La peor semana

As I have said in most of the reviews for the Adam Sandler movies, I am not a huge fan of him but I enjoy most of his movies because they are very funny. THE WEEK OF has a paltry 5,1 and many negative reviews including one of a certain friend of mine, so I was a bit afraid of watching but you might know... last December I finally saw it and while I didn't loved it I found it funny in some spots.

Kirby Cortice (Chris Rock) is a rich doctor. Kenny Lustig (Sandler) is a construction worker rich as well. When their respective daughters Sarah and Tyler are about to marry Kenny insists on paying everything by himself but in the week before the wedding lots of problems arise: for impressing Kirby, Kenny makes the room of the hotel where the ceremony has to be held made over but this causes damages in the other rooms and he has no other choice than let Kirby's family stay at his home already crowded by his family. After lots of issues involving the Mayor the party is done and just when Kirby and Kenny are held while seated on two chairs a sprinkler starts sprinkling water on electronics in the hall and causes a fire, and then the wedding ceremony is held at Kenny's house and he agrees with Kirby that he should pay everything for the big holiday for both families.

I agree that it's a bit too loud but some moments made me genuinely laugh: Seymour mistaken for a WWII veteran when he actually lost his legs to diabetes (and then thrown in the colorful balls pool), the bats thrown in the Mayor's chimney, and the aforementioned fire were the movie's pluses. Sandler and Rock are a perfect match for each other, and the supporting cast is often funny.

Not among Adam Sandler's best movies but still worth a watch for just some laughs here and there.

Yes, this movie is no great writing blockbuster but it is what it is supposed to be. A whole hearted funny Adam sander movie that will make you laugh and feel good at the end. People need to stop thinking they are professional movie critics and just have a few laughs for a couple hours. Lighten up people!

Dumb and slapstick but I was laughing throughout. Go in with zero expectations and have a good time.

This movie is not funny at all nor entertaining. Adam Sandler has made some really bad movies in recent years, Sandler tops last year's disaster Sandy Wexler and makes something even unfunnier "The Week Of". Usually a movie has 15 or 20 minutes at its best to make you care for the film and follow the story, but this movie does not accomplish that. I am a fan of some of Adam Sandler works and Chris Rock's stand-ups, but it is so upsetting and annoying that Sandler knows that he could write some basic story with really cringe-worthy and cheap jokes and makes a sh** ton of money, so he doesn't even try to make something good. Why do it when you can make money with something really bad. I don't think i will be following any next movies of Sandler's unless he did not write the script or had any creative connections to the production process. (Like his upcoming film with Safdie brothers, i will be checking that out) I definitely do not recommend this movie to you, It has nothing to offer. Don't waste any time on it

This is a movie. It's not a usual Adam Sandler movie, but it's something from the same vein.

There are great ideas and great moments, but the overall appeal..... is confusing.

Sandler is going for it. His accent, demeanor, and tone is that of an actor portraying a character.

Chris Rock is the opposite. It's almost as if he doesn't know what he is doing. He is all over the place and very low toned.

Watching them together is, in a word, 'Cringeworthy'.

Poor attempt at some good ideas.
