Adam Sandler 100% FreshBy Chuckie VanHooseOctober 24, 2018Adam Sandler 100% Fresh
I decided to give Adam Sandler’s new stand up a chance. The newest Adam Sandler movie that I have watched was Grown Ups 2 released in 2012. Now I have watched some of his older stuff that is on Netflix. For example I just watched Billy Madison again before I saw his special. Billy Madison is one of my favorite comedies. I would say that it would be if my top ten of all time favorite comedies. So I do like some of his work.

Before I get into my review I want to remind everyone that comedy is hard to review because it’s so subjective. So what wasn’t funny to me might be hilarious to you. That’s perfectly fine and doesn’t bother me.

This was my first time watching him do stand up and I wasn’t the biggest fan of it. He mixes stories about his life and dumb songs that he came up with during the special. I enjoyed the last song the best and it was one of my favorite parts of the special. However I only laughed around 5 times. I had no problem with him using music.

The editing was unique because it cuts back and forth to him performing at different t venues. But at times it took me out of the moment. I can appreciate what they were trying to do though.

I did not like the special and that’s okay. Even the title is taking a shot at Rotten Tomatoes who always criticize his work. Right now on Rotten Tomatoes has an audience score of 85%. So I do believe that he will get another Netflix special.

I’m going to be generous with my rating because my thoughts on the special can be summarized by my favorite Billy Madison quote.
“Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”

Rating 4.5/10
