Adam Sandler: Love You

This special is not perfect, I think by choice Josh. Sadie shot it to portray the unfinished feel of the special. It looks like Adam had 20 minutes of good material and filled the rest not every joke lands, but it's an intimate hour with Adam. His strengths in stand up has always been his songs, there are no instant classic songs there are some fun ones that me chuckle. I will admit at times when he is telling a joke the consistent laughing during the set up is annoying as it's out of place and feels forced. You can see Adam's influences in comedy during the special as his jokes are these absurdist situations to set up a punch line. It is an an older styler of doing stand up not everything lands but it is great to listen too. I would prefer to listen to him pulling from his real life and telling jokes based on his experiences as one of the biggest comedy figures of the last 30 years that is what people want to hear. I do respect him doing different and doing a more traditional stand up style, as his songs are the highlight of the special. In the end if you like Adam you will enjoy the special it is rough but it doesn't hide that fact.

Excellent/authentic show - Sandler had some hilarious bits and had me rolling laughing. I know the show was staged but it felt authentic and even the audience wanting to fight at one point was hilarious. He brings his musical abilities to show and funny song writing as well. Honestly could have watched this for another hour it was that good. I enjoy comedy specials where the audience is more intimate and not a massive arena. If you are not a fan of Sandler then pass on this - but if you enjoy Sandler (without the weird noises) this will be a treat to watch. His ode at the end to comedy was a great way to wrap up this special.

The bad: it lasts too long, it just does, 30 minutes or even 45 minutes would have been perfect, but I got bored after a while, because after the 10th s)*t and s*x joke they started to sound the same.

There is no dramatic arch in this performance. Heck no, it's just random s*x and s(*t jokes. NONstop. NO story. NO message. That's okay but you better make sure those s*x jokes are really good then, but unfortunately they were more of the kind of jokes teenagers would make. Can be fun for once or twice, but not for 75 minutes on end.

This material must have been an actual debut performance because Adam Sandler was constantly laughing about his own jokes, up to a point that it became embarrassing becausing he was laughing harder about his own (s*x) jokes than the audience.

Not any good? What was really to like though was hearing Adam Sandler play the acoustic guiter, the bass guitar and the electric guitar. This guy can really play! I am not kiddin'. He can not sing though, he sounds awful, but that's only contributing to the comical effect of his short songs which are basically long (s*x) jokes.

For sure this is definitely not the greatest stand up performance, but not terrible either. Should have been cut shorter though, because I got BORED.

Adam Sandler, so talented. Adam stuck to what he knows which is perfectly crafted comedy. He knows his audience And knows that he can be himself amongst his fans. Makes comedy look so easy. Loved it loved it loved it. Adam clearly loves his craft, and I just thought to myself, " How awesome is it to see someone reach their dreams so young and continue creating new dreams and goals that he desires to." So many people keep their dreams to themselves and don't ever see them realized. This Netflix special really reflects the respect he has for all of those comedians before him that Really granted permission for Adam to do whatever he wanted to do because they did it too. Perfect! So proud of you, Adam!

I couldn't be a bigger fan of Adam Sandler historically but Jesus Christ this is just a chore. It's not good I'm just going to lay it out there I'm being kind by giving it a six because like I said I love Adam Sandler but this is barely watchable I'm in the throes of the last few minutes of it and writing this review. I don't know what this is or who is for but it is painful to watch. He was a comedic talent but his career instead of humor has pivoted away from what is funny these days it's just not working on any level from my viewpoint. He's better off going down the dramatic track because that seems more successful these days but I will save you the time and embarrassment of trying to watch this because it's like his attempt to be a pure musician / comedian, don't know I really can't describe what the hell this is.
