your only option is to give it a try. Good news if you're already a Netflix subscriber: it won't cost you a cent more to watch it. Give it a shot.

If you go in and believe that he's out there to insult... that's on you. People that understand logic thought can tell you that this movie is funny. People just love to hate Sandler these days because he's not putting out Happy Gilmore quality movies....well hell, that was almost 20 years ago. Time to let it go and be happy he's still out there making people laugh. Everyone I know that has watched this film has loved every minute and don't understand where people are getting their panties in a wad. Face it people... if you don't laugh at this, you don't understand humor. The 'in your face' jokes, the friends joke, the inside jokes (between actors), genre jokes...list goes on. there is so much to this movie that all people care about is if it makes a few people... hate this phrase, 'BUTT HURT" over nonsense. If you think it's being insulting to the native Indians... what about the being insulting to WHITE PEOPLE for having us use that language towards them? Oh wait... that's how they use to talk back in the day. Political Correct people need to shut the hell up and just ENJOY what's out there instead of hating everything because it's 'popular' to do.

Great film. Lots of laughs. I support Sandler since his days of SNL, Billy Madison, Longest Yard, Little Nicky, Growns Ups... he has made me laugh for years and still continues to do his job with The Ridiculous 6!

I've seen a few reviews about it being a movie revolving around 6 half brothers, and some WTF moments, and the reviews are not positive. There is little suspense, a shallow plot line and some very questionable acting in places. This is most certainly not Nolan's Dark Knight, nor is it Inception, or Shutter Island.

I am not a fan of Twlight, and to see "Jacob" on the screen was not something I looked forward to. In actual fact, I should not have judged so quickly! The Ridiculous 6 played their individual roles well, fulfilling every comedy stereotype to facilitate my roaring laughter!

This, in true Happy Madison this is a feature length film of satire, humor and the story of 6 main characters in a ridiculous situation. We thoroughly enjoyed the movie, and would happily watch it again! Well played Netflix, well played Sandler.

For those who disapprove of the plotline following a group of 6 people in a ridiculous situation, perhaps next time Happy Madison and Netflix could warn you, by titling the movie appropriately. Like calling it the Extraordinary Half Dozen, or the Outrageous Sextuplets, or perhaps the Ridiculous 6?

Oh...wait...hang on a second...

10/10 from me!

I don't really get the hate for this one. It's nowhere near the level of "Jack and Jill" or that "That's My Boy" and closer in quality to "You Don't Mess With the Zohan", if not quite "Happy Gilmore" level.

It's nowhere near the level of "Jack and Jill" or that "That's My Boy" and closer in quality to "You Don't Mess With the Zohan", if not quite "Happy Gilmore" level. I thought this was well-shot, decently acted, harmless fun for the most part, and unlike most recent Adam Sandler films, this one actually had something resembling a story, plus his performance as a knife-wielding purveyor of mystical **** is actually kind of badass. The script isn't written by Shakespeare, but it's serviceable and let's be real, we're talking about Sandler here. I was actually pleasantly surprised by the cohesiveness of the story. As one might expect from a Happy Madison production, not all of the jokes hit their targets, but that doesn't mean there aren't some memorable sequences. It was great seeing Harvey Keitel onscreen again. Terry Crews pulls off every reaction shot perfectly, proving his comedy chops, and Taylor Lautner goes all out in portraying the dumb brother with a heart of gold. Rob Schneider has some fun moments, too, though Luke Wilson and Jorge Garcia are somewhat under-utilized. John Turturro's sequence as Abner Doubleday is a standout that points out how the rules of baseball seem totally arbitrary. But it's Vanilla Ice as Mark Twain that steals the show IMO. I would normally give this film a 7 but I'm giving it an 8 to counter-balance all the negative reviews. Seriously, did the people who hated this really find nothing enjoyable at all? The gorgeous cinematography and decent soundtrack? The respectful treatment of the Apache? I'm not a fan of most of Sandler's filmography, but this was not a bad or unwatchable movie by any metrics. In fact I'd say it's something of a return to form for him. Expand

The cast were great, and the set pieces were pretty impressive. I laughed on more than a few occasions (the baseball scene and the bank-robbing montage in particular) and I really don't see why everybody thinks it's so racist. Sure, there were a few scenes that might seem kind of offensive, but overall, there wasn't anything as racist as Rob Schneider pretending to be a Native American in "Bedtime Stories". Some of the jokes were a bit gross, but there were still more laughs than the average Sandler flick. So overall, The Ridiculous 6 isn't for everyone, but it's still a fun movie, and one of the better recent Happy Madison films. Just lighten up and enjoy. Expand

However it manages to stay thoroughly amusing throughout. Well, provided you enjoy the humor these Happy Madison films usually contain that is. Even with a partnership with Netflix and a western setting, Sandler's latest doesn't break any new ground as far as the humor is concerned.

It's still very much a Sandler film. There are a few bits of extra added vulgarity/raunchiness to some moments, but for the most part it's exactly what you would expect from the actor at this point. That should really tell you all you need to know. If you're a Sandler fan like I am then there is enough here to keep you amused during it's runtime. If you aren't a fan, then just know that there isn't anything here that will change your mind. It's got the same humor that's been a turn off for you for years now.

So as for those of us who still have a taste for the often immature and goofy sense of humor Sandler film's containe, this Netflix original is going to be worth a watch. The cast and cameos will keep you laughing in this entertaining adventure. The setting helps give it an extra dose of energy, allowing for some inventive scenarios. So if you're a fan give it a watch. It's a pretty great comedy. If you aren't a fan, then movie along. This is one movie you aren't going to want to saddle up for. As for me, I personally can't wait to see what Sandler and Netflix are planning next.

Or in other words, bad movies that you end up loving. In the first half hour of the movie, I thought I was in for another Adam Sandler bomb. But lo and behold somewhere in the middle it won me over. Sure the jokes are lowbrow and crude, but the point is what else is doing this type of humor now? Sometimes you just want to chuckle along with the good natured idiots in the film and go along for the ride. By the end you realize that the writing is not half bad and the plot ties itself up nice and tidy. That's more than can be said for some major blockbuster films out there!

Good job Sandler and crew for pulling off what I predict will be a cult classic in several years. It's good to see some of the old faces. Plus there's surprise cameos. Vanilla Ice is actually pretty funny. Just grab a beer, fire up a joint, put grin on your face, expect crude jokes and have fun!

And to all the "real critics" out there on their mountain of hubris, too "proud" to do anything but dismiss this flick, well, have fun being a grumpy ass!

Because some times you have to do that. And discover that a "horrible" movie is not so terrible after all. Sandler bent over backward to create this rather off-the-wall comedy piece, he knew would probably receive slapback. Obviously many critic haters forgot how to laugh. This movie is hysterical, particularly because Sandler cast the right actors in the right roles again, and the script was great. The man still has it, at his age, and he delivered. And I was never much a fan of David Spade, Rob Schneider, or Steve Zahn, but they are awesome players here. As for the "stereotyping", are people truly kidding? Look at all the classic Eastwood westerns and some of the Mel Brooks classics like Blazing Saddles, that rocked box offices in the day. Some of them were considered somewhat racial, ethic, or gender stereotype controversial, in spite being popular films. Particularly Brooks with Blazing Saddles, though the movie was a comedy, but quite hilarious. Sandler is Jewish but knows how to laugh, and at himself and his religion, the same as Brooks, who poked fun at religion in History of the World, etc. Expand
