Review of Pixels (2015) by Movie1997 — 22 Aug 2015
Is it any shocker that his latest movie is nothing more than the usual Sandler shtick? Unfortunately no. "Pixels" is just another Sandler fest with a bunch of arcade video games from the 80s.
It's incredibly unfunny with some of the stupidest sub-plots in any Sandler movie in general. It's also got forced relationships between Adam Sandler and Michelle Monaghan and even Josh Gad and Ashley Benson.
And Kevin James is just awful as the President. THE PRESIDENT! As far as the action sequences with the arcade games, they are fantastic to watch. The whole Pac-Man scene in particular is just outstanding to watch (if you ignore the idiotic comedy in between).
But what's sad about "Pixels", a movie about arcade video games, is that they are barely in the movie. They probably only make up about 25% of the entire movie. The other 75% is focused on our terrible main characters, their childishly idiotic humor and their annoying sub-plots that have nothing to do with a movie about video games attacking earth.
Overall, the fun action sequences are mostly pushed to the side thanks the movies terrible writing and crappy characters. I give "Pixels" a D-! Be sure to check out my YouTube channel "LittleMovieBoy for more reviews.
