Adam Sandler (Netflix) Review :-
We’re in the golden age of streaming comedy specials, with a new stand-up show seemingly premiering every week. From legends like Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock to rising stars like Taylor Tomlinson and Shane Gillis, there’s no shortage of talent. This wealth of options—from Bill Burr and Nikki Glaser to Matt Rife and Ali Wong—keeps the comedy landscape vibrant and diverse.
While most specials follow a familiar format—a voice announces the comedian, who then steps onto a well-lit stage with a glass of water and a stool—the approach is tried and true. However, it’s a breath of fresh air when a comedian takes a creative leap with their special. Enter “Adam Sandler: Love You,” which offers a unique twist on the stand-up format.
In this special, Sandler teams up with “Uncut Gems” co-director Josh Safdie to deliver a show that blends the real and the surreal. It’s a consistently funny yet occasionally melancholic experience, offering a refreshing departure from the standard formula.
The opening moments of “Love You” feel like a lost scene from “Uncut Gems.” Sandler pulls up in an alley, his car’s windshield cracked, and politely navigates a swarm of autograph-seeking fans. Among them is Mitchell Wenig, a real-life autograph collector who, along with his brother Stewart, appeared in “Uncut Gems” as characters demanding money from Sandler’s Howard Ratner.
Once inside, Sandler’s bemusement is evident as he surveys the modest venue, which is far from the grandeur of the United Center or American Airlines Arena. “Who booked this place?” he jokes, maneuvering through a rundown backstage area and briefly interacting with the opening act, ventriloquist Willie Tyler (and his puppet, Lester), before stepping onto a stage in front of a few hundred fans.
For a comedian who usually performs in sold-out sports arenas, the venue here could be generously described as decidedly unimpressive.
Throughout the next hour, a series of mishaps ensue—though we won’t spoil the specifics, it’s clear that Sandler handles every glitch with resilience, even when the tech guy is both inefficient and unapologetic. The venue’s scrappiness is not just a coincidence; director Josh Safdie and the production design team transformed the Nocturne Theatre in Glendale, California, into a dilapidated space that seems on the verge of being shut down for code violations. It’s unusual to see one of comedy’s biggest stars in such a rundown setting, but it remains captivating.
Of course, these unconventional choices would be irrelevant if the content didn’t deliver, but Sandler excels with a blend of hilarious and thought-provoking jokes and songs. Not every bit hits the mark; for instance, an attempt at a lengthy, risqué joke reminiscent of Norm Macdonald’s “Dirty Johnny” routine overstays its welcome before reaching its punchline.
However, Sandler mostly shines, whether he’s recounting a story that starts off believable but quickly veers into the absurd or performing genre-spanning songs, all co-written with Dan Bulla, who also provides keyboard accompaniment.

Final Thoughts
The opening scene, set to Nicolette Larson’s 1978 cover of Neil Young’s “Lotta Love,” highlights the hazards and absurdities that accompany immense fame. This summer in pop culture, we’ve witnessed pop singer Chappell Roan rise to perform at record-breaking music festivals across America while taking to TikTok to caution fans about overstepping boundaries.
In a similar vein, Safdie stages a look at Sandler’s life, where autograph-seekers thrust photos at him from private moments, a friend in the dressing room prompts him to sign Happy Gilmore hockey jerseys for charity, and a security guard insists on a FaceTime call with his adult son in a hospital bed.
Sandler’s material cleverly plays with perceptions of his fame and persona. He humorously notes, for instance, that he can’t discipline his kids with a belt because he’s always in sweatpants. He spins shaggy-dog tales about arguing with YMCA patrons in a locker room or finding a genie in a stranger’s airport luggage. Often, he seems more at ease discussing his anatomy with a dog, a genie, or even a balloon than with another person.
The cameo by Schneider adds another layer of humor. Every group has that one friend who stands out for their outrageous antics, and Schneider is that friend for Sandler. His antics clearly amuse Sandler, who doesn’t hesitate to include him in the special. This appearance also serves as Schneider’s best PR boost since the last time Sandler offered his support.
The more intriguing cameo appears in the opening scenes when Sandler’s warm-up act is none other than Willie Tyler and his ventriloquist puppet, Lester. At 83, Tyler’s presence harks back to his frequent TV appearances and commercials from the late 1970s and early 1980s. Sandler’s enthusiastic inclusion of Tyler highlights the genuine affection he has for comedy, reinforcing the heartfelt tribute he delivers in his closing song.
