The Ridiculous 6 had a bigger budget than the Hateful Eight. Jut let that sink in for a minute. A disproportionate amount of it must have went to acting fees 'cause this sure as hell doesn't look like a big budget movie.At this point it's all just a giant ruse to get Adam Sandler and his mates paid. Well, at least Sandler's pictures are out of the theatre and straight to netflix which is a step in the right direction.Congratulations all Netflix subscribers on paying for David Spade's new yacht. He's earned it.

First off, I believe this movie got bad reviews because some would consider it racist. This movie came out at the peak of political correctness, so that is why I think it got bad reviews.The intro of the movie has a sign that reads, "No Injuns" then the camera pans to another sign that reads, "NO REDSKINS!". It is in my humble opinion that people who rated this movie 1/10 didn't even watch this movie and/or they really dislike Adam Sandler.Lastly, this is a fun movie with a smahingly-great cast that you can tell really enjoyed making the movie. The only part I thought was slow and not needed was in the beginning ith Sandler' s father. That part was a snore fest. Other than that part the movie is interesting and has a good pace.Don't believe the snowflakes.

With Adam Sandler's theatrical movies a few years ago starting to receive diminishing returns at the box office, one would think he would start moving into low budget direct to DVD movies. But Netflix came along, and Sandler has settled there for the time being, making new movies there. All the same, I was expecting this movie to be tacky and low budget, but surprisingly Netflix spent a lot of money, making a movie whose production values are as strong as a theatrical movie made by a major Hollywood studio. But is there anything else noteworthy about the movie? Well, it does have an offbeat supporting cast, and these actors do the best with what they are given. But the screenplay (co-written by Sandler) doesn't give them much of substance. Most of the characters are thinly written and don't have much dimension. A bigger stumble is that the movie's level of humor for the most part isn't that clever or funny. It may tickle Sandler's die hard fans, but I think most people will find the humor juvenile and unsubtle. And the movie certainly didn't have to be two hours long; the padding is very evident, and could have easily been cut out. With Netflix recently raising their subscription prices, I hope they use their new found money to be spent on better projects.

Lets see, where to start with this one! Right off the bat I can tell you that it is a typical Adam Sandler movie. If you like the others, you will find this one appealing. If you don't like his other movies you will probably hate this movie.Lets talk specifics. The Netflix Original movie is 1 hour and 59 minutes (119 minutes) long. The time frame is decent and if you are into the movie it will fly by. This movie is one of the most well known actor, jammed packed as they come. You can sit on IMDb.com and scroll for a while and still see names you recognize. I'm not sure this movie paid well for anyone, but was more of a fun project. On top of the already mentioned leads you have names like: Will Forte, Steve Zahn, Nick Nolte, Jon Lovitz, David Spade, Danny Trejo, Nick Swardson, Blake Shelton, and Vanilla Ice. Honestly that list keeps going, its incredible how many people they got to be in this movie.As we look to the plot, you quickly realize, like most of his movies it is loose and only there as a basic structure. To sum it up Tommy (Adam Sandler) is an orphan raised by Native Americans. His dad comes back and then gets taken. The rest of the movie is about him and his newly found five brothers trying to rescue their dad. Again, the movie is really more about the cast and how they interact with each other.The humor in the movie is 'stupid' and 'childish', and that isn't meant in a mean/bashing way. It, at times, is very inappropriate and brash. Other times it is just corny, and you wonder how these movie keep getting funded at all. That being said if you like that sort of humor even a little bit, you will laugh. I'll be the first to admit that these movies are a nice getaway from everyday life. It is nice to be able to watch a movie and not have to worry about following it too closely. I do like 'stupid' humor and I laughed a lot.It is as random as they come and to see all of these people play parts you never thought they would, it's pretty amazing.But, when you turn to the aspect of scoring/rating a movie like this they are always low. Scoring is serious and movies that aren't taken too seriously on purpose, know they will be ranked low before they even start. As for being a comedy, yes but not well thought out comedy. As for western
..it takes part in the West, but that's about it. Again it's loose, the themes of a western aren't there but the costumes and what not are. Take it with a grain of salt.In summary, I laughed. The plot is basic. You never know which actor you will see next, and they all work great together in weird roles. It is your typical Sandler movie and should be treated as such. If I had a choice of never seeing it in the first place or watching it twice, I would watch it again.That being said movies like this fall flat in the ratings and I would personally give this movie a 4.5/10
