Adam Sandler's Video Game Movie Ripped Apart in This Honest Trailer

Screen Junkies' Honest Trailers pull no punches when it comes to Adam Sandler and his video game movie, Pixels.

38 Comments

YouTube series Honest Trailers is known for tearing down and poking fun at movies, but its latest episode on Adam Sandler's Pixels is downright brutal. It not only rakes Pixels over the coals, it takes aim at Sandler's career, too. You can watch it for yourself below.

Honest Trailers points out a number of Pixels' ridiculous moments including Sandler's tendency to call people random names, the American soldiers that are too dumb to understand patterns, and how weird it is that a character turned Q-Bert into a lady and had Q-Bert babies with her. Sean Bean, who's known for his movie deaths, also appeared in the movie, and his lack of death is addressed--though Honest Trailers believes he died on the inside.

Pixels received a negative critical response and has an average review score of 27 on GameSpot sister site Metacritic. Despite this, it earned $244.9 million, which exceeded its $88 million budget. However, money spent on marketing is not included in the budget.

Sandler signed a four-movie deal with Netflix in 2014. The first two of those movies--The Ridiculous Six and The Do-Over--are available to stream right now. The Ridiculous Six broke a Netflix record for most views in a month for a single movie--this includes both Netflix Originals and licensed films. However, both movies were critically panned.
