‘Blended’: You’ve seen this Adam Sandler movie before

This is a day I never thought would come and it makes me sad. But I think I’ve outgrown Adam Sandler. Yes, I know, there is probably some rule that says I “have to” hate Adam Sandler movies as a movie critic. But I’ve always liked his movies. At least I used to.blended

Does this mean I’ve grown up. Or does this mean Sandler just hasn’t. Yeah, he usually plays some sort of “family man” in his movies now, but it just seems like he’s clinging unnecessarily to his immaturity. My main problem with “Blended” is that it just seems like he took a highlight reel of jokes from better movies and wrote them into this script.

Check out my latest appearance on Kansas City Live!, where I review “X-Men Days of Future Past”, “Blended”, and “Chef”. Be sure to stick around for the whole video not only to see Toothless on the KCL set, but also to see me wearing a way-too-small viking helmet.

‘That’s My Boy’ (2012) review; 100 Movies in 90 Days

#25 of 100 on my 100 Movies I’ve Never Seen Before Challenge (part II)

What happened to Adam Sandler? Is he getting worse or am I just getting older? I think it might be a combination of both. Either way, I just am not feeling his movies lately. Hell, I didn’t even see “Jack and Jill”. Seriously? Adam Sandler playing some dude AND his ugly sister. Um. No thanks. Sadly, I didn’t like “Grown Ups” either. It just seems like he’s trying to hard to either make a family movie or act like a complete nut job. Continue reading ‘That’s My Boy’ (2012) review; 100 Movies in 90 Days →
