REVIEW:
If you're not a fan of Adam Sandler now, then it's doubtful that "Pixels" is going to turn you around. The cheap and stupid jokes scattered all throughout this thing, predictable storyline, and shockingly sexist attitude towards women make this a very easy target for panning. In fact, many haven't been shy to tear this movie to shreds. It's easy to understand why this is getting so much flack from critics, video game fans, and filmgoers alike. Having said that, this is to me what Sandler's hard-R comedy "That's My Boy" was back in 2012: a stupid but entertainingly ridiculous 80s-centric guilty pleasure. There's something about Adam Sandler's films where, despite all of the flaws present, I find a way to enjoy myself and have fun during them. "Pixels" continues this long-running trend in my book, and I'm personally not ashamed to admit that.

Hello viewers of this blog,
Due to recent comments of spam and profanity present from obnoxious kids who think they are the funniest people in the world, I would like to request that the comments posted here are in good taste, meaning that they have no Anti-Semitic remarks, profanity, sexual innuendo, or any insults to myself. You can criticize the review and give pointers on how to make them better, but how about we be adults about this. Ok? Thank you, and have a nice day.
