This isn’t one of those Adam Sandler movies where he gets hit in the balls for laughs. It’s the kind where he gets his balls stomped on. YOU GO SANDLER!!! YOU GO GET YOUR BALLS STOMPED ON!!! Why don’t you go to that balls stomped on place more often? Maybe all Adam’s ever needed was to have them Safdie Bros turn his softie-self into the hardie he always needed to be. Uncut Gems finds the Safdie’s picking up where they left off with their last feature – GoodTime – but ramp up the intensity and insanity a notch here + adding some unlikely excellent supporting work by Kevin Garnett, and even Mike Francesa(???!!!!). Fun, and wrenching throughout, but you may just be a bit too on edge by the time the insanity jumps of the cliff at the very end. Balls to the wall Sandler! Stomp on!
See the MOS EGGSALAD doc Won’t You Be My Neighbor? instead – and pass on this movie altogether, which uses Mister Rogers and his show as a vehicle for a journalist’s journey of self-discovery and therapy for cleaning up his life. The problem? The journalist is sorta real, but his life story is wholly fictionalized, and not even that interesting to begin with. Still, Hanks IS incredible and you MUSS see his performance, but wait til it hits Blockbuster Video, and just FFwd to all his WONDERFUL parts
Verdictgo: Sum Merit But No Stinkin Badgers
Gems gleams and Neighboorhood needs some new neighbors, currently at a theater near jews and white nationlistsÂ
The President is a liar filled with lies! Newspapers need to speak the truth but are trying to be silenced by the President! Women are ready to step up and play with the big boys! The country is under much duress and stress cause of all of this stuff! Is this 2017???? No, it’s 1971!!! OMG – HOW TIMELY!!! OMG – SOMETHINGS NEVER CHANGE!!! HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF!!! FAKE NEWS!! REAL NEWS!!!!!!
Yeah, so, er, um, yeah, so Señor Spielbergo and Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep do their patriotic flaming liberal duty to stick it to today’s man by re-sticking to yesterday’s man in making a lesser All The President’s Men in The Post! This movie wasn’t HASTE-ly made, and there’s a lot of love and energy and great acting (and mustard brown color) going on, and IT IS ALL SO IMPORTANT, but it’s ultimately a movie about whether a newspaper owner and editor want to green light or red light publishing a story. That’s it! That’s the whole movie! Should we publish this and let the people know the truth???!!! Or do we play it cool and not publish and therefore not get punished??? WHAT TO DO??? WHAT TO DO???
It’s kinda much ado and to do about nothing. Look, I agree it’s all IMPORTANT stuff, and I did enjoy watching this movie, but after it ended, I was like, that’s it? They published a story and that was the entire movie??? Oh, so it’s more about that. It’s about how Kay Graham came into her own, being the Washington Post‘s owner, and how editor Ben Bradlee always fought the good fight! Good for them, and for us! No, seriously! I grew up on The Washington Post, and it remains my paper! I LOVE THEM!
But I dunno. I’m tossed. It’s a story that needed to be told, but there’s not much storytelling to tell. It feels like easy material kinda beneath the heavyweight skillsets of Spielbergo and Hanks and Streep. They could have made the same darn good movie with Brett Ratner, Seth Rogen and Katherine Heigl and it would still be important!
Verdictgo: I mean, it’s still a good movie, so Jeepers Worth A Peepers
