9/10
A Family Affair (No Spoilers)
30 August 2023
Ok, so I love this movie because it's not just the classic Adam Sandler bathroom humor type comedy of his early movies. It's adorable to see the whole Sandler clan join in, which lends a really unique dynamic and balance to the whole story.

The interaction between the sisters is terrific and realistic. Jackie's also great, though it's funny that she plays the mom of a different character, which was a little funny since the girls are literally visibly a perfect blend of both their parents.

I also liked the film because there's a little something for everyone. The characters are all very relatable. The film reminded me a little of the Judy Blume books I grew up with and the difficult rights of passage we all go through as kids, the moments we realize what it means to grow up. The film itself is a lovely mitzvah (No spoilers!!! Go watch this one.)

There was also a great deal of diversity in the cast, which helps to showcase the point that many individuals in previous generations have been trying to impress upon us since the time of Moses. In short, it's just lovely from start to finish.

With the exception of ONE small scene at the waterside cliff scene (no spoilers), the movie is fun, relatable and well done.

I really do hope to see more films like this. (Do you hear me Adam? More like this. The Sandler ladies are fab.)
