re: Red Letter Media reviews "Jack and Jill" and destroys Adam Sandler's career

those people have way to much time on there hands. I enjoyed the star wars reviews but that one was about as painful as seeing Jack and Jill

---

It's not like these two guys do this on the side. This is their literal careers and they produce a good product.

Does the money making crappy movie scenario they described remind anyone else of that episode of 30 Rock where Jack purposely made a horrible movie starring Jenna that was still ridiculously profitable even though it would bomb in the box office?

I know 30 Rock is sometimes sly with their humor but maybe that episode was even more clever than I originally thought.

Adam Sandler is probably going to see this review. This is the type of analysis, like his Plinkett reviews, that greatly spreads. I've actually thought that Adam Sandler was all in all a good guy who just lost his comedic sensabilities. Now I see him as nothing more than a con man. Its simply ridiculous how spot on they got on this review, as always.

all Hollywood has to do is say no.

Kinda hard for them to since Adam Sandler's films make alot of money and he tends to find alot of financing for the films through product placement. Granted I think the American public is finally catching up to Sandler since none of his films have remotely met expectations this year. Maybe the time is
coming when Hollywood tries to make Adam Sandler
stop his shite when less and less people go and see his films.

Also this review made me lose alot of respect for David Letterman as well.

Watch Hangover again. The gay Chinese character only is "funny" because it hits on stereotypes of gay people and Asian people. His entire character and all the humor that stems from him is racist. One could say the same for Mike Tyson, but let's use him as the celeb cameo. Or we could say the same for Mel Gibson, but he was removed from the movie due to the protests of the fat bearded guy who makes poo-poo, "RE-TAHD" jokes. Let's not forget how Hangover is a giant infomercial for the Las Vegas tourism board and its specific casinos. Let's remember the poor, poor tiger and monkey who were injured and abused in the Hangover, lest we forget. Men who dress as women? Oh, The Hangover would NEEEEVER do that! LOL.

Every criticism they levy against Adam Sandler can be applied to The Hangover and its ilk, like Horrible Bosses.

Still, Mr Chow doesn't descend to the bottom feeding that some of Sandler's stereotypes do. Yeah he's effinite and has a small dick like Asians do, but they don't ever make him crossdress or abduct and eat a dog while performing an equation on how best took cook it. That's what Sandler would have done with Chow's character, and he may getthe actor to do that. If I remember correctly, the actor was in the zookeeper to where they may have had him do that. Granted I hate Mr Chow, but from the Sandler films I've seen, only Roland Emmerich can compare in the stereotyping.

At least Tyson adds to the plot (of the first one at least).

It doesn't mention Ceasar's Palace in every other scene in the film and has little to no importance to the plot. All it is used for is a quick one liner, which I'm sure every person who is currently working for the casino make them want to hang themselves.

They added to the plot, and the Tiger was hardly degraded.

They're in Thailand. It's their version of quick instant weddings from Vegas.

Oh really? Name one? I don't recall much product placement (only thig I can recall is a Wii), it actually had jokes that were set up over a long period of time, and while it does have a cameo by Bob Newhart, the cameo is great and hilarious, unlike Sandler's cameos dealing with sports people, his failed SNL alumni, and celebrities which add absolutely nothing to the plot. Plus Horrible Bosses and all other good recent comedies tend to be much more vulger Sandler's comedies.

When Red Letter Media makes a video telling him that then he'll agree.

quote:

The Hangover is not any better than Sandler's disposable trash

---

I at least laughed quite a bit at the Hangover, and I hated the second, but at least I didn't feel insulted by it. I agree that the first one is ok and the second sucks, but just from the previews I'd put it against any Adam Sandler film from the past 5 years (aside from Funny People).

quote:

And I'll defend 50 First Dates, which was actually a sought-after script before Sandler got it.

---

I really think 50 First Dates is the creepiest film ever made. It's made all the more creepy by the fact that it thinks it is charming. If it were some type of horror film, then it would probably be pretty great.
