Folk tales speak of the rarest of wedding day blessings—a surprise visit from famous Saturday Night Live alumni. Referenced in the continuing tradition of throwing rice, which has long been known to attract this elusive species, every couple dreams that they may be graced with the unexpected appearance of a curious…

Adam Sandler has so many regular and semi-faceless collaborators that it can be virtually impossible to discern their influences and whether they’re positive or negative. Is Tim Herlihy his best screenwriting partner, or just another occasionally funny yes-man who got lucky? Does Dennis Dugan know more about comic…

Daniel Day-Lewis may have retired after Phantom Thread, but director Paul Thomas Anderson is already back—sort of. According to Splitsider, Netflix has confirmed that Anderson was behind the camera for at least some of an upcoming special from Adam Sandler, who worked with Anderson on 2002's Punch-Drunk Love. Steven…

Though he’s already re-upped his production deal with Netflix, thereby allowing him to hang out with his friends David Spade and Kevin James some more, Adam Sandler is still considering projects made by people other than himself. As Indiewire reports, the actor-producer is following up his well-received performance in …

Lately, a lot of movies have centered on famous friends getting into big fights, like Captain America: Civil War, Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice, and now Netflix’s The Week Of. Unlike those first two examples, though, The Week Of is less about two men punching each other over simple misunderstandings and more…

Just about every movie by Noah Baumbach (Kicking And Screaming, Frances Ha) is a study of prickly personalities. But with The Meyerowitz Stories (New And Selected), which arrives in select theaters and on Netflix tomorrow, the New York writer-director creates a whole family tree of neurotics, then populates it with…

Harold Meyerowitz, the unsung artist and shitty father Dustin Hoffman plays in The Meyerowitz Stories (New And Selected), is a fresh addition to Noah Baumbach’s ever-expanding gallery of neurotic, narcissistic New Yorkers. One could be forgiven, however, for confusing him for the older, squatter version of a different…

A new Adam Sandler movie arrives on Netflix this week. This is not a notable event; even the comedian’s aged base of die-hard fans may have grown accustomed to Sandler vehicles showing up in their living rooms with the same semi-clockwork regularity that they used to land in mall multiplexes—and leaning more heavily…

This year, Forbes’ list of the highest-paid actresses indicated that totals were down across the board, with top-earner Emma Stone making $26 million in 2017 as compared to Jennifer Lawrence’s $46 million in 2016, but—unsurprisingly—things are still looking really good for the men of Hollywood. According to the man…

Sunday is the final day of Cannes, but for yours truly, the festival ends in a couple hours, with a flight from Nice to New York. It’s been a great time: a blur of movies, hastily consumed lunches, leisurely consumed late-night dinners, long and scenic walks into town (and back), feverish debates while standing in…

According to Deadline, Netflix has lined up its next Adam Sandler movie, and this one will have a slightly more impressive pedigree than just Sandler himself. The film is called The Week Of, and it will star Chris Rock alongside Sandler, with Triumph The Insult Comic Dog’s dad Robert Smigel directing. The Week Of will…

Welcome to Random Roles, wherein we talk to actors about the characters who defined their careers. The catch: They don’t know beforehand what roles we’ll ask them to talk about.

They’ve never been critical favorites, but remember when Adam Sandler movies used to be kind of a big deal? Even given the usual Happy Madison stable of filmmakers and performers, keep in mind who has appeared in cameo or even co-starring roles in those movies: Jack Nicholson was in Anger Management. Reese Witherspoon…

Ensuring that it doesn’t get left behind in the ”stories about affluent white folks struggling with daddy issues” arms race, Netflix has announced that it’s picking up Noah Baumbach’s latest film for its online streaming library. Baumbach recently finished work on Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected), which sees Ben…

There are good Adam Sandler movies (The Wedding Singer, Punch-Drunk Love, Reign Over Me, Funny People) and bad Adam Sandler movies (almost everything else). While his cinematic track record may be hit or miss, apparently Adam Sandler is having a hard time swaying the members of his own household to the positive side…

Realizing that he can just keep releasing his movies directly to The People, bypassing those pesky critics and box office numbers, for pretty much the rest of his career, Adam Sandler has announced that he’s extending his film deal with Netflix for another four movies. “Love working with Netflix and collaborating with…

Despite being hated by critics at the time of its release (22 years ago last month), Billy Madison has achieved a certain nostalgic glow over time, both as one of the purest expressions of Adam Sandler’s rampaging id and long-spent cinematic energy, and as a thing that today’s younger adults watched a shit-ton of back…
