This. If this is what Netflix is doing with my money, rather than making House of Cards season 3, they don't fucking deserve it!
Kevin Spacey playing Kevin Spacey for the 4564th time is ten times more unbearable than any Sandler shit

Didn't your mom ever tell you two wrongs don't make a right? The existence of one terrible actor does no preclude the existence of another.

Interesting. A subjective opinion that is nevertheless objectively, observably, and eminently wrong.

Just how the fuck did you do that?

watched this last weekend with my wife and some others, and was very surprised how much i enjoyed the movie. everyone liked it a lot more than they expected to. just a very well done movie that was a lot of fun. i loved the scenery too. i haven't seen 50 first dates since it was new, but i liked this movie more than i remember liking that movie.

EDIT:

not surprised most of the posts in this thread are people bashing a movie they haven't seen.

Hmmm.. Lets see. The narcissistic, cynical, manipulative smart-ass. The same rolling of eyes. The same facial expressions. The same voice, even the same fucking tone. Could go and on about his "acting".

All of his actual acting talent got dumped into Punch Drunk Love.

As much as I love that movie, I'm not going to call Sandler's performance "acting talent." He was being himself, and it just so happens that being himself was the perfect thing for that role.

Rename title to Blended Diarrhea. Trailer starts off in Hooters, rehash from Big Daddy. Same old crap, fail.

Adam Sandler is like that friend. That all your friends tell you to stop hanging out with, but you ignore them simply because the two of you have had some great times in the past together. But the more you hang out with him, the more you start to realize that they were right.

Oh Adam, what happened to you?

My son wanted to see this movie for some reason so we ordered it on PPV and watched it recently. It was enjoyable... not entirely worthless anyway.

All true, and yet still worlds better than Sandler.

Whatever happened to Mike Myers? One bad movie and he's out? I mean come on. Adam here churns out filth constantly and he still gets more work.

Netflix has got the movie theaters worried

Why the Adam Sandler deal with Netflix could doom theaters

Regal Cinemas said it will “not participate in an experiment where you can see the same product on screens varying from three stories tall to three inches wide on a smartphone.”

“We believe the choice for truly enjoying a magnificent movie is clear,” said Russ Nunley, spokesman for Regal Cinemas, which operates 7,341 screens in 573 theaters in the United States.

Yes we all truly enjoy the $5 soda and $8 popcorn.

He is right though. The only more enjoyable movie watching experience than a theater, is an IMAX theater. I see a lot of movies, because I enjoy seeing them in theaters. Sadly (for them), I don't enjoy paying $15 for popcorn and a drink after already spending $25 on two tickets, so I don't buy their money making items: concessions.

People take their childhood icons seriously. We will never get another live action Dr. Suess movie because of Cat in the Hat.
Sandler still delivers at the box office (how did Jack and Jill make $150m?). Love Guru didn't.
