+LordryuRevived Man, you think you can escape WWE by watching a video of two people sitting in a car talking about an Adam Sandler movie. Nope. Also in your profile picture do WWE bring back the World Heavyweight title specifically for Cesaro?
+cameron Swingle I think that's from a photo shoot that a bunch of wrestlers did posing with titles that they liked and would've wanted to hold. Paige posed with the old Women's Title, for example.
Paul Dennett Actually, I think it's a photoshopped picture where I got this image from. A bigger version of the image shows that Cesaro here is holding Mark Henry's World Heavyweight Championship.
Brad doesn't seem to understand why those Native American actors walked off the set, but he hit on it exactly with his own words "It's just the kind of thing you've seen a million times before." Native Americans see that kind of thing over and over and over. Imagine how much that sucks.
+Gena Trius I think that some of it is just not wanting to be in The Ridiculous 6. a man's gotta think about his resume. Would you really want to see The Ridiculous 6 on your IMDB page, like a low grade sex crime on your job application? Not for scale and an extra's credit. Also, it means you have to spend a day on the same set with Adam Sandler and his Happy Madison cronies while they try to be spontaneously funny and plan out their next terrible project? These are not easy conditions to work with.
+murrfeeling I don't think being attached to an Adam Sandler vehicle is necessarily bad for an actor, at least in a monetary way. Because for as panned as these movies get, they have a rather big audience, so I guess studios would cast some of his "friends" if they are looking into making a film for the same audience. And overall, if you are going to be in an Adam Sandler film you either have no other choice or don't care anyway.
+Gena Trius I know I'm the minority when I say this, but I'm Native and racial stereotypes don't really affect me. But I've got thick skin and always tell PC people to go fuck themselves, so yeah, I don't care. Not bashing anyone who does though.
I recently had a small Sandler marathon as a personal study of "The regression of Sandler movies that i halfway enjoy". Ive concluded that: "Happy Gilmore" holds up. "Big Daddy" is still very heartwarming. "Click" is mostly terrible but goddamn there is a really great dramatic movie hidden in the last third of that film. "Little Nicky" could benefit from a few script re-writes and a different lead actor, but otherwise i think it has a decent concept. "50 First Dates" is solid, even though it becomes a psych thriller in the last 5 minutes. "Funny People" is pretty great, and again, Sandler does great with his dramatic role. "That's My Boy"... yeah it's lost any appeal it once had for me. I think the quality started dropping around "Little NIcky", but took a steep downhill dive after "Click", with the occasional good film. I will give "Click" this though, Christopher Walken as the Angel of Death just feels so right. I swear, when I die, i want Death to be Christopher Walken.
"Click" is a shitty ripoff of a Goosebumps short story with *the exact same title.* "Funny People" isn't funny. It should have been called "Unfunny Stereotypical White People Doing Unfunny Stereotypical White People Things".
When you see Steve Buscemi and John Turturro, you know you're watching either Sandler or the Cohen brothers. And it's really fucking weird to see these guys roped into movie makers of such disparate quality.
I think Netflix reccomended it knowing Brad would tear it apart.Brad's bitter tone when he said he always always disliked Adam Sandler was wondeful.It warmed the cockles of my black cold heart.
I was talking to my friend about how Adam Sandler is this generation's Pauly Shore and when I reminded her who Pauly Shore is she said "Oh him every time he opened his mouth he annoyed me".
+Matthew Schenk Even if Pauly Shore is younger then Adam Sandler, Adam Sandler and Pauly Shore are the same type of comedians/actors. Just that Adam Sandler's recent work made people associate him with Pauly Shore.
I'm pretty sure the people who complain about Rey would also complain about Adam Sandler's character, but I'm pretty sure most of them know well enough to avoid this shitfest.
+Chris Gostanian People who bitch about Rey being good at stuff are fucking idiots and manchildren. Anakin had the exact same weird knack with machines and people hated on him for being a kid, and Rey's a shitload more compelling a character than he was.
I wonder if there's anyone in the house when Brad told them - Me and Violet are going to get into the car to review "The Ridiculous 6" And the other person's like: - Yeah, right, "review"...
Glad Netflix is burying this movie for you guys, because they won't fucking leave me alone about it! I swear to God this has been the "recommended movie" for everything I've watched in the past month, including movies like From Here to Eternity and the first two Bourne movies! I don't know WTF is the Adam Sandler-Jason Bourne connection, but I never want to find out!
+MontyPythonFanatic2 I've also seen it pop up on my "recommended movie" feed for a while, but it has receded thank god. I have no interest in it what so ever.
+Tareltonlives Clearly worse since it was offensive enough to cause this: www.digitalspy.com/movies/news/a643910/native-american-actors-walk-off-totally-disrespectful-adam-sandler-movie/
+Tareltonlives Hmmm......I do think McFarlene had alotta decent shtick in the saloon and had some decent one off scene like the Acid trip and Lincoln by Gilbert Gottfried. But went on ay too long and was unfunny at points.
Every time an Adam Sandler movie gets horrible shitty reviews I think; "Surely not ALL of his movies are bad, maybe this time it's just being received badly because Adam Sandler's name is attached to it." And then I watch a couple clips of it and I understand.
Okay, how the hell does Adam Sandler get those ensembles for his movies? Since more than ten years, he has been labelled cinematic crap and yet he still gets the likes of Terry Crews, Peter Dinklage, John Turturro,...people who REALLY should know better than to say yes to an Adam Sandler script.
Here's who's in it: Adam Sandler Terry Crews Jorge Garcia Taylor Lautner Rob Schneider Luke Wilson Nick Nolte Will Forte Nick Swardson Steve Zahn Julia Jones Lavell Crawford Danny Trejo Harvey Keitel Steve Buscemi David Spade Whitney Cummings Jon Lovitz Norm Macdonald Chris Parnell Blake Shelton John Turturro Vanilla Ice Dan Patrick Chris Kattan Lenda Murray Jackie Sandler
I'm not going to lie: if Taylor Lautner talked like a goofy simpleton in the Twilight movies, that would at least make sitting through those damned things somewhat worth it.
on the star wars mary sue thing. I'll preference this by saying I don't if I fully agree with it, but I kinda do. I haven't seen ridiculous 6, but a mary sue/gary stu doesn't have to be THAT obvious. I mean yeah, it sounds like a mary sue. Which makes a lot of sense since saddler wrote it and that's usually the deal with a mary sue, fanfic writing where the writer imagines himself/herself as the ultimate hero. In the case of star wars, it's not that bad, but I still feel the mary sue thing was there to a extent, intentional or not, and it was kinda annoying. In the end, that's not really my issue with her, I just didn't care for that much as the main character. It felt like finn should have been the main character and her supporting, simply because I liked him a lot more, but it's not the case and their interactions in any event didn't do much for me. I actually like finn's and poe dameron's bit's a lot more, but not much of that in the movie. I think part of it may have been her acting, but whatever. She wasn't the worst character ever in the history of the franchise or something, but compared to luke from a new hope as the main character, she comes up short. Mostly because I think mark hamil is a better actor, and in that movie it was also I think the interactions between luke and obi-won, han, leia etc. worked a lot better. Despite him being a "annoying teenager" when he started, even by the end of the movie, he grown quite a bit and that only continued in the sequels. I'm far less interested in seeing more of rey(bad first impression) and a lot more interested in seeing finn, but she's the main character as the end of TFA made very clear. But whatever, fuck it. Young girls need their hero I guess, and I found catniss annoying the first hunger games movie for similar reasons to rey, so I guess TFA was not targeted at me anyway. I found the fan restorations of the orginal trilogy recently so I could care less about the new movies anyway. But if episode VIII is empire strikes back 2.0 like TFA was a new hope 2.0, then I can hope to see a lot more finn like han in empire.
You knew this movie would be bad when the Native American actors revolted because he was being a blatant racist on set and had zero fucks to give about their culture or opinions. You also knew itd be bad when it had the name Adam Sandler attached to it.:P
I get the idea of a parody of The Hateful 8 with The Ridiculous 6, but it needed to be done by somebody better than Adam Sandler or Seth Mcfarlen. I guess if i want a good western parody, then its Blazing Saddles.
GO SEE KRAMPUS!! OF COURSE THE RIDICULOUS 6 IS GARBAGE!! Krampus is like a movie from the eighties made today! Reminded me of Tremors or Gremlins a lot. practical effects, great dialogue, awesome set design and sound. LOVED IT!!
Re: Vanilla Ice as Mark Twain, no. No, no no. NO. As someone who grew up in Missouri, Mark Twain has been lodged into a special spot in my heart, so I'm biased as hell, but you just don't do that if you can't bring the funny. If Sandler hadn't blithely careened over the entertainment event horizon ages ago, that would've done it. Any goodwill he'd built up with Hotel Transylvania (which, tbh, came largely from the animation) is lost now. He is dead to me.
Meh.. I'm in the "I loved his work in the 90's, but hate his current stuff" crowd and haven't really watched his stuff since Click (2006) which I thought was pretty good. Of what I've seen, Hotel Transylvania is pretty damn good since he wasn't the main creative talent behind it and Blended was stupid, but has a charm to it. Kind of like Full House .., if Full House had jokes about two elephants fucking.
that's a shame. once upon a time i used to enjoy adam sandler movies. there are quite a few i remember fondly. it sucks when someone goes down the toilet.
I watched this last night too on Netflix (my girlfriend loves Adam Sandler movies [shrugs]). All I could think of was I could be watching Three Amigos right now. I hated this movie from the beginning. Adam Sandler with zero acting and super powers. Him playing yet another super hero power fantasy, Gary Stu. Then the donkey was playing Bad Grandpa. From there its a get the six together montage and a couple of climax scenes before a resolution. The biggest surprise in this whole movie was Vanilla Ice in the gambling scene though. Him raising his hands and basically saying that's my jam to some old time piano music playing by Terry Crews actually got a laugh out of me. Then we watched Mystery Men which hasn't aged well. At least some Archers to end the night on a high note.
Now here is what really pisses me off about Netflix, at least the gimped version Poland got. It is supposed to be a replacement for dvd rental, a place to watch films on, right? Well no, good movies are either not available, or to make matters worse they were available, but aren't anymore, they were taken off the website. For example, I found Django Unchained on it, Gone with the Wind, the Disney live-action Jungle Book and Beauty and the Beast. All of those not available anymore. But you know what is available? Ridiculous 6! Green Lantern! After Earth! Oh boy, my Netflix subscription was worth every fucking penny! Shitty movies, a flood of bland tv series and a few recent releases I saw at the cinema already. I guess there also are some really random obscure stuff like a live-action Full Metal Alchemist (40% on RT) or Death Note (same rating). Where the hell did that come from. It's torrents or nothing here.
Eh, I didn't mind the Ridiculus Six as much as I thought I was going to. It may be just me though. I kind of see Sandler's character as being a Marvel character in someway or maybe Nightwolf from Mortal Kombat he doesn't have an Animality.
As I said with Pixels Adam Sandler must've expected people to groan when they say his face. Adam Sandler desperately needs to follow the advice Ryan gave Seth McFarlane and Angelina Jolie, get someone who says NO!
On Rotten Tomatoes, the positive reviews that don't criticize it seem to be trolls with over-the-top positivity or seem to be the sort of backstabby positivity i.e.: "Sure, not all the jokes worked, but it had heart".
is that a nintendo hat brad is wearing it looks a lot like mine im not sure can anyone tell it should say nintendo entertainment system on the back and the front has a nes controller
+Stoned Gremlin Productions Pretty rude coming from a channel where he is supposed to know everything about movies and be the expert. You insult Adam but you can't watch a fucking movie that sucks. Happy new year Mr. Snob!
At the very least, I can make a supercut of every scene Taylor Lautner is in and show it to the few Twilight fans I know. And then I will tease them the whole time. "Wait, HE'S the hot guy in those films? Really?! I dunno, must be a girl thing."
Three Amigos made me ok with a random musical number in the middle of a comical western movie, though I do agree it depends on the type of musical scene it is perhaps. But the turtle told Ned goodnight, and there was an invisible swordsman, so all this ridiculous stuff never bothers me. It doesn't mean the movies are good, yeah .. not at all unfortunately... it's just a nag of mine when they just go, " Oh a random music scene, why? " Or " There is silly stuff in this comedy, to establish it can be cartoon silly," when I know so many movies that they consider great that does the same thing.
brad would you recommend this on any level because I have Netflix and the bloody thing keeps on suggesting it to me and I don't have the hate you do or even doug does for adam sandler as I think he can be good Wedding singer, punch drunk love and anger manqagement are in my opinon good movies he does. Don't mess with the zohan is quite funny though it goes on too long. However I have heard that he is suppose to be a nice guy though this hoot not so much with the racism
This sounds worse than "Million Ways to Die in the West". I will never know for sure, because I won't watch it. I watched Million Ways on HBO, and still feel ripped off.
Out of my medicine and can't sleep because I am so stressed. And incidentally feeling like hating something. So nothing better than watching someone else hate on a movie. And yeah I know you are going to hate it because Adam Sandler. :'D And what do you know, first line of the review: "Adam Sandler is an idiot." Gee, I wonder why my hunch was right? : P
Aw man. I was hoping that you would find the movie decent at best. Me and my dad knew that it was gonna be another stupid Adam Sandler movie, but we still had a blast watching it. I did hate the shit jokes though.
Normal people might listen to what you're trying to make them think if you enunciated naturally instead of pretending you talk like Mr. Howell and Buffy from Gilligan's island. You know they didn't actually talk like that in real life, right? Wealthy people haven't talked that way since the turn of the century.
Ridiculous 6--Blazing Saddles this is not. If I want to watch a comedy/satiric take on the Western Genre, I'll stick to the Mel Brooks classic, thank you very much (said in my best Cinema Snob voice).
My girlfriend got me to watch this with her because she watched it at a friend's house while she was drunk and high and she liked it... then she liked it again TnT I tried really hard to not be a jerk about how much I didn't enjoy it, but at least I can say I gave it a fair shake. I've listened to critics jerk off over how shitty Adam Sandler movies are, but I hadn't actually seen one since I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry. Really, my reaction was the same as yours; I wasn't offended by anything but how unfunny it is, and I was trying to find something positive about it. The star-studded cast was fun to watch while they tried to make this material work. Terry Crews playing a saloon piano was adorable. That was about it.
adamn sandler should do a movie like the gift... maybe that will give him some perspective about his career and himself... maybe another movie with PTA but a veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery dark one
I watched the first half of this. It's all I could stand. Honestly? If nothing else, I liked that Taylor Lautner was able to show some range. Maybe he'll get some movies that aren't shit.
With all the bandying about of "mary sue" as of late--this is what they should be looking to for a Gary Stu. Adam Sandler's "character" is challenged in no way, he does what i guess is supposed to be a clint eastwood character which fails at enigmatic and instead just looks sleepy and lazy acting. I mean he doesn't just "get the girl" he had her from the get go. Gah! what an arrogant asshat Sandler has become! Edit: ok, so i had only gotten about 5 minutes into the review when I wrote this, glad to see they came to the same conclusions!
