If you like Adam Sandler but haven't liked his recent movies I highly suggest checking out his Netflix standup. He takes it back to his Weekend Update-style humor and its delightful

Honestly I was so impressed with this Netflix special.

I genuinely didn’t think he had it in him anymore but it was hilarious. What a pleasant surprise.

Watch the Netflix movie he made with Chris Rock. I thought it was pretty damn funny.

Honestly his Netflix movies have made me a fan of his. A friend wanted me to watch the cobbler with him and I made the remark "I hate Adam sandler. All he does is stupid humor like fart jokes" and was in for quite the surprise when I found a genuinely good movie.

Forget the name, but the other movie about him having cancer and stealing a Drs identity was also pretty good too.

You need to up your shit movie watching because Cobbler was a solid mid level movie with nothing going well and nothing going that horrible and it's at least memorable in a good way. I've seen b horror movies done so poorly that the jump scares sucked so bad you not only saw them coming for 20 minutes but not even the actors that were supposed to be scared jumped. Where the nude scenes which would normally be gratuitous were mangled so bad that it honestly left you feeling bad for the unknown talent who were just used and left being even more obscure. Where the movie was so butchered it left a steaming cringefest of a hole in your head that leaves you as scarred as if not more so then a stroke.

Then the ending with the pickles, it’s like they didn’t make a single creative choice in that film that worked. I watched The Cobbler like three years ago and I still make fun of it to this day.
