Forums - Movies & TV - Netflix boss defends giving Adam Sandler money to make awful films | 'The two movies premiered at No. 1 in every single territory of Netflix around the world'

I agree with him, Adam Sandler has a lot of appeal still, and I personally watvhed both movies at the Netflix premiere date.
That said, Do Over is a little better, but both movies are bad. But Sony big blockbuster´ Ghostbusters is much much worst, so, bad comedies are not the exception, they are the norm.
Adam is a funny guy, they should give him a series or something.
Also, everything that comes up eventually goes down, and Adam almost reached for the stars man, I remember a less cynical time when he was a synonim with comedy, not too long ago, mind you: the Wedding Singer, The Water Boy, Billy Madison... He is in the end of his road, but I tell you that I have seem much worst falls...
And he is a good actor also, see Funny People and Drunk-Punch-Love, so, he could very well be even in normal movies or something.
Have him made bad comedies? Oh yes, but the comedian who neved did shall throw the first stone: Jim Carrey, Louis CK, Chris Rock, they all made stinkers.
So, for some reason Adam Sandler is now the favorite target of the internet SJWs and Youtubers, but deep down we all know that his crimes are not worst than the crimes of all the other comedians.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

i always hated adam sandler. i dont know how people consider him funny. after his netflix deal ends, i doubt anyone will pick him up.

What is he going to do? The poor man has only 340 millions dollars in the bank.

he can have trillions for all i care. i just want him to stop making movies. 

 

pixels was such a wasted opportunity.

Why? Does it hurt you when he stars in a movie? Does someone comes to your home with a gun and point it at your head to force you to watch it?

Just ignore it. Yes It would be nice if they were better, but there is plenty of great comedies out there.



I didn't mind the do over. It was shit but entertaining.



There's only 2 races: White and 'Political Agenda'
2 Genders: Male and 'Political Agenda'
2 Hairstyles for female characters: Long and 'Political Agenda'
2 Sexualities: Straight and 'Political Agenda'

I don't like the films but I know someone who does... If people still like them I don't see what there is to defend here.

because the budgets and studios could work on putting better movies out. as i said pixels had a great concept. and ultimatly adam sandler killed it.

It does hurt me, because it sets a trend that many will follow. This way they will mostly pour in money and waste tallent on crappy movies. Sandler is horrible. He didnt manage to get out something remotely funny for 15 years or so, but he will still make garbage like these because it still has a huge audience. Pretty sad, if you ask me.

crappy movies have always been part of the industry, and always will be, so does crappy music, crappy restaurants, crappy games, crappy everything.

It's just how it is, if Adam Sandler had never existed, there would still be someone else making crappy movies.

He didn't kill it, he didn't write or direct the damn thing. He didn't  do everything by himself... Putting everything on his shoulders is kind of ridiculous.



I hope they do more with Ricky Gervais.
