Jaw Droppingly Bad: Can I "Do Over" the time I spent watching this one?

But it proves a theory my friend and I have. Sandler makes movies now just to go with his comedian friends to exotic vacation locations. The topic of the movie matters not. The script matters not. Time goofing around with his fellow comedians is the sole goal of Happy Madison production company and.. hey, good for them! I saw this on Netflix so I wasnt out $20 at a theater so I am good with it. Almost. I kinda want 1-2 hours added to the end of my life to account for the time I spent on this stinker. Or a free drink voucher. Something! An autographed copy of Billy Madison? The chance to do a shot with David Spade? Come on people give me something.

I was in awe at how .. disconnected and shoddy and just flat out .. bizarre this movie was. Was it a comedy? A drama? An action movie? Was the dialogue generated by a random computer program or teens high on the dubajoanna? I honestly have no idea whatsoever.

Anyone reading this could crank out better dialogue during a black out whiskey bender after midnight while suffering flu symptoms.

I agree 100%. This was garbage.

I read that the budget of the almost unwatchable Ridiculous Six was $60 million. I can't help but wonder how much was spent on this turkey.

I really think that Netflix might actually lose some subscribers by being synonymous with this kind of *beep*

" I really think that Netflix might actually lose some subscribers by being synonymous with this kind of *beep* "

You make a good point. Every time I see a bad movie or TV show commissioned by Netflix I get closer to actually cancelling mine. They are using MY money to make trashy shows, why should I keep helping them?

The sad part is that he has admitted that's true.

Can he take people on IMDB with him? For ever week spent on his dime I will give a glowing review of one of his films.

Here we go, a primer

Little Nicki was a remarkable masterpiece in antihero cinema where my dislike of all the characters was akin to the devil's dislike of man and vice versa. Am I man or am I demon, all I know is, I wanted the cast and crew to burn in hell for wasting my time. Sandler's head in a box for Brad Pitt to find. Having said that, the hotel accommodations on this Sandler junket are top notch I give this movie 5 out of 5 Stars.

30 minutes in and, so far, it's not bad.

Different opinions etc.
