A big shout out to Jesse Fox over at Vulture for writing the article that is convincing me to watch Sandy Wexler. While the article itself is a decent sized read there was one all important sentence that caught my attention which clinched my decision to watch this film. Here it is:
This is the movie he wanted to make and this is how he wanted to make it. A generous (maybe too generous) reading of Sandler is that he’s like a painter who just paints the same circle repeatedly until he perfects it, knowing he never will. Which is to say, for Sandler it is about the process.
When you see the trailer you’ll understand exactly what is meant by this line. Almost since day one Sandler has been making movies with friends and it’s like he spits out the same movie over and over again with different iterations. Do something funny, involve all your friends, and make money off of it. But in this particular movie it’s almost as if he’s making a movie about his movie making experience. An experience where he gets to have fun with as well as work with friends.
Without getting too philosophical read the article on Vulture and then watch this trailer. I have a strong feeling this will be a solid and very likeable movie.
