Adam Sandler: Love You

You will definitely resonate with this special more if you followed Adam's earlier works. I used to listen to his tapes at school in the early 90's. I remember laughing with friends and talking about his jokes and songs. Part of the fun in this special is "&^$ goes wrong and you think it's on purpose but you kinda don't know. My only issues was sometimes it was hard to hear what he was saying or singing. If you like Sandler, you will have a good time! And that's all that matters, it was a very fun hour for me and I'm thankful for the reminders of early days and memories that came flooding back.

I'm not saying that this isn't for young people, but there are just too many moments and jokes in this show that you need to experience yourself before fully understanding and appreciating them.

This isn't your typical stand-up, and I didn't realize how much I needed this.

I think Sandler is trying to convey with this show that you're not supposed to take life too seriously. Life can be sad, sudden, joyful, and it will go on. I recognized all these emotions while watching the show. I haven't laughed this much in a while. I also felt other emotions, and it's comforting to know that Sandler and other celebrities experience what I/we feel.

In life, things will happen that you didn't expect, and you just have to hold on and go with the flow.

I believe if you've lived long enough, you will appreciate this stand-up very much.

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.

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.

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.
