Another film and another stinker for Adam Sandler. While I'm not a religious person, I will pray tonight that this film flops at the box office and it's the beginning of the end of Sandler's film career.
Sandler's starred in five non-animated movies since 2010 in which he was the lead star. They are:
Grown Ups
Just Go With It
Jack and Jill
That's My Boy
Grown Ups 2
Via RottenTomatoes.com, these five films have a combined approval from critics of 55% (11.0% average).
Grown Ups garnered 10% approval (an average score of 3.3/10), with this general review:
"Grown Ups' cast of comedy vets is amiable, but they're let down by flat direction, and the scattershot, lowbrow humor of a stunted script."
Unfortunately, the film generated $162.0 million
Just Go With It had an approval of 19% (average score of 3.7/10), with the following review:
"Just Go With It may be slightly better than some entries in the recently dire rom-com genre, but that's far from a recommendation."
This film earned $103.0 million at the box office.
I've heard (and read) many people call Jack and Jill the worst film ever made. Only 3% of critics approved (average score of 2.6/10), and had this to say about the film:
"Although it features an inexplicably committed performance from Al Pacino, Jack and Jill is impossible to recommend on any level whatsoever."
Yet this film still made $74.2 million.
That's My Boy received the best approval percentage of any of Sandler's five most recent non-animated movies, as 20% of critics approved (average score of 3.4/10). The critics, on average, felt this way about it:
"While it does represent a new foray into raunch for the normally PG-13 Sandler, That's My Boy finds him repeating himself to diminishing effect - and dragging Andy Samberg down with him."
While the film may have had the highest approval rating, it fared poorest at the box office (thus far), earning just $36.9 million.
That brings us to Sandler's most recent gem - Grown Ups 2 - which has earned just 3% approval from critics to this point (average score of 2.8/10). Here's the lovely review of the film:
"While it's certainly the movie event of the year for filmgoers passionate about deer urine humor, Grown Ups 2 will bore, annoy, and disgust audiences of nearly every other persuasion."
::sighs, before I bow my head and close my eyes::
Father, who art in heaven or however that goes - I know I haven't kept in touch in well, just about forever. But, please, for all that is holy, bring box office doom to Grown Ups 2. Uh, thank you, your Jesusness. Amen.
