I just got done watching "Spaceman" starring Adam Sandler and the only good news is that I am here to I report that you can spare wasting an hour and a half of your life on it. Since it starred Adam Sandler and was about space travel, I thought it would be some sort of funny space comedy. WRONG! Instead it was an exceedingly maudlin and sad story that pretty much goes nowhere.
I can break it down to Man meets Giant Spider who acts as his shrink to make him appreciate his wife. I kid you not. Also we are supposed to believe the Czech Republic has a space program capable of sending someone to the other end of the solar system? Oh, and why do they have a communication device on the space ship that looks like a large clunky cell phone from the mid-90s? In fact, that's what I think they used for a prop.
It had comedy possibilities with a Giant Talking spider but instead it was just flat out depressing.
Adam Sandler movies appeal to some folks and never will to others, similar to Nick Cage.
A bad Adam Sandler movie? How unusual.
Your first mistake was thinking that because it starred Adam Sandler that it would be funny.
Too late... woulda been better off smashing my finger with a hammer.
OK. Now you've ruined the movie. It's Charlotte's Web in space.
I should have marked it as a spoiler comment. My bad. Ha Ha.
we turned it off after 15 minutes. The spider talks? I assumed it was a hallucination. But it was just boring.
Another one to miss is Poor Things. Ugly plot, ugly actress, and the pornographic x rated sex scenes are ugly too. But the critics said it was about female empowerment.
