Sandler and Wayans Present: A Surprisingly Not Very Sandler Buddy Cop Movie
6 August 2021
The Sandler-thon continues with this weird entry. Sandler trying to get into the buddy cop action flick genre and... This is a weirdly enjoyable movie. Don't get me wrong, it's not great and is actually pretty stupid at times but it seems like the sort of thing that would fit these characters. Wayans brings a nice sense of intensity and charisma to this but Sandler never quite feels realistic in this role. He's too much of a loser to feel like he'd be this important in a criminal enterprise of this magnitude.

Also, there's a decent chunk of this that revolves around a porn-laden cabin in the woods and that just feels weird and unnecessary in the worst ways.

Overall, it's a pretty average thing. The lack of believability in Sandler's character counteracts what Wayans is bringing to the table and the whole thing ends up feeling like a B-movie that's trying too hard to be legit.
