Well, it is germane in this instance if in no other: Ridiculous Six is a rip on Magnificent Seven, which came from Seven Samurai.

Hey, one thing I can say for Adam Sandler is that at least he is fair with his stereotyping. He makes fun of his jewishness like, all the time. That's comedic sportmanship.

On the other hand, Zohan.

Yeah, when reading the comment asking if Sandler wanted the person to make fun of his cultural heritage, I was thinking, "He already beat you to it and routinely makes HIMSELF the butt of his jokes as well." Say what you want about the guy's offensiveness, you can't hit him for hypocrisy. He'll slam himself just as easily.

Offending all races and people, including yourself, alike, can work, but only if you're really witty and clever about it, which Sandler just isn't. It makes the difference between looking like a Love to Hate equal oportunity misanthropist and looking like a just plain asshole.

Sandler's movies are generally love it or hate it, but the man himself is incredibly friendly and well regarded in the business. Half the movies he's involved with (starring or just producing) is mostly to keep his friends employed.

Sandler is a savvy guy. It's always the same mix, mean-spirited humor with sentimental slop. One appeals to the edgelords and the other to families.

The rest of HM productions — I dunno. Read interviews with Kevin James or, heck, or Ken Jeong on the set of a Selzerberg flick. They don't know they're making shit. They talk like they're making the next American classic. If it makes money, it must be!

Or, you know, contractual obligations force them to promote these movies because if they slammed them they could get in hot water.

It's perfectly possible to be honest without slamming the movie. Just don't talk so much.

It's also completely possible to love a movie and the experience of making it even if the rest of the world hates it.
