We had tried to watch Me and My Gal which in theory should have been great, pre-Code fast talking wisecracking Spencer Tracy as a cop, but there was this drunken character who was so annoying that we just couldn't watch any more. (We'd also had to abandon The Murder Man as the print was so bad.) Then we thought we'd enjoy Sandra Dee as Gidget but the fucking bastards had cropped the CinemaScope print to 4x3! Making it obviously unwatchable.
I bought this solely because Emma Fuhrmann from The Magic of Belle Isle was in it, but fortunately it turned out to be largely enjoyable, a sort of Partridge Family retelling.
It opens with a disastrous blind date in which to be fair Adam Sandler behaves atrociously, watching the game on TV rather than look at his date and drinking Drew Barrymore's beer. (Music and Lyrics was 2007.) But of course yadda yadda they end up in South Africa together (and it actually is South Africa) with their offspring, his daughters Bella Thorne, Fuhrmann, and Alyvia Alyn Lind and her sons Braxton Beckham (The Good Place) and Kyle Red Silverstein.
They are tweakled by a cheery MC Terry Crews and a chorus of sarcastic black South Africans.
