Review of The Ridiculous 6 (2015) by Dustin H — 23 Apr 2016
The Ridiculous Six, brings a nice blend of the western genre and comedy from "Waterboy" director Frank Coraci. A lot of people seem to be hating on this film, but I thought it was a hilarious return to some classic comedic roots.
Sandler stars and with him, he pulls in many of the former actors from previous Happy Madison productions in return. I was surprised at the number of cameo's and big name celebrities who have been busy with much bigger projects, and turned out for much smaller roles in this film! Trying to name all the different people in character was a blast, and I was surprised at how well some of them were hidden behind their costumes.
The plot isn't difficult to follow, and although completely disjointed, makes sense for this comedic romp. The idea isn't to over-think things too much, and just enjoy the humor. There are a few crude moments that fall flat, and jokes that just didn't make me laugh at all, but they really have some great run on jokes throughout the film, and even from other movies from Sandler's repertoire. The only criticism I have is Taylor Lautner's performance which I just found more annoying than funny.
So enjoy it for what it is, a silly little comedy brought to you by some of the biggest names in the business. It's no "Blazing Saddles" by any means.
1/5.
