Lenny (Adam Sandler) has relocated his family back to the town in which he and his friends grew up and soon realizes that he can try to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, but between old bullies, cops on skis and a group of rowdy local college kids, sometimes crazy follows wherever you go. The returning all-star cast also includes Salma Hayek, Maya Rudolph and Maria Bello, who are joined by NBA star Shaquille O'Neal, Nick Swardson, Alexander Ludwig and Milo Ventimglia.
I'll always jump at the opportunity to watch Salma Hayek in absolutely anything (except a pair of Adam Sandler movies), but, recently her choice of films has been a bit iffy. Still, there's promise for this Spanish film, given her solid supporting cast and fantastic director at the helm.
While still in his teens, Donny (Adam Sandler) fathered a son, Todd (Andy Samberg), and raised him as a single parent until Todd's 18th birthday. Now, after not seeing each other for years, Todd's world comes crashing down on the eve of his wedding when an uninvited Donny suddenly shows up.
In another step toward obtaining the crown of King of All Media, Jimmy Fallon collects some his best musical comedy bits into an album called Blow Your Pants Off. The album features superstar guest stars like Taylor Hicks, spot on impressions of superstars and hilarious parodies of superstar songs. It would be a party in your pants if they were blown off.
Taped before a live audience at the Helen Hayes Theater in New York City in February, Colin Quinn Long Story Short showcases the comedian's keen observations in an uproarious history of the world, juxtaposing modern-day human behavior with the rise and fall of empires. From his personification of Caesar as the original Italian mobster to his complaints about ancient Greece and Antigone giving way to Costco and Snooki, Quinn is at his satirical best, taking on the attitudes, appetites and bad habits that have toppled the world's most powerful nations
This type of film is not for everybody. If you want a few bawdy and awful laughs, they can be found in Big Stan. Superior to a lot of films of its ilk, Rob Scheider and a great cast make a good effort to amuse you.
