Adam Sandler Reteams With ‘Uncut Gems’ Josh Safdie For New Comedy Particular

Earlier this yr, I watched and ranked every single Adam Sandler movie in history. (It was fairly a few months, let me let you know.) And to me, the clear #1 out of 51 Sandler movies was Uncut Gems, the darkly comedian thriller a couple of jeweler (Sandler) who makes an attempt to get his arms on an especially uncommon stone that he can use to repay his playing money owed.

The movie, which garnered a few of the greatest evaluations of Sandler’s profession, was directed by Josh and Benny Safdie. Despite the movie’s success each critically and commercially, Sandler has but to make one other characteristic with the Safdies — however now he’s releasing a brand new Netflix comedy particular, Adam Sandler: Love You, and lo and behold, it was directed by none apart from Josh Safdie. (The Safdie brothers have been engaged on separate tasks in recent times; Benny Safdie is presently engaged on The Smashing Machine, a biopic about MMA fighter Mark Kerr.)

You can watch the trailer for the particular beneath. Some of the backstage footage of Sandler coping with followers, signing autographs, does type of seem like scenes that might have been in Uncut Gems — if Howie Ratner had been an enormous mega-star as an alternative of a schnook who was attempting to promote diamond necklaces to large mega-stars.

Love You will likely be Sandler’s second Netflix comedy particular. The first, Adam Sandler: 100% Fresh, premiered in 2018. That particular was directed by Steven Brill, who labored with Sandler on the movies Little Nicky, Mr. Deeds, The Do-Over and Sandy Wexler (and later adopted it with possibly essentially the most underrated of Sandler’s Netflix comedies, Hubie Halloween). But a Sandler comedy particular directed by one of many Safdies sounds significantly intriguing.

Adam Sandler: Love You premieres on Netflix on August 27.
