This episode was originally posted in July 2013 and was the third in the Sandler Month series of reviews, which included this, I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry, Strange Wilderness, and Jack & Jill. This is a (very) re-edited version that runs 3m 12s shorter than the original, and was notably the first episode of the show I edited in HD (the Sucker Punch review is the very first, but I did not handle the editing on that). I still had the original files for this episode, which allowed me to go back to those for this re-edit, which is pretty much from top-to-bottom, and was very intensive, mostly owing to the fact that this came from my "angry phase", which I was extremely shrill and over-exaggerated, and I wanted to correct that as much as possible (but is impossible to delete entirely, so if you find me over the top here, I can only apologize). The extensive changes include: - *NEW* voiceover throughout the entirety of the review. The voiceover is really the part where I overdid it the most in the original version, and I found it grating, so like the other episodes from this period, I did it completely over. If it sounds different, its because it has been recorded on the new microphone to test it out. "Hey, we're at Pizza Hut!" was extremely hard to do without peaking out the microphone, even though it is on the lowest setting possible... - Alternate takes for almost most of the review for on-camera material, to try and bring them into a more natural way of speaking, although even then I was always trying to be as big as possible, so that may not be too noticeable. (I've tried to balance the audio as much as I can.) In addition, countless cuts to the audio to reduce dragging syllables. - The on-camera footage have had their cropping adjusted and colour balance altered to reduce the yellow tint throughout. - Replacement music during the opening and closing of the review. - General re-editing to fit the new narration, with some shots deleted entirely. - Cuts to shorten the film clips throughout. - Cropping on the film clips (from 1.85 to 1.78) adjusted, cut by cut, so there's a little bit more picture than in the original. - SD film clips (such as the extracts from Cactus Flower, and several other Sandler films) have been upscaled for this version. In addition, Jack & Jill was re-encoded, since I'm going to restore that at some point. - New title card observations at points, and film clip credits. This took a lot of time and effort to do, so I hope you enjoy it, and as you can probably guess, this is to tie in with Hotel Transylvania 3, because even Adam Sandler's animated films are going on holiday now. EDIT: I did make a small mistake correcting this video - Dave Matthews' character is Ian Maxatone-JONES. The error was in my original script, and I had obviously fixed before the first version. I've corrected that in my personal copy of this re-edit, should I have to re-upload it in the future.

I think I'd actually give this movie a pass if the girl revealed that the whole time she knew she was being lied to and was just seeing how far he'd go to keep up the lie

A.K.A. Another excuse for Adam Sandler to go on vacation.

I always hated the plot structure of guy chases after hot chick only to realize that he truly loves his female friend. The said hot chick often is no more than a MacGuffin in the movie and is written to be shallow and dumb as stump or just bland. There always seem so damn stupid and unfair to the woman who place the hot chick. You see this a lot in comedies often raunchy ones aimed at males, which makes it feel like the films are telling males that don't bother with the woman you sexually attracted go for the woman whose sensible and motherly. And I know that Aniston is attractive but it is clear there having her play the less hot sensible woman. I

I have to say, if I didn't know this was re-edited/re-dialogued, I would have no idea. It's great. Thanks for reuploading this, Matthew.

Thank you so much for reuploading all these classic BMBs. Used to watch them all the time back in the day and I'm happy you put in all this work to make them available on KZfaq. Keep up the great work :)

Fun fact: this is the first film I ever walked out of. I’m so glad I did.

Sandler has a thing for odd remakes. Such as Mr Deeds, which I maintain wasn't all that BAD, just 100% unnecessary. The thing with the little girl makes it like everyone is a pathological liar. Why not at least here tell the truth? "She's taking an acting class and has started adopting accents." Boom, done. But no, kids in Sandler movies have to have a thing. Remember his nephews in Wedding Singer? How they would say/do things that were kinda odd but also you could totally see a real kid doing? Yeah, forget that, now the kids have to have really bizarre stuff like a four-year-old still breastfeeding in Grown Ups or the boy taping stuff to himself from Jack & Jill. It's not funny or charming, it's stupid and obnoxious.

Sandler managed to stay relevant for a long time through a pretty en-genius scam. By making comedies that doubled as vacations and star'd his friends he was able to keep the budgets insanely low. Guaranteeing that no matter how bad, the movie would make double to triple it's budget. However dragging his reputation through the mud meant he was always one real fail away from being done. Which is what happened with Pixel's. A movie that actually lost money due to it having an actual budget.

I hate plots that revolve around a cascading web of lies.

The audio sounds great!

4:03 You’re too hard on yourself. Your delivery there is classic.

wants to be an actress... names Miley Cyrus as an inspiration... shooting for the bottom rung there, arent you kid.

Just Go With It is still a better title than the italian one, 'My Pretend Wife'.

As someone who grew up in the same town Sandler grew up, went to the same High School and everything...i've noticed something rather strange. I'm 33 now, so when I was growing up as a teen, his early movies were a big deal and considered 'a must watch' back then. However as of now...you wouldn't be caught dead watching one of his movies, largely the modern ones. For me, Punch Drunk Love/50 First Dates were the last 'good' movies he did...but then again, he didn't direct/write them. There is another more recent one where he portrays a shoe maker (forgot the name for the profession) that was good too. So for me, it leaves Happy Gillmore as the last 'good' Sandler movie. If you notice in his early movies, stand up stuff and his CD/tape releases of his 'skits/songs', he would always talk about New England/New Hampshire. Rather repping something from the local area, to straight up using New England slang/locations, etc. Oddly enough, when he started to suck...is when he started being all about 'NY is my home' and what not . (While ironically owning property in Manchester, NH and his parents still living here, though not anymore). It's almost like his entire mindset changed as a whole. Like he needed to 're-brand' himself in some weird way. 'I can't say i'm from New Hampshire, I gotta say i'm from New York! Because people can relate to it and it's trendy/mainstream!' Then oddly enough is when he started becoming very 'main stream friendly'. You know, the type of super low brow humor crap that he's known for now. It makes me think that he hired a new manager of sorts and this person pretty much said 'if you want to make a lot of money, you're going to do X, Y and Z' and he blindly went along with it. All in all, it's a pointless things to notice, but I thought it was a strange little thing. There are a lot of aspects about Sandler that really don't add up when you compare older aspects to the more modern ones of him, even in interviews, it's like he became an entirely different person. Almost night and day different. Which is something most people tend to overlook when they mention their opinion on him as a person/his previous work, etc. I've ranted for far too long...about a pointless person and an equally pointless topic. I clearly need to go to sleep, haha.

This is one of those comedies where all of the conflicts in this movie could have been solved if the characters acted like rational adults.

Wow, your hard work re-editing this episode really shows!! If I recall correctly, this was the first "new episode" that came out after I started watching, so it's a bit nostalgic. ^-^

Also I think the girl was forced to do that British accent at gunpoint.

There are so many lies upon lies I can not believe it holds water

One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them, One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

This re-editing process must take a long time. You’re the man, Brain.

3:27 This movie beat Justin Bieber and Gnomeo and Juliet? It's a smash hit!!

these films are a genre I like to call " I watched it on the 8 hour flight and forgot about it 2 hours after landing" type of film

I'm pretty sure this was lifted from an episode of Three's Company. I guess Sandler will do a movie where he has to juggle two dates on the same night. This is something that happened to Eddie Murphy for a while. He did a string of movies where his character is legitimately a bad guy and they hoped the audience would be sympathetic due to Murphy's charm and a last minute change of heart. It didn't work.

Woman takes vacation with boyfriend, boyfriend’s kids, boyfriend’s ex-wife, and boyfriend’s ex-wife’s boyfriend with whom she was having an affair. This sounds like a stupid episode of Death In Paradise.

Thanks for the hard work and reviews Hope you do well in the future

one of my favourite reviews of yours, Matthew. Thank you!

The intro song is Jet Black Stare - Ready To Roll. I'm actually friends with the lead singer. His name is Rod Black and he now does country music. You guys should check out some of his stuff, it's great.

Appreciate you buffing up an old video Keep it up

18:12 had me an absolute stitches

Good review, Mathew! Keep it up, my dude

I bet this movie holds a record for largest audience walk outs.

The One ring , The one ring to get to F them all. lol

16:33 In Jack and Jill , especially part of the ending was so involving Dunkin Donuts.

19:44 - Oh good. i was about to ask just how much it had cost Adam Sandler's character to keep up this ridiculous lie by now, but Film Brain's about to tally it up.

so the little girl say " Im going to be the next Miley Cyrus I am" . I get this was most likely made before she when to the " im a adult look I'm doing a adult thing treat me like I am grown up " part in her life . but still that line is kind of awkward

19:00-19:17 Speaking of Professor Celluloid, what ever happened to him?

If Jennifer Aniston was the best thing in this, it's not surprising. She's been the best thing in every movie that I've seen her in. The bad part of that is that she apparently has terrible taste in picking roles, so it sets the bar for being the best thing in them pretty low.

One of my least favourite remakes of all time.

I knew it was based off of "Cactus Flower" from the commercial

In what universe would a woman want to go on vacation with her prospective boyfriend’s cheating wife? And said wife’s boyfriend? Why would she wanna meet this wife? And why would she wanna stay with the guy after he confessed to be marrying and thus cheating on his wife, even if that wife was an adulterer? This concept is royally stupid.

Not even all the world's oceans and all the clouds in the sky can quench that thirst.

Remember when Adan Sander was in Good movies

F'Greatjob! I have subscribed!

The contrast between the on screen bits and the voice over is kinda jarring, but I get why it's like that.

Nick Swardson should've played his role as Terry.

Dennis Dugan really needs to retire from directing.

15:42, Did Film Brain just accidentally turn on The Benchwarmers?

28:24, Where?

Hey Mateew, do you repeat shirts?

Why does "Sheep Fight Club" sound like a terrible SNL sketch?

14:49, 14:50 - *_"Are You Fucking Kidding me, Movie?"_* - Matthew Buck, 2018.

When I was 19 years old my mom and aunt took my sister,cousins and I to see this movie and jack and Jill.

The woman with the screwed up eyebrow was also in Click.

At least Brooklyn Decker got punished for this by being cast in Battleship.

Mathew my question is why you'd have a hairbrush like that. Those are for long hair lol.

It kills me that if they just said the kids were from a previous relationship there would be no movie. They look so stupid too trying to explain the accent when the truth would have been easier, she wants to be an actress.

What about Blended?

The last good Adam Sandler film I saw was Blended. It was ok. But... It's quite like this? I don't understand.

Just go with it sounds like what Sandler said to the actors during the filming of this movie

is it me or does the woman playing devlan look a lot like the actress who plays Beverly in it, just an older version

I watched this in cinema 😢

My favorite Adam Sandler film is happy Gilmore.

Seriously… when she finds the wedding ring in his bag, why doesn’t he just say the ring was his dead father’s or something? Oh, look; I just thought harder about this trashfire than Adam Sandler ever did. Stupid me.

24:58 taking care of THUuM xD

Good to see this up here. Happy Madison films are CANCER to comedy.

It would seem Sandler has finally taken a hint, because he hasn't really made any movies since 2015's Pixels.

Ian Maxtone-Graham wrote some really bad Simpsons episodes so that fits.

Lmao @28:55!!! :)

Can you look at GODZILLA Planet of the MONSTERS??

From the thumbnail and the name of the video, I first thought it was a movie featuring Jonny Lee Miller, but it was just that dude that "guest appears" on the Nostalgia Critic every now and then, and may or may not have a twin brother.

15:41 I do like these re-dubs of older episodes for the most part, but I think the more booming tone you had in the original review had more of a punch right there. Also Adam Sandler frivolously spending more money than any of us will see in our lifetimes really hits home how meaningless his more recent work is beyond potentially getting some more Bad Movie Beatdown material.

Brilliant

I agree with your review of the film but 17:53 he was just trying to say the kid was wrong.

"Dopplegangers come to steal our souls" = modern children

Adam Sandler should've been in the Razzie running for Worst Actor and Worst Actress for the Jack & Jill movie The daughter on the other hand, IMHO is a pretty good little actress; I've seen her on stand alone episodes on various tv shows since she was probably about 4, an episode of House M.D. is the immediate one that comes to mind but I know has a pretty good portfolio so far in her young life.

I can't understand what you're saying when you get angry

to Adam Sandler i say have you not seen Fatal Attraction

Missed opportunity for a Miley Cirus joke

4:00 Actually, to me, that title screams something far more dubious...or maybe I've just got a dirty mind. :/

Danny’s probably bankrupt by the end of the film even on his plastic surgeon salary! Adam Sandler not so much

Why did Sandler decide to do a remake? If he hadn’t reference that he did it, it’s not like anyone would have noticed. Especially his target demographic.

The girl’s doing more of a Bert from Mary Poppins than Mary Poppins herself.

Fred Savage also played kids that acted like adults, but at least he has the charm to pull it off, unlike these kids.

No mention of Terry Crews?

I don’t get how he’s hating on this movie it is my literal favorite movie and I have watched it like a million times and it makes me laugh every single time

I never read these "celebrity gossip" magazines, nor such stuff on the net, so I am woefully unaware, what was so toxic about Nicole Kidman?

I think the whole killing the kids thing was a joke

No doubt Dave Matthews phoned in his performance. How embarrassing.

I'm gonna go on a tangent here, considering how much I hate this film. That cringeworthy "that man put his pp on my face!" line was in the trailer for this movie. It was at that exact moment that I thought "I despise movie trailers now". And why the hell would that kid blatantly lie about that? And why was there a black kid being chased by his pregnant mom and throwing his drink at her? What the shit was the point of that? Additionally, I highly doubt that clothes and items in Beverly Hill cost thousand of dollars, along with hotel rooms in Hawaii. Does Sandler not know how costs work? And I also highly doubt that this movie would have their own go at referencing the suicide scene from the original film. I don't think Sandler is that tasteless. Also, Keegan-Michael Key (as the flamboyant hairdresser), you're so much better than this. I can say the same for Dave Matthews. (Seriously, him being gay with sailors? Has Sandler forgotten that it's not several decades ago anymore?) Anyway, that "AHAHAHAHA" broke my ear-drums, so it looks like Mathew is paying for my eardrum replacement surgery. And at least you don't see us Americans become offended whenever Cary Elwes attempts an American accent, or from what I've heard recently Benedict Cumberbatch. I mean no offense. I'm looking forward to a Will Ferrell movie being reviewed on BMB, considering he and Sandler share so much in common with each other in terms of lowbrow comedy. Sex jokes, racist jokes, shit jokes, excessive product placement, unnecessary CGI, unrealistic scenarios and dialogue... the list goes on. And judging by the massive shitstorm that was "Holmes and Watson", it looks like Ferrell is joining Sandler in the Netflix bin, if his upcoming film about Eurovision is anything to go by.

I think the kids in this film are more like the Children of the Damned, maybe the screenwriters read John Wyndham's 'The Midwich Cuckoos' one too many times. Also, yes, the girl's British accent is so annoying I had to hit the mute button every time she opened her gob.

Is anyone else going to comment on Sandler's huge nose just shrinking without explanation after the opening?

Oh my god....just the clips alone are reason enough to not watch it.

He always brings up good points but I can't bare the cringe over-acting

Was ez to watch especially bikini scene . Not saying it was great but happy I watched it had its funny moments. Ohhh half into your vid I get why u hated it.

Richard Roeper put this in his worst movies of 2011.

9:26 - Well, at least Bailey Madison is here to liven up this movie full of contemptible asshole characters.

With his real wife appearing, it makes one wonder why he doesn't cast her as his love interest, in this or any other movie. And many of them noticeably younger, it's almost as if he's living vicariously through his characters.

He's been in a few good movies, but most of his movies are shit. I really hate Adam Sandler, and by that I mean I hate him as an actor, not as a person.

Sandler is great when he’s under a great director like PTA
