Netflix has another Adam Sandler movie coming out, but it's not what you think. This one actually looks good.
OK, to be sure, The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected) isn't really an "Adam Sandler movie" in the sense that Ridiculous 6 and Sandy Wexler are "Adam Sandler movies."
This is a new film from writer-director Noah Baumbach (The Squid and the Whale), starring Sandler, Ben Stiller, and Elizabeth Marvel as the adult children of a famous artist father (played by Dustin Hoffman).
The Meyerowitz Stories premiered at Cannes earlier this year to a glowing reception, with critics singling out Sandler's performance in particular.
It's not the first time he's gotten rave reviews – he's also gotten high praise for films like Punch-Drunk Love and Funny People – but he's in so much bad stuff that it's easy to forget how good he can be in the right role.
Nice of The Meyerowitz Stories to come around and give us a reminder. The film hits Netflix on Oct. 13.
