💥 The Ridiculous 6 Reviews

Personal Review

Okay, so I went into this expecting the worst, and honestly, I was still a little disappointed. There were a few genuinely funny moments, mostly thanks to the supporting cast, but overall it felt like a bunch of silly sketches loosely strung together. Vanilla Ice as Mark Twain? Surprisingly good! Taylor Lautner as Lil’ Pete? Hilariously dumb. But Sandler himself seemed a bit…bored? I chuckled a few times, but wouldn’t watch again.

• Who would enjoy:
  • “Fans of Adam Sandler’s broad, slapstick humor”
  • “Viewers looking for a mindless comedy”
  • “Those who enjoy Western spoofs”
• Content warnings ⚠:

  • “Violence”

Professional Reviews

• Rotten Tomatoes: “Crude, lazy, and painfully unfunny, *The Ridiculous 6* arguably represents the nadir of Adam Sandler’s already spotty filmography.
• IMDB: “The film is not a masterpiece, but it is funny. It’s a farce and farces are generally farcical. So if you are looking for a couple of laughs and are not looking for Lawrence of Arabia, The Ridiculous Six is worth a viewing.
• Common Sense Media: “Adam Sandler’s western is crude and offensive, but some kids will laugh. Stereotypes are used as jokes, and the result is often crude and over the top.

Audience Reactions

Unexpected cameos like Vanilla Ice as Mark Twain provided some genuine laughs.: Some people enjoyed the silly, lowbrow humor and didn’t take the movie too seriously.

Fans of Adam Sandler’s earlier work found it reminiscent of his classic style.: The cast created a blend of great comedic talents.

Overall Consensus: A poorly received comedy that relies heavily on juvenile humor and stereotypes, with a few redeeming performances from the supporting cast, but ultimately misses the mark.
