Premiering Sunday on the Gaines’ Magnolia Network (part owned by Warner Bros. Discovery) and HGTV, the original home of the “Fixer Upper” franchise, and streaming same day on Max and Discovery+, the six-episode “Lakehouse” follows Chip and Jo as they take on a unique mid-century modern lakehouse flip near Lake Waco, a new neighborhood for the home reno couple based in Waco, Texas.
“Chip found a set of plans in this lakehouse that showed the house was built in 1965 and the husband loved mid-century modern style and the wife loved that Spanish revival style,” Joanna Gaines tells Variety. “And you see this blend of them trying to work it out. There was something about that, me thinking about going back to the ’60s,...

Adam Sandler-starring comedies are seemingly not critics’ favorites, as they often fell victim to their strict judgment. All of us can recall such hilarious genre’s staples as Big Daddy (1999), Click (2006) and Grown Ups (2010), but it may come as a surprise that their critical score is less than 40% on Rotten Tomatoes.
The movie that is now holding the fifth place in HBO’s global top is no exception, as it was panned by critics, but liked by the actor’s fans, just like the mentioned titles.
Its plot focuses on a pizzeria owner who lives his calm life in a small town. However, it’s about to change, as he is the only heir of his deceased uncle who leaves him a fortune of $40 billion. He embarks on a journey into the big city’s world of luxuries, large businesses and, moreover, tabloid reporters, who urge to know his success story.

There is no doubt that everyone saw at least one of Adam Sandler’s comedies, for example, Big Daddy (1999), Click (2006) or Grown Ups (2010). At the same time, the actor’s comedy talent shines even brighter when his movies are added by the romantic aspect, with his romcoms being loved by the audience, but not so recognized by critics.
One of these features is a 2014 romcom, in which he portrayed the widowed father Jim, who goes on an unsuccessful blind date with another single parent, Lauren. They both decide they don’t want to see each other in their lives ever again. And yes, you may have already recognized the plot of Blended here.

Adam Sandler has been part of the industry since the early 90s. He started his career with small roles in TV shows before joining Saturday Night Live. From 1990 to 1995, he featured in SNL as a writer as well as an artist before being given the boot by NBC. Soon after that, he started landing leading roles in comedy movies and became the quintessential rom-com hero.

In the year 1999, Sandler started his movie production company, Happy Madison Productions. Most of his movies since have been produced by his company, with most of the projects doing abysmally among critics, but performing well at the box office. But the actor is not very concerned about his projects not doing well enough among the critics, and says he is happy making movies as long as they make his fans happy.

Now that almost every popular celebrity in Hollywood seems to be migrating toward superhero franchises, mostly the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the DC Universe, many might expect Adam Sandler to follow suit. This is especially true as he is unarguably one of the most popular and influential figures in the entertainment industry.

But even if he does get cast into either one of the franchises, which character could he best embody? Well, while there may not be many roles that would suit him (even though Sandler could quite perfectly embody any character), there is one supervillain from the Dcu who is equal parts maniacal as well as ridiculous enough for Sandler: Mister Mxyzptlk.

While one can argue that Netflix’s rise has been detrimental to cinema as a whole, the actor who has greatly benefited from shifting to the streaming giant is Adam Sandler. Since his breakthrough back in the ’90s thanks to his stint in SNL, Sandler has gone on to become one of the biggest comedic icons of this generation but has had a rough time among critics.
Even though Sandler is not new to critically acclaimed features, especially his works in recent years, for the majority of his career, the Happy Gilmore Star’s releases have struggled to earn critics’ approval. But despite having a rough going critically, the execs at Netflix were assured bringing him in would greatly benefit the platform, and they couldn’t have been more right.

A decade before Knight and Day was released, a movie like it would have killed with audiences: Come on, it starred Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz and looked to perfectly mash humor and action in a way that so few male/female-led action-comedies had for years. Yet, it didn’t connect. But why? There are a lot of reasons, really, and not just, as Roy Miller would say, “one of those things.” Through lousy marketing, hokey promotion, poorly timed sneak previews, and even Katie Holmes, Knight and Day fizzled, less “beautiful dress” than beautiful mess…But it did at least inspire a Bollywood remake, so suck on that, Vanilla Sky! Let’s find out: What Happened to this Movie?!

Adam Sandler may be an icon himself but he admits he gets a bit nervous anytime he’s around global superstar Taylor Swift.
During a recent appearance on SiriusXM’s Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend, Sandler and host Conan O’Brien were talking about stars they idolized growing up, and how newer celebrities don’t typically have the same effect on them.
“What I have found is that people can be absolute icons, make the biggest stars in the world, but if they came along five years ago, I’m very happy to meet them, but they don’t have that effect on me. I’m not like, ‘Oh my, oh my God,’ you know, the way I would be from anybody that I saw [growing up],” O’Brien explained.

Following The Film Stage’s collective top 50 films of 2023, as part of our year-end coverage, our contributors are sharing their personal top 10 lists.
I love going to the movies every year, but I really loved going to the movies this year. I saw Knock at the Cabin in Providence, I saw May December in Tallinn. I saw Enys Men in a small theater at Village East where it felt like everyone in the audience turned against the film but me. Somehow I liked Equalizer 3 despite loathing the other two. The worst movie I saw in theaters was Fast X, which I watched on an edible that put me to sleep during a set piece. I missed out on seeing Magic Mike’s Last Dance with some friends who wound up running into Christopher Nolan going to see Skinamarink. I loved breaking Yom Kippur fast during The Beast (out next year—I...

Adam Sandler’s daughter Sunny Sandler is now a movie star in her own right, but before she had a clear sense of how Hollywood works, she wasn’t thrilled about seeing her dad kiss actresses for his films.
Sandler appeared as a guest on The Jennifer Hudson Show on Tuesday to promote his new Netflix animated feature, Leo, in which his daughters, Sadie and Sunny, join him in the voice cast. He and Hudson reminisced about co-starring together in Netflix’s 2017 title Sandy Wexler, with Hudson remembering that her son, David, who was 6 years old at the time, was confused as to why she was kissing her co-star in a scene.
For his part, Sandler responded that his own daughters have sometimes struggled with seeing him smooch actresses for his projects, with Sunny, now 15, having had a stronger reaction to it than her older sister, Sadie, now 17. Sunny and...

For a movie that's mostly about how friendships are forever, the 2010 Adam Sandler comedy "Grown Ups" may have had fans wondering about a conspicuously missing face from the sequel. For much of Sandler's career on the big screen, he's been joined by longtime friend and collaborator Rob Schneider. Starting with 1998's "The Waterboy," the two actors have appeared in well over a dozen movies together, from the likes of "Mr. Deeds" and "The Longest Yard" to even an animated movie like "Eight Crazy Nights." Contrary to recent rumors, the bond still seems to be going strong as the two ended up joining forces again in 2017's "Sandy Wexler" and once more in "Hubie Halloween" three years ago. But that hasn't stopped fans from wondering why, after such a prominent role in "Grown Ups," Schneider didn't return for another go-around in "Grown Ups 2."

Rick and Morty’s seventh season has had an air of controversy and intrigue surrounding it as series creator Justin Roiland was fired by the show and Adult Swim due to felony domestic abuse charges being brought against him. Even though Roiland hadn’t been involved in any major creative decisions with the series for years, he still voiced the eponymous duo as well as other side characters up to his departure. With Roiland gone, the creative team behind Rick and Morty had some seemingly large shoes to fill to get the new season done on time and make sure the change was virtually seamless for long-time fans.
Rather than going the Solar Opposites route and bringing in a well-known actor with a different voice to replace Roiland and making a bit out of the whole thing, Rick and Morty showrunner Scott Marder decided to take a different approach. To start,...
