The Ridiculous 6 (2015)

Some people seemed to not like the movie but I personally thought it was great. It has a pretty good plot, it's hilarious, and there's great acting. I loved the movie and definitely recommend.

So, I just watched all the Twilight films again with my 13 year old daughter who hadn't seen them yet (team Jacob!!!) and about a week later we watched Ridiculous 6. I just have to say after seeing Taylor Lautner go from hot werewolf to bumpkin half wit western boy, was a total shocker, but also made me respect him soooooo much as an actor! Honestly, to be so diverse like that, and be able to SLAY such a role (team Little Pete!!!) he did an amazing job. He's the last person I would expect to play a character like that, but I love that he took it on and nailed it!! What a treat!! The hanging scene though, I about peed my pants! Lol. I personally love slap stick comedy and enjoy most Adam Sandler movies. This movie is silly and funny and has a super fun star studded cast. I loved Vanilla Ice as Mark Twain and Blake Shelton as Wyatt Earp. Terry Cruz was another one I absolutely adored in this movie, he is so freaking hilarious!! People who are giving bad reviews and claiming it's a racist film need to get their panties out of a wad and loosen up. I cannot believe how easily offended every gets these days. I'm Caucasian and I absolutely died laughing at the part where the Native American pokes fun at white people ... "I like to eat potato chips and play with my chest hair." LOLOLOL. Seriously, lighten up people, have some fun, it's just a movie!!!! You know, make believe? I thought it was well done, super hilarious, very well cast and I'd give it a 20 out of 10 if I could! Make a sequel Adam! The Ridiculous 7, The Ridiculous 8! This could be the start of an epic franchise! Lol. Much love and laughs!

I as a film critic am usually very kind towards Adam Sandler's films. I was able to find enjoyment in movies like Grown Ups, That's My Boy, Pixels (all modern Sandler productions that were critically panned). I did enjoy That's My Boy the most out of those 3 I mentioned because I just have a really f**ked up sense of humor. Other movies of his such as Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison and Bulletproof I find to be comedic gold. However, when it comes to some of his other comedies, that range from mediocre to being god awful! Mediocre ones being films such as Blended, Grown Ups 2, Sandy Wexler. God awful is stuff like The Do-Over, Jack and Jill (which I think is the worst film of the decade so far), and THIS! I hate the entire 119 minute run time of this movie! This movie is far too long, REALLY boring, and unfunny! 85-90 minutes would have been plenty long enough for this movie. Watching this movie for the first time in December 2015, around the 90 minute mark or so, I thought we were at the climax already, but I found out there was another 30 minutes to go! Not once did the comedy in this movie make me laugh. There is almost nothing more terrible than a comedy that doesn't make you laugh. The two good things that I can at least say about this movie is that not all the acting is terrible, and the action scenes can be somewhat entertaining at times. Other than that, this is easily one of the worst things Sandler has ever come out with. If you see it on Netflix, don't press play, you'll never get those 2 hours back.

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
