Maybe it’s a question of drastically lowered expectations finally working to Sandler’s advantage, but Sandy Wexler is disarming in its charms.

There is something so authentic in this film that once you get past the annoying voice and some of the dreadfully unfunny side characters, it is disarmingly sweet and even occasionally clever.

Indeed the best Adam Sandler movie since Funny People. I liked it a lot. It is not really a comedy, it is a light-hearted drama with some amusing scenes, but not a typical Sandler movie. Also, very family-friendly. It's definitely a drama which just happens to make you laugh or smile at times, and honestly it's emotional in a way that it makes you feel for the guy. Also, amazing celebrity and comedian cameos, really fun movie.

Of course, there are still product placements, and lowbrow jokes, but there’s an empathetic streak in Sandy Wexler. And that’s something we haven’t seen from Sandler in a long time.

It’s awful, and yet it’s almost objectively Sandler’s best movie since “Funny People.”

While the humor mostly misfires, there’s a certain pleasure to be had simply from spotting the celebrity cameos in Sandy Wexler.

Perhaps the most egregious aspect of Sandy Wexler isn’t its bland or annoying characters, its cookie-cutter story or even the same cheap physical comedy Sandler had become known for. No, the biggest problem very well may be its 1990s setting.

Sandler's drool-accompanied ogling of the female form is now near Woody Allen levels of ick.

This movie has Adam Sandler's (and probably a bunch of other peoples' hearts). That part is amazing. However, Adam persists in the same style of humor more or less with the same tone with which he started his career. The problem is that comedy has transformed significantly since that time. My thought is that Adam should transition away from comedy centered films. He is a good storyteller.

The 90s Hollywood from a manager's perspective! It seems the Americans desperate, deliberate hate towards Adam Sandler, Michale Bay et cetera never going to calm down, even they have started to give good films. That's an unfortunate mindset from the west. While the rest of the world enjoying these guys films without prejudice. This is not Sandlers best, but a better one. Initially, it annoyed me to see the Sandler with the same old accent. But seeing the some of the scenes, it actually made sense. I especially thought it should have been a serious drama, but then it would haven't worked out with the kind of characters it had. Particularly the Kevin James. It is a 90s tale about a Hollywood manager. Narrated as a flashback as the film stars recall his legacy. His latest find, a young woman with a golden voice, is an upcoming sensation. He always stood for her in all the good and bad situations. But time comes he to back off and focus on his other clients. The remaining is about his job, how it shapes are told. I have heard that it was loosely based on Sandler's own manager. I also liked cameos, particularly Rikishi! A long film. But I liked it at the end. It is an okay film. Those who hate Sandler should stay away and let the rest of the guys enjoy it. 6.5/10

It's just a T.V movie, as same as most of Adam Sandler movies that composed of silly and funny jokes.

I freaking hate that movie. It also might be the only Adam Sandler movie that I really dislike. Critics hate the early Sandler movies while audiences and fans just worship them. This is just one of those movies that the audience doesn't hear a laugh, cause really, NONE of the jokes aren't funny to me, and I don't even remember laughing at this movie when I watched it with my family. I'm not telling you guys to really not watch this movie if you're an Adam fan, but I don't think I would really recommend it to people I know.

i didn't say that.. Sandy Wexler There are few laughs here and there which is actually in lower amount than usual Adam Sandler but what it surprisingly possesses is a great character development inherently written on the script before it even hits the screen. And after it does, Sandler's brilliant portrayal of this eerie character sets the bar and expectations higher which unfortunately feature never catches up. Steven Brill's world doesn't stay true to its tone resulting onto a loosely placed execution that may get better on some aspects but it still isn't saying a lot. The feature doesn't quite find its place between comic sequences and high pitched drama ones failing completely on walking the central line of it. Sandy Wexler might be a beautiful love letter by Adam Sandler on performance level but it needed a lot better editing, execution and plot line to make its way up there.
