She was so damn good, especially seeing as how it was her first film. Really hope to see more of her in the future.
I was surprised how low her follower count was when I found her on IG! I suppose that's how I gauge fame in 2019 lol. She was tremendous though, i'd be surprised if she didn't get some real momentum after this.
for some reason the scene that got the most laughs out of me was after KG and crew left the jewelry store for the second time and Howard is leaving the office and Julia is coming down the hall and before she can even say anything Howard just points at her and gives her the firmest "NO" I've ever heard lmao

I think the most "crass" thing said in this is "motherfuckin' cocksucker" so I don't know what that dude is on about
Hot damn was this tense! The scene where the jewelry shop door wouldn’t open was so friggin’ nerve-wracking!! Shoutout to Mohegan Sun making an appearance (I live close by). After Funny People, which satirized Sandler’s choice for making dumb comedies, I was hoping he’d go after more roles with substance. It took a decade but he was terrific in this.
Meyerowitz Stories! He also tried with The Cobbler which is a fascinating failure that no one watched
i really like the review (av club, i think) for that's my boy that begins with pointing out that funny people should've scared sandler off of making high-concept garbage, only to find out that since then he's continued putting out the same ol' shit to the point where he might as well have turned those exaggerated shitty films from FP into actual projects for him to star in
less than a year later, the director of that film would release a best picture winner, funny how that works out
I’m just going to tell people that this is a movie staring Adam Sandler and Kevin Garnett with no other context to trick them into seeing it.
Random celebrities making cameos in Sandler films was always sort of his trademark. Shaq was in one of the Grown Ups movies. You can tell someone to see the Adam Sandler movie with Kevin Garnett and you aren't lying.
