Adam Sandler: Funny Guy

I am giving it a very very very generous five out of ten stars, four of those stars based solely on the subject matter, Adam Sandler is one of my all-time favorite entertainers. His early movies leaned quite a bit on juvenile humor, it rubbed some people the wrong way but for me, humor is humor, it doesn't matter what kind. His movies are rarely Oscar fodder (the ones he writes and directs himself, anyway) but they are entertaining and you can tell he is always having a good time. (Wow, hit minimum character count already!) But I digress - from the beginning this "documentary" felt like one of those click bait slideshows on the internet about someone making an extraordinary find or doing a huge kindness for a stranger. They are page after page saying the same thing over and over but with different words each time and 4 out of 5 times when you go to click "NEXT" the page shifts and you click on an ad instead. Actually, the only reason I came here was to see if this film was generated by A. I. because it sure feels like it!

I don't know the purpose of documentaries like this: the structure and content is loosely based on Adam Sandler wikipedia page, and its really a collage of generic press interviews (there are even parts that you get to see twice!!!!). The fact that Adam Sandler public persona is pretty low-profile makes this cut-up basically uninteresting. There's nothing new or original in this, just recycled content that Sandler's fans have already seen. Boring and useless

But still not fantastic. Only better because Sandler's got more of an interesting story due to being MASSIVELY more successful.

This one specifically reminded me of the quality of my "clip videos" I post on YouTube. So not bad, but YouTube quality isn't necessarily a good thing.

The pace was incredibly slow, and stuck too long on interviews or press conferences. It's as if the creator here had nothing to show us and just left it running accidentally. Sandler deserves better than this attempt.
