The Ridiculous 6

Netflix Release Date: 11th December 2015

An outlaw who was raised by Native Americans discovers that he has five half-brothers; together the men go on a mission to find their wayward, deadbeat dad (www.imdb.com).

Director: Frank Coraci (Zookeeper, Here Comes the Boom, Blended)

Starring: Adam Sandler, Terry Crews, Jorge Garcia, Taylor Lautner, Rob Schneider, Luke Wilson, Nick Nolte

I'm a Taurus, so naturally, I'm short tempered. If I'm made to feel stupid then walking out of certain situations is the best thing to, before the heckles rise. The Ridiculous 6 is aptly named. It is ridiculous, but most of all, it's stupid, and makes you feel stupid. Adam Sandler, this time in a western setting, piles the dick, sick and shit jokes very high. Sandler and his five brothers with different mothers go off on a quest to save their shared Dad. They steal money from bad people to pay off a ransom. I think of them as a really poor version of Robin Hood and his merry men. All cast members fail to live up to previous standards; Terry Crews is probably the better of them but isn't funny in the slightest. Rob Schneider's Mexican is as painful as his flatulent donkey. Taylor Lautner's stupidity goes full distance ('everybody knows you never go full retard - Kirk Lazarus, Tropic Thunder) and Adam Sandler attempts a Clint Eastwood style serenity that doesn't match the film's tone. And that tone is way low. There's one positive out of this: you won't have to pay any extra to view it. I only hope the next film in the Netflix/Sandler contract is better.

1.5/5
