It's been a while since Adam ? made a movie that critics were really gung ? for. His highest-rated movie in recent years was Top Five, and that was a Chris Rock vehicle he just popped up in. People really hated his recently Netflix movie The Do-Over, with only a 5% minority giving it positive reviews. Critics reviews have even been mixed on the Hotel Transylvania animated movies, but despite this a third is in the works. It seems Adam ? can't really catch a break in the critical sphere, and he knows it. Regardless, he recently stated that he doesn't really care that all his movies get bad reviews. Speaking ahead of the upcoming movie Sandy Wexler Adam ? explained that he still believes in his own work:
I know what they're going to say to every movie -- they're going to say they don't like it. We'll be OK. I believe in my stuff. That's important to me and my friends and the people I make the movies for. I like them, that's the good news.
If you are celebrity with a lot of star power who is making movies, you might as well make the movies you like to make. As a comedian, Adam ? only has his own perspective to fall back on, and he told the Press Association that he feels the movies he is making are fun for himself and his friends. We've already learned in the past that Adam ? often films movies in locations he has always wanted to vacation in, so the idea of making movies for himself and his friends isn't new. Still, it's interesting to hear him say he is impervious to the bad reviews. He defends the movies he's making, and to his credit, they do make him a lot of money.
adam ? in sandy wexler on Netflix
Adam ? certainly has a point of view that is both goofy and geared toward juvenile humor. Sometimes those jokes work--as I would argue they do in movies like Hotel Transylvania. Sometimes those jokes are lazy, but most of his movies are certainly watchable, even when they aren't the best from a narrative perspective. There are a few Adam ? movies I've had trouble sitting through, including Jack and Jill and The Ridiculous Six, but there are plenty of Adam ? movies that had their moments even when they were silly. I rather enjoyed Pixels and even the The Do-Over, even though the latter is only running at 5% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Collectively, ? 's only positive rated ? -esque comedies are Happy Gilmore and The Wedding Singer. Critics have also liked Punch-? Love, Stupidity, Funny People and Reign Over Me. But critics have dumped all over movies like Billy Madison, Spanglish, Fifty First Dates, Big Daddy and many, many more.
Adam ? 's latest movie Sandy Wexler is a nineties throwback film headed to Netflix on April 14. The movie is being made as part of an extended overall deal the comedian has made with Netflix, so whether or not you agree with the critics, there are plenty of ? movies to come. To gauge whether or not you think this one will get good ratings, take a look at the full trailer and see what else Netflix has coming up with our premiere schedule.

that Sandy Wexler movie looks funny tho...
-
This newest movie he has coming out looks superbly stupid.
The Do Over to me was the the funniest movie he's done in awhile. Wasnt that great, but a big step up from the previous Netflix releases -
last ? movie i watched was the longest yard remake.
-
Didnt read but im guessing he dont care because .... They make money
-
? the critics billy Madison my fav adam ? movie
-
The only film I've liked with him in it is Punch-? Love. As long as he's making money from his ? films I doubt he cares what I think.
-
Funny People is one of my all time favorite movies
-
If my net worth was over $300 million I wouldn't care either.
-
I liked mr deeds and anger management
-
He's had some good ones, but his last few, especially since he went to Netflix, have been pretty trash. The last movie he did that I somewhat liked was 'That's My Boy'.

I would say around Zohan is when he really fell off and started getting the bad reviews, before that he was mostly hit than miss -
I like most of his older movies. Hadn't really ? with his newer movies, those in the past couple of years.
-
His movies are trash
-
I liked the do over
-
I liked Just Go With It
Brooklyn Decker & Jennifer Aniston were lookin nice in it.
Grown Ups was kinda funny... But Grown Ups 2 was trash as ? -
Last one I saw was Little Nicky but Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, The Wedding Singer and The Waterboy are all certified in my book. ? gets a lifetime pass from me for that and his SNL run which was the SNL era that really got me into sketch comedy TV along with In Living Color.
-
Grown ups 2 was stupid as all ? , Schneider was smart for sitting that one out, Grown ups grew on me after initial dissapointment
-
My 2yr old is watching pixels right now.
He loves it -
