The Week Of

What to Know

Critics Consensus

The Week Of suggests promise in further collaborations between Sandler and Robert Smigel, but its shopworn premise and listless execution aren't enough to recommend it.

Glenn Kenny New York Times How bad could it be? Well, as the popular "Mad Men" meme goes, it's "Not great, Bob!" Aug 3, 2018 Full Review Rafer Guzman Newsday There's no way audiences would pay to see The Week Of at a theater. Even streaming it might feel like a rip-off. Rated: 0.5/4 May 1, 2018 Full Review Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times Even with helpful title cards telling us it's "MONDAY," "TUESDAY," etc., etc., this is a week that feels 10 days long. Rated: 1.5/4 Apr 27, 2018 Full Review Q.V. Hough Vague Visages Like an aging fighter that steps into the ring on short notice, Robert Smigel's The Week Of is overweight, unfocused and hungry for a paycheck. Feb 20, 2022 Full Review Kiko Vega Espinof 'The Week Of' is a hilarious and touching story about the fear of disappointment, stubbornness and the most heartfelt farewells of middle / lower class parents that a film with an explicit tribute to 'Footloose' may have. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Mar 4, 2019 Full Review Thom Denson One Room With A View It's not so much a bad film, just an immensely tepid one with phoned-in performances, sadly an increasingly common occurrence for the leading pair. Rated: 2/5 Feb 13, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Robert H The Week Of on Netflix, starring Adam Sandler, is a comedy that left me with mixed feelings. While it didn't quite hit the mark, it still managed to deliver some genuine laughs and heartfelt moments. The film follows the story of two fathers, Kenny Lustig (Adam Sandler) and Kirby Cordice (Chris Rock), from different walks of life, as they navigate the chaos of their children's wedding week. The setup is ripe for humor, and the cast, which includes Rachel Dratch, Steve Buscemi, and Allison Strong, delivers some solid performances. Adam Sandler, in particular, brings his signature goofiness to the role of Kenny, and his chemistry with Chris Rock is undeniable. The two comedians play off each other well, and their banter provides some of the film's funniest moments. However, the movie's tone can be inconsistent at times, veering wildly from slapstick humor to more sentimental scenes. The pacing also feels a bit sluggish, with some scenes dragging on longer than necessary. Despite these flaws, The Week Of still manages to be an enjoyable, if unremarkable, watch. If you're a fan of Adam Sandler or Chris Rock, you'll likely find some laughs here. Just don't go in expecting a comedy classic. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/28/25 Full Review Trevor B The Week Of was terrible!!! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/13/25 Full Review Lee F Couldn't get through 10 minutes of this s**t Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/03/25 Full Review Audience Member It's an adam Sandler film that's for sure. This film is really enjoyable if you like his films not his best for sure but absolutely worth a watch. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/25 Full Review Ed R Please allow me to give this movie 0 starts. I’m beyond sad to say that Happy Madison and Adam Sandler have let me down. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/30/24 Full Review David B I didn’t even laugh a single time.
