Between this an uncut gems, Sandler has really pivoted to more serious roles. More talented actor than I realized

Punch Drunk Love (2002) and Reign Over Me (2006) we’re really good serious roles too

I was just reading this article the other day. While Sandler was filming in Philly he got a few NBA and other Philly basketball names to play a pick up game at Imhotep. Justin Edwards was one of the people recruited for the game, along with Trae Young, Tobias Harris and others. Apparently Sandler is pretty good.

Adam Sandler joined Tobias Harris, other NBA stars for a ‘real Philly’ pickup game while filming ‘Hustle’

Trae Young, Boban Marjanović, and more took a break from filming to play some basketball at Imhotep Charter — but Sandler's bulldog, Bagel, had to wait outside.

God I hope this is better than Uncut Gems. That was terrible.

It's one of those weird movies where the audience rating and critics rating are completely different on rotten tomatoes. I enjoyed it a lot though

I loved it. Best line in movie “Philly are the worst fans. Which makes them the best fans”

Couldn’t disagree more

Coincidentally just watched it last night myself. I'm a huge Sandler fan, so I probably would have enjoyed anything, but I liked it quite a bit myself.

He's actually a pretty damn good serious actor.

Watched it last night as well - was much better than I expected it to be

Yeah I know a lot of people loved it.

I like him as both a comic and serious actor but I hated his character and the storyline of Uncut Gems. We rarely turn a movie off but we did with that one. With about a half hour left we both looked at each other and said we didn’t want to watch it any more. It was pretty clear where it was going and we didn’t care enough to see it. Or more so we were too annoyed by him.

I will see this one though.

i also watched it last night and really enjoyed it! did anyone catch emeka okafor's cameo? i didn't see him, but he appeared in the credits sequence.

Did you go into that movie expecting to be watching Billy Madison? Uncut Gems was very good.

No I was expecting something like Leaving Las Vegas. But I forgot that I ultimately hated that, too. Except for Elisabeth Shue.

Had the same thought myself. Didn't catch him during the movie either.

It's better than Air Bud.

I liked it. And all the hoopsters to a man were better actors than Kevin Garnett.

I didn't like Uncut Gems either.

I believe he was taking a shot with the owner’s son at the memorial service.

Anthony Edwards really played the role of the balloon knot very well haha

He was great. I don't follow the NBA too closely, so I didn't recognize him. Thought it was an actor. A real natural.

Punch Drunk Love (2002) and Reign Over Me (2006) we’re really good serious roles too

Punch Drunk Love is one of my favorite movies ever. The carcrash scene is one of my favorite in any movie.

all the cameos didn’t hurt. and I was curious to see the spots they hit in Philly. I loved that he took one bite out of every cheesesteak. everybody know the rules.

Good movie, really enjoyed it.

I’m surprised it hasn’t been mentioned, but ok the first basketball scrimmage scene with Anthony Edwards there’s a guy with a UConn shirt on, sure enough it’s tarin smith.
