Adam Sandler: Love You

I would like to start this review by stating a disclaimer that I have been a fan of Adam Sandler through all of his movies. The great ones and the bad ones. There, I said it. But I believe that's what's fans are supposed to do. Stick through the highs and the lows and occasionally, they ll hit the bullseye every once in a while. And that is exactly what the Sandman has done with this special.

This special plays out like an unbelievable skit. Or a sketch. I don't know because I just like comedy. I don't know the terms or depths of it. But Adam does. He has been extremely serious about comedy for a big part of his career and it shows. And in this seriousness lies the comedic funniness that makes us all laugh. And it makes us enjoy life a little better. Everything that happens in this special happens for a reason. Side note - Adam is good at playing basketball and playing the guitar and you are going to see one of these talents at display in this special.

In the paraphrased immortal words of Arnold's character from the Predator - stick around for the end of this shindig.

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!

I couldn't be a bigger fan of Adam Sandler historically but Jesus Christ this is just a chore. It's not good I'm just going to lay it out there I'm being kind by giving it a six because like I said I love Adam Sandler but this is barely watchable I'm in the throes of the last few minutes of it and writing this review. I don't know what this is or who is for but it is painful to watch. He was a comedic talent but his career instead of humor has pivoted away from what is funny these days it's just not working on any level from my viewpoint. He's better off going down the dramatic track because that seems more successful these days but I will save you the time and embarrassment of trying to watch this because it's like his attempt to be a pure musician / comedian, don't know I really can't describe what the hell this is.

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.

Adam Sandler, so talented. Adam stuck to what he knows which is perfectly crafted comedy. He knows his audience And knows that he can be himself amongst his fans. Makes comedy look so easy. Loved it loved it loved it. Adam clearly loves his craft, and I just thought to myself, " How awesome is it to see someone reach their dreams so young and continue creating new dreams and goals that he desires to." So many people keep their dreams to themselves and don't ever see them realized. This Netflix special really reflects the respect he has for all of those comedians before him that Really granted permission for Adam to do whatever he wanted to do because they did it too. Perfect! So proud of you, Adam!
