Adam Sandler: Love You

The bad: it lasts too long, it just does, 30 minutes or even 45 minutes would have been perfect, but I got bored after a while, because after the 10th s)*t and s*x joke they started to sound the same.

There is no dramatic arch in this performance. Heck no, it's just random s*x and s(*t jokes. NONstop. NO story. NO message. That's okay but you better make sure those s*x jokes are really good then, but unfortunately they were more of the kind of jokes teenagers would make. Can be fun for once or twice, but not for 75 minutes on end.

This material must have been an actual debut performance because Adam Sandler was constantly laughing about his own jokes, up to a point that it became embarrassing becausing he was laughing harder about his own (s*x) jokes than the audience.

Not any good? What was really to like though was hearing Adam Sandler play the acoustic guiter, the bass guitar and the electric guitar. This guy can really play! I am not kiddin'. He can not sing though, he sounds awful, but that's only contributing to the comical effect of his short songs which are basically long (s*x) jokes.

For sure this is definitely not the greatest stand up performance, but not terrible either. Should have been cut shorter though, because I got BORED.

In an age where so much preparation goes into stand up comedy specials.. Adam Sandler unassumingly makes his way onto a small stage in an average venue, has several things technically go wrong, wins over the crowd with his charm, and is very funny.

He had both short and long 'bits' that just 'worked'.. and who knew he could play guitar!

I knew him as a funny movie writer/actor.. then I saw his serious roles in his latest movie to be impressed again.

I have not seen him perform outside of his movies before so I had no expectations of his stand up. He is very talented and this has added to my appreciation of him. Great show!

You will definitely resonate with this special more if you followed Adam's earlier works. I used to listen to his tapes at school in the early 90's. I remember laughing with friends and talking about his jokes and songs. Part of the fun in this special is "&^$ goes wrong and you think it's on purpose but you kinda don't know. My only issues was sometimes it was hard to hear what he was saying or singing. If you like Sandler, you will have a good time! And that's all that matters, it was a very fun hour for me and I'm thankful for the reminders of early days and memories that came flooding back.

This special is not perfect, I think by choice Josh. Sadie shot it to portray the unfinished feel of the special. It looks like Adam had 20 minutes of good material and filled the rest not every joke lands, but it's an intimate hour with Adam. His strengths in stand up has always been his songs, there are no instant classic songs there are some fun ones that me chuckle. I will admit at times when he is telling a joke the consistent laughing during the set up is annoying as it's out of place and feels forced. You can see Adam's influences in comedy during the special as his jokes are these absurdist situations to set up a punch line. It is an an older styler of doing stand up not everything lands but it is great to listen too. I would prefer to listen to him pulling from his real life and telling jokes based on his experiences as one of the biggest comedy figures of the last 30 years that is what people want to hear. I do respect him doing different and doing a more traditional stand up style, as his songs are the highlight of the special. In the end if you like Adam you will enjoy the special it is rough but it doesn't hide that fact.

Excellent/authentic show - Sandler had some hilarious bits and had me rolling laughing. I know the show was staged but it felt authentic and even the audience wanting to fight at one point was hilarious. He brings his musical abilities to show and funny song writing as well. Honestly could have watched this for another hour it was that good. I enjoy comedy specials where the audience is more intimate and not a massive arena. If you are not a fan of Sandler then pass on this - but if you enjoy Sandler (without the weird noises) this will be a treat to watch. His ode at the end to comedy was a great way to wrap up this special.
