Crazy Credits

After the first part of the end credits, we get one more wedding testimonial from Mike Judge (playing himself). While the second part of the end credits roll, we hear a prank call that Sandy receives. It's Judge doing the voices of Beavis and Butt-Head (1993). After a few minutes, we see Adam Sandler and Judge recording the conversation.

User Reviews

The worst "movie" I've ever seen

Adam Sandler, quit already. You haven't given us anything good since The Longest Yard, anything remotely funny since Zohan. You have been stealing our money for 15 years. Have some shame! Your legacy, once solidly as one of the best comedians to come out of SNL, has turned to crap. Quit while you are behind. Yes, your movies were always silly, but at least you could count on them for some laughs, now that's looong gone. Sandy Wexler... where to start? What a piece of hot manure of a movie. A bunch of has-and- never-beens talking fondly about the inadequecies of a lying and seemingly mentally-challenged movie agent that nevertheless survives in Hollywood by working with talentless losers. Feel sorry for Jennifer Hudson, the only star in her prime in this fiasco, and the only one that really seem to give an effort to save this Titanic. The only redeemable quality of this movie is that it manages to create a new genre: "Not Comedy", that's the only way to describe it. Or perhaps, it is indeed a comedy and the joke is on us, and Adam Sandler is the one laughing, all the way to the bank. If I was Netflix, I demand my money back from Sandler, and a hefty amount for damages to your brand, because, eventhough the movie is free with my subscription, I still feel robbed.
