Having come across this film in need of a light afternoon watch, I watched the film with the expectation of cheesy, lighthearted comedy with some generic moral to the story; I wasn't too far off. However, I was incredibly surprised by how much I found myself laughing! The script in my opinion was terrifically written and there were some very relatable and convincing character performances.
I am quite disappointed by the mass of poor reviews for this film, no it is not a classic nor is it the most witty but it is a very fun, lighthearted, and warm watch. After all, what would you expect from a film that stars Adam Sandler and Chris Rock!
In my humble opinion, well worth a watch for a lazy afternoon.

Personally, The Week Of is a movie about growing up for adults, incidentally, it's one of Sandler's more mature-themed films. It's a very heartfelt movie that revolves more around the event of a marriage than having a dramatic story, despite this, the many crazy shenanigans common in the Sandlerverse are still present but they are entirely realistic. Chris Rock and Adam Sandler seemingly fall into their roles and feel like real people (most of the time) and the cinematography captures the chaos of a wedding in near dizzying perfection. It's a fun, loving film for fathers and almost everywhere.
Very realistic with a few funny moments. Overall it was stressful to watch. I felt as if I was put in an acquired situation for over an hour and couldn't get out, but tried to pretend everything was ok. It's not the worse movie, but far from the best. Try to watch it if you can. Just go in with zero expectations and try to have a good time.
Dumb and slapstick but I was laughing throughout. Go in with zero expectations and have a good time.
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.
