Netflix seems quite pleased to be devoting a slice of its empire to Adam Sandler, even signing the actor to another four-picture deal last year, but reactions to films like THE RIDICULOUS 6, THE DO-OVER, and SANDY WEXLER haven't exactly been kind, although that certainly doesn't stop people from watching them. When compared to those movies, Sandler's upcoming THE WEEK OF actually looks…decent, or at the very least, it comes across as a more grounded story with (slightly) more subdued performances. Directed by Robert Smigel, who also co-wrote the film alongside Adam Sandler, THE WEEK OF finds Sandler playing a devoted, middle-class father who is determined to pay for his daughter's wedding despite the prodding of the wealthier father of the groom (Chris Rock). A series of calamities forces the dads (and their families) to come together and endure the longest week of their lives.
THE WEEK OF will premiere on Netflix on April 27, 2018.
