.I googled what they look like and lol yes they are. Had no idea that was his wife. Her role is fairly big. Like maybe the 3rd or 4th most lines.
It exists because Adam Sandler has the resources to do whatever he wants like make a movie based loosely off a real person. Wexler and the Tower records guy are real people in the industry. Sandy Wernick manages everyone including Sandler.
So is it an inside joke then? Does Wernick really sound like a super Jewish Bobby Boucher?
Also forgot to mention that sad little man Rob Schneider is doing his impression of an Iranian. He's done similar impressions before and all if them were equally hilarious as Adam Sandler and his voices.
So, eh, holy shit.
This Sandy Wexler promotional clip popped up in my youtube suggestions for some reason. I shouldn't have clicked.

Is that really his voice during the entire movie? I couldn't possible watch an entire movie like that - I can't even get through that minute and a half clip. Jesus Christ. How is that a good idea?
Somebody in the comments said he sounds just like the real guy the character is based on, so I looked up an interview with him. Sounds nothing like him.

This entire thing is baffling to me.

They forced that on people, on the top of the page for months and auto played after completely unrelated films and shows.
What ones have you watched? Personally, Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison, The Wedding Singer and 50 First Dates are the only Adam Sandler movies I can stomach and of that list Happy Gilmore and 50 First Dates are the only ones I would choose to watch
I don't get current Sandler, but he's been good in some good movies: Funny People, Reign Over Me and Punch Drunk Love being the standouts. Not counting the usual older comedies like Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison, Wedding Singer, etc.

Basically, everyone loves Adam Sandler, I never discovered hate for him until I started reading comments in threads here.
It is an inside joke. The guy doesn't sound anything like that. I am sure I can find a video of him somewhere, but he manages a lot of Hollywood. He is an OG.

Here is a video of him talking about the movie actually.
I promise, this is not a GAF-only thing. Adam Sandler ridicule is basically an internet staple at this point, right up there with Nickleback hate.
I watched it.
I haven't liked many of Sandler's movies and haven't bothered to watch others. But this...
This wasn't awful. It's funny in places and touching in others; one scene made me laugh out loud. Jennifer Hudson is very good as one of Wexler's clients.
Get beyond all the usual Sandler tropes (yes, they're almost all in there), and there are some decent human moments.
It's faint praise, but there was enough there that I watched it all in one sitting without debating whether to turn it off.

Netflix will announce it's the most watched movie of all time next week, the blood is on your hands.

I had it on in the background while I graded some papers. Nothing stood out to me. No laughs or overly offensive moments. It just sort of happened.

I don't know why, but I actually really enjoyed this film. I went it with really low expectations, and just found it....fun. It wasn't laugh out loud funny, but it had silly characters, a good heart, good music and pacing. I found it fun. A great background watch, and honestly, a film I think people will back on better in a few years.
