I Don’t Know How Anyone Who Worked On The Racist, Misogynistic, Incestuous That’s My Boy Can Sleep At Night

I Don't Know How Anyone Who Worked On The Racist, Misogynistic, Incestuous That's My Boy Can Sleep At Night

It was only about three-quarters of the way through That’s My Boy, when my friend turned to me and said, “Wow, you look like you’re having a great time,” that I realized just how hard I had been clenching my jaw for 100 minutes. But with a movie whose premise and majority of its jokes are based on how awesome it is for a teacher to rape a 13-year-old boy… can you blame me? More »

Camp Week: Is This the Most Uncomfortable Camping Sketch Ever Made?

Camp Week: Is This the Most Uncomfortable Camping Sketch Ever Made?

Contrary to what the Jack and Jill trailer would have you believe, I remember a time when Adam Sandler at least tried to create funny characters. Then again, which campers here remember SNL‘s “Canteen Boy,” the nature-fanatic assistant scoutmaster who displayed acute characteristics of Asperger’s syndrome? To refresh your memory, most Canteen Boy sketches revolved around Sandler’s character being teased by fellow scouts for being a slow idiot. Yikes, SNL. More »

Trailer Recap: ‘Jack and Jill’

Trailer Recap: 'Jack and Jill'

I posted the trailer for the upcoming Adam Sandler vehicle Jack and Jill a little while ago, but I haven’t been able to stop thinking about how ridiculous it is, and I decided it needed a more in-depth examination.

I’ve decided this movie should be titled Tyler Perry Regifts: Jack and Jill, so let’s all call it that from now on, okay? Terrific. And how does this delightful trailer start? As a documentary about Adam Sandler who has a fancy Hollywood job and a big house and a beautiful wife, played by Katie Holmes and her thetans. But pretty soon, the video devolves into fiction: Adam’s character must pick up his sister at the airport. Adam Sandler has never picked anyone up from the airport in his life! (Okay, okay, maybe one time he picked someone up from Burbank, maybe, but this definitely looks like a miserable, traffic-filled LAX trip to me.) More »

Video: Adam Sandler’s ‘Jack and Jill’ Trailer Has to Be a Joke

Video: Adam Sandler's 'Jack and Jill' Trailer Has to Be a Joke

Jack and Jill is a lighthearted comedy about a pair of adult twin siblings. Jack is the male and Jill is the female. Both are played by Adam Sandler. Is this the end of cinema? Is this movie the sign of some media apocalypse? I dare you to watch this trailer without your mouth dropping off your face and hitting the ground with a giant splat. (Five second rule, if you still have any desire to live after watching this clip.) More »

Parting Tweet: You Get A Maserati, And You Get A Maserati

Earlier this week, the story broke that Adam Sandler had given his Grown Ups co-stars (Chris Rock, David Spade, Rob Schneider or Kevin James, in case you sat that one out) Maseratis as a thank you gift of sorts. Now it looks like he’s extending his generosity even further! Adam, we will totally On Demand that shizz if you’d like to gift us with a car. Crushable pink, please. More »
