I heard a lot about THE RIDICULOUS 6 because it's among Adam Sandler's lowest rated movies and also for its stellar cast. Two weeks ago I finally sat down and watched it, and I was impressed that I liked it more than what I was led to believe thanks to the score and reviews.
Tommy Stockburn (Adam Sandler) is a white man raised by indians that after defeating a gang of one-eyed bandits and food store owner Clem (Steve Zahn) is visited by Frank Stockburn (Nick Nolte) who claims to be his father and that he left as his inheritance (since he is dying of tubercolosis) 50,000 dollars. However, a gang led by Cicero (Danny Trejo) kidnaps Frank and Tommy decides to retrieve 50,000 dollars by himself for saving his father. During his adventure Tommy will meet 5 other sons of Stockburn each born from a different woman (Rob Schneider, Taylor Lautner, Terry Crews, Luke Wilson and Jorge Garcia) that will help him in having the money, but not without some trouble by the aforementioned one-eyed gang and with various crazy characters met along the way. When Frank hopes to get rich with their sons' original money and the newfound money, Tommy will stop him sparing his life. Once in the Indian village Tommy marries the indian girl seen at the beginning.
I tried to explain the plot in the best way possible as there is much more to it. Lots of funny moments, funny cameos by other actors who already worked with Sandler (Jon Lovitz, Harvey Keitel, Steve Buscemi, John Turturro, David Spade, Vanilla Ice), a nifty soundtrack... my favourite moment must have been the one when Keitel has a fight with Wilson in the saloon and after a while he loses his head (for real)! Also the Lincoln flashback came out the blue in a good way.
Don't trust the many negative reviews for this one because I personally found it very funny in some points and I didn't even expected it. And besides, who would have ever guessed that Adam Sandler would have made a Western released straight to Netflix? If you want some funny movie for a lazy evening at home it's worth the ride.
