WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

A middle-class father (Sandler) is determined to pay for his daughter’s wedding in a week’s time, despite the constant prodding from the much wealthier father of the groom (Rock). Both of their families are soon forced together as they all prepare for the wedding in a week’s time…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

The fourth and final film in Adam Sandler’s four-movie deal with Netflix will no doubt please fans of the actor’s work, but hopefully it will also show a slightly more mature side to his on-screen antics.
