Oh Netflix, we don’t know what to think of you. On the one hand, you’re bankrolling films by Martin Scorsese and Charlie Kaufman, and bringing bold storytelling in documentaries, television and more to a global audience. But then, you’re also financing Adam Sandler‘s continued career of making cheap movies with his friends. In fairness, the Netflix audience is huge, but we still can’t help but be amazed at how shoddy these Sandler movies look.
Reuniting him with “Grown Ups” pal Chris Rock, and enlisting Rachel Dratch and Steve Buscemi, “The Week Of” is thankfully (?) not a parody of “The Night Of.” Instead, it’s your standard wedding comedy where the two Dads of the betrothed just can’t get along. Haven’t seen that before! Here’s the official synopsis:
The comedy tells the story of two fathers who are polar opposites (Adam Sandler and Chris Rock) and the dysfunctional hilarity that ensues when their families come together to celebrate the wedding of their children. They are forced to spend the longest week of their lives together and the big day could not come soon enough.
Directed by Robert Smigel, who co-wrote the script with Adam Sandler, “The Week Of” hits Netflix on April 27th.
