HUSTLE – Review by T.J. Callahan

May 31, 2022June 2, 2022 T. J. Callahan adam sandler, basketball, ben foster, hustle, Juancho Hernangomez, queen latifah

Adam Sandler is trying to pull one over on us in Hustle. The 5’9” out of shape funny man is playing a former basketball player at Temple — #22, the Double Deuce, who’s career ended after an unfortunate accident stopped him from hooping and left him to forge a rather lengthy career as a scout for the Philadelphia 76ers, Hustle is fast paced, predictable and crowd pleasing. The Waterboy finally grew up to be the coach. He turns up the witty charm despite having no chemistry with Latifah, who plays his wife.

UNCUT GEMS – Review by Susan Granger

December 18, 2019 Susan Granger 0 Comments adam sandler, safdie brothers, uncut gems

the vivid vulgarity is so repetitive that it ceases to be shocking, the chaotic plot is predictable and Daniel Lopatin’s aggressive, pulse-pounding synthetic score is too damn loud! Since Adam Sandler has previously focused his psychotic energy on goofy, childish comedy, it’s perhaps remarkable how he’s morphed into this totally self-indulgent, utterly contemptable scumbag. But spending two hours in his irritating company is sheer agony.
