This is the first review I ever wrote on imdb, the only reason being that I just cannot believe the negativity on here! I've never been an Adam Sandler fan - I used to avoid all the movies featuring him- but having given Murder Mystery a chance and really enjoyed it, I gave 'The week of' a shot as well. Thankfully before having checked the reviews beforehand, or I would have passed on this beauty.
Man, I laughed my ass off! It's been a long time since a movie had me laughing this hysterically. And the best part is that the film was so relatable and sweet. I started thinking of my own crazy family members and friends and the situations we could find ourselves into if we would be worse with social barriers, like this family clearly is. I loved that Adam Sandler and Chris Rock had a more 'serious' role, this made everything that happened all the more funny.
I give this 10 stars because it has all that I expect from a good comedy: great laughs, multiple hysterical bursts of laughter and a nice plot with touching moments and a heartwarming message.
So yes, give this one a shot!
