Movie Review: Wayans & Sandler are funny and talented - but not in this movie
Summary: 2 Stars
This has to be one of the worst movies I ever saw. I should have known by it's release date - September - I was in for less than a treat. That's after all of the summer blockbusters have been released and before the academy award possibilities start cropping up in October/November. And remember, 1996 was the year that the word "blockbuster" was defined by unwatchable schlock such as Independence Day and Twister.
Jack Keats (Damon Wayons) is an undercover cop posing as a car thief in order to get information from a real car thief, Archie Moses (Adam Sandler). The two have actually developed a kind of friendship during the time they are working together. After gaining his trust, Moses offers to introduce Keats to his boss, drug kingpin Frank Colton (James Caan). Keats jumps at the chance to home in on bigger criminal game. Thus as Keats is meeting Colton for the first time, the police appear on the scene to make their arrests in the case. In the resulting chaos, Keats is shot in the head. Keats has a slow but sure recovery. On the bright side, he falls in love with the woman who helps him recover. On the negative side, he now has a metal plate in his head. Afterwards, when he is back on duty, Keats is assigned to escort Moses back to testify against his former employer Colton, a situation neither one is looking forward to. Keats is angry because thanks to Moses he has a metal plate in his head, and Moses is angry because Keats lied to him over the entire year that he thought they were friends and colleagues. This movie seems to be going for the buddy/road film angle, with the exception of the fact that Keats and Moses run into a series of attempts on their lives since Colton, the big drug kingpin, is out to kill them both. This forces them to work together to figure out why their every move seems to be known by Colton before they even make it. In the end, the identity of the informant that is helping Colton is not surprising, and Keats must face a little betrayal of his own.
Both Wayans and Sandler can be very funny if given the right material, but neither has anything particularly funny to do or say here, since the material they are working with is totally lacking in the imagination and genuine humor that could have exploited the talents of the two leading men. Avoid at all cost. The only reason I remember this movie over ten years later is (a) it is incredibly bad even for a "man movie" and (b) my husband insisted we go see it.
Movie Review: I'm Adam Sandler's fan, but not this time!
Summary: 2 Stars
Don't waste your money on this one. The number of reviews for this movie indicates that this wasn't his best... Damon Wayans knows what comedy is all about, but not here. Adam didn't provide the laughs this time... Watch once and never look back! Poorly presented on DVD (Universal Pictures)...You can find other reviews by me to other releases by Adam Sandler.
Movie Review: This is not a kids 2 Stars
I don't know how this ended up in the family kids section. This is definately not a kids movie.Movie Review: Barely Funny.
Summary: 1 Stars
This is Sandler's only bad movie, as far as I'm concerned with the possible exception of Going Overboard (early unknown film). Number one the teaming of Wayans and Sandler did not work at all. You can also tell that Sandler's sense of humor did not have a lot of control in this. Sandler fans like myself will try anything once and this one was definitely a one timer. A tip for the SANDLER COLLECTION (3pack DVD including Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, and Bulletproof), dont get it, Bulletproof shouldnt be in the collection and was probably only put there to make it seem essential. Buy Happy and Billy, then buy Waterboy instead!Movie Review: S-U-C-K-E-D
Summary: 1 Stars
This movie is a terrible movie, worst Adam Sandler movie ---ever--- first of all Sandler isnt meant to play serious roles like that because he usually plays funny guys like in Water boy Mr. Deeds, Big Daddy and all the other ones. Sure its PAcked with Explosions and Gun Fights but Sandler just doesnt fit there you know. BUT RELLY THE MOVIE ISNT THAT BAD......the cassette could be used as a leg in a broken stool or something?
