Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
mange_malvakt The Ridiculous 6 had a bigger budget than the Hateful Eight. Jut let that sink in for a minute. A disproportionate amount of it must have went to acting fees 'cause this sure as hell doesn't look like a big budget movie.At this point it's all just a giant ruse to get Adam Sandler and his mates paid. Well, at least Sandler's pictures are out of the theatre and straight to netflix which is a step in the right direction.Congratulations all Netflix subscribers on paying for David Spade's new yacht. He's earned it.
Wizard-8 With Adam Sandler's theatrical movies a few years ago starting to receive diminishing returns at the box office, one would think he would start moving into low budget direct to DVD movies. But Netflix came along, and Sandler has settled there for the time being, making new movies there. All the same, I was expecting this movie to be tacky and low budget, but surprisingly Netflix spent a lot of money, making a movie whose production values are as strong as a theatrical movie made by a major Hollywood studio. But is there anything else noteworthy about the movie? Well, it does have an offbeat supporting cast, and these actors do the best with what they are given. But the screenplay (co-written by Sandler) doesn't give them much of substance. Most of the characters are thinly written and don't have much dimension. A bigger stumble is that the movie's level of humor for the most part isn't that clever or funny. It may tickle Sandler's die hard fans, but I think most people will find the humor juvenile and unsubtle. And the movie certainly didn't have to be two hours long; the padding is very evident, and could have easily been cut out. With Netflix recently raising their subscription prices, I hope they use their new found money to be spent on better projects.
tylerplant How is it that Sandlers movies aimed at kids have the most mature humor? An ongoing joke through this movie was literally "I had sex with your mom". They felt the need to tell this "joke" six times. I have to admit that it's been a while since I watched this but I don't recall laughing at all through this whole movie.
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?
