Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
bcpridgin First off, I believe this movie got bad reviews because some would consider it racist. This movie came out at the peak of political correctness, so that is why I think it got bad reviews.The intro of the movie has a sign that reads, "No Injuns" then the camera pans to another sign that reads, "NO REDSKINS!". It is in my humble opinion that people who rated this movie 1/10 didn't even watch this movie and/or they really dislike Adam Sandler.Lastly, this is a fun movie with a smahingly-great cast that you can tell really enjoyed making the movie. The only part I thought was slow and not needed was in the beginning ith Sandler' s father. That part was a snore fest. Other than that part the movie is interesting and has a good pace.Don't believe the snowflakes.
Michael Ledo Tommy (Adam Sadler) meets his dad who left him to Indians to raise. He is taken captive and Tommy must raise $50,000 to save him. In doing so he meets 5 unlikely individuals who are his half brothers. The film is no "Blazing Saddles." It is filled with clichés and gross sex humor. The humor was hit and miss and most of the time it missed miserably in its juvenile attempt to be funny. Guide: No F-bombs, sex, or nudity. Plenty of adult humor.
cmtrisket Lets see, where to start with this one! Right off the bat I can tell you that it is a typical Adam Sandler movie. If you like the others, you will find this one appealing. If you don't like his other movies you will probably hate this movie.Lets talk specifics. The Netflix Original movie is 1 hour and 59 minutes (119 minutes) long. The time frame is decent and if you are into the movie it will fly by. This movie is one of the most well known actor, jammed packed as they come. You can sit on IMDb.com and scroll for a while and still see names you recognize. I'm not sure this movie paid well for anyone, but was more of a fun project. On top of the already mentioned leads you have names like: Will Forte, Steve Zahn, Nick Nolte, Jon Lovitz, David Spade, Danny Trejo, Nick Swardson, Blake Shelton, and Vanilla Ice. Honestly that list keeps going, its incredible how many people they got to be in this movie.As we look to the plot, you quickly realize, like most of his movies it is loose and only there as a basic structure. To sum it up Tommy (Adam Sandler) is an orphan raised by Native Americans. His dad comes back and then gets taken. The rest of the movie is about him and his newly found five brothers trying to rescue their dad. Again, the movie is really more about the cast and how they interact with each other.The humor in the movie is 'stupid' and 'childish', and that isn't meant in a mean/bashing way. It, at times, is very inappropriate and brash. Other times it is just corny, and you wonder how these movie keep getting funded at all. That being said if you like that sort of humor even a little bit, you will laugh. I'll be the first to admit that these movies are a nice getaway from everyday life. It is nice to be able to watch a movie and not have to worry about following it too closely. I do like 'stupid' humor and I laughed a lot.It is as random as they come and to see all of these people play parts you never thought they would, it's pretty amazing.But, when you turn to the aspect of scoring/rating a movie like this they are always low. Scoring is serious and movies that aren't taken too seriously on purpose, know they will be ranked low before they even start. As for being a comedy, yes but not well thought out comedy. As for western…..it takes part in the West, but that's about it. Again it's loose, the themes of a western aren't there but the costumes and what not are. Take it with a grain of salt.In summary, I laughed. The plot is basic. You never know which actor you will see next, and they all work great together in weird roles. It is your typical Sandler movie and should be treated as such. If I had a choice of never seeing it in the first place or watching it twice, I would watch it again.That being said movies like this fall flat in the ratings and I would personally give this movie a 4.5/10
classicsoncall 1974 brought us "Blazing Saddles" and some four decades later, the comedy Western is stood on it's head with a movie so ridiculous it had to be called "The Ridiculous 6". The concept wasn't so bad, but when you get so many Saturday Night Alumni involved in one place at one time, you're just asking for trouble. In addition to principals like Adam Sandler and Rob Schneider, you had cameos from folks like Jon Lovitz (Ezekiel Grant), David Spade (General George Custer), Chris Kattan (John Wilkes Booth) and Norm MacDonald (a customer at the Golden Nuggets). If I missed any I apologize, they kept popping up at such a furious pace it was hard to keep track.There's some funny stuff going on in the story to be sure, but the film is brought down a considerable notch with the vulgar humor and the burro who couldn't help itself whenever he broke wind. In his case, he kept breaking mini-mud storms, if you know what I mean, and once would have been enough but the writers just couldn't help themselves. Stuff like that just panders to the lowest common denominator.I had to laugh when Frank Stockburn (Nick Nolte) turned bad guy against son Tommy/White Knife (Sandler) and the rest of his boys, explaining how one should "Never bring a knife to a gunfight". It sounded like something President Obama once said, though it's doubtful he ever found himself in a compromising position in Jawbone Falls, Sweet Hog Rock or Rattler's Gulch. At least the screenwriters got the chronology correct for the characters they introduced in cameo parts, like Mark Twain, Wyatt Earp, George Custer and Abner Doubleday.You know, John Ford and John Wayne have to be spinning in their graves with this absurdist take on the Western genre. You can pretty much bet they never came across a formation in Monument Valley like the penis rock the Ridiculous Ones found in Silver Canyon. All in all, I'd have to say that using the term 'ridiculous' in the title takes some of the edge off what one might otherwise expect in a film like this, because it's all of that. And just to show you how ridiculous the movie really is, the actor portraying Mark Twain is Vanilla Ice. Can you get any more ridiculous than that?
