Overrated and overhyped

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Terrible movie. Trying to incorporate politics into its theme is less than paulpable

The Week Of was a surprise consider how the reviews buried this movie. Adam Sandler has always been the face of mindless comedy for the sake of stupid laughter to me which is ok. But when he reigns in all that cringe comedy to mix it with heartfelt story like "Click" or "50 first date" or "Just go with it" that is when I really enjoy his works, of course this movie has some of his touches (like a really baffling cameo of Sandler as his own grandmother in the film which to me was very much unnecessary) but in its entirety this movie was a lot of fun to watch. I was laughing through out the movie and that is some thing that happens rarely with most of the Hollywood comedies for me (technically this is not a hollywood film so maybe that is the reason?), the comedy was in many parts was genuine generated by the wacky situation he was in and in some parts was the over the top Sandler stuff and yet it was funny because the balance was there, I was invested throughout the film in what will happen to this family and at the end I enjoyed the way they finished the film. It was not supposed to be a big philosophical revelation, it was supposed to be a weird but very much plausible real life situation. Yet another movie that has proved to me that most reviews are never anything but bandwagon praise or hate.

Don't get me wrong; The Week Of isn't great; but it most certainly isn't as bad as these other reviews. Please don't go into this film expecting to see a masterclass in directing and acting with an incredibly gripping storyline. As you're not going to get that. It's a comedy and it serves its job as that.... I genuinely laughed out loud at some of the jokes in this movie (which is odd for an Adam Sandler movie). Also, don't be fooled by its *lack of* cast, Sandler, Rock and Buscemi are the only names I'd heard of going into this, but after watching the film, I realised that there is some fantastic talent here. For example Allison Strong puts in a brilliant performance for the most of it (apart from the crying scenes), which was served alongside an array of talent from other young actors.Overall I thought this film did exactly what it said on the tin, it provided laughs, a good time (no alcohol required) and a nice fuzzy feeling after watching it, despite the cringe-worthy Sandler moments which occasionally occurred. So I'd 100% recommend The Week Of to any comedy fan, or anyone who just generally wants something to watch that'll make them feel good inside or to kill time. It's not great, but not as bad as the reviews are saying. Very glad I watched this, fully recommend.

Listen guys just watch it and you will know how good it is dont look at reviews they dontmget a good comedy
