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

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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/10/24 Full Review DennisFeinsteinCEO Funny, heartwarming, studded cast, with a great plot... I have no idea how the IMDB and RT ratings are this low. This is classic Sandler WITH Chris Rock... Great movie 👌 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/27/24 Full Review Matt B Horrible. Possibly top ten of worst movies I have ever watched. If you make it to Sandler depicting his mother singing…try stop yourself from dry reaching. Chris Rock has to be one of the most cringe, talentless comedians to walk this planet. Shame on you Buscemi for signing up to this tripe. 🤮 Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/26/24 Full Review Rebecca B Not anything like the usual Adam Sandler/Happy Gilmore films. They are my normal go to comfort films to watch and I turned to this thinking it would be the same. I watched 25 minutes and hoped for the best. It took a lot out of me to watch the 25 minutes. It was dull and dragged the whole time before I finally switched it off. Its clearly not written by Adam Sandler just produced as it is boring, dull and monotone. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/12/24 Full Review compucombo Awful. I will never get the 8 hours it took to watch this Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/06/24 Full Review Read all reviews
