30 Most Hotly Anticipated Movies Still To Come In 2017 - Ranked

22. The Meyerowitz Stories

The Meyerowitz Stories Adam Sandler Dustin Hoffman Noah Baumbach
Netflix

Release Date: October 13th

Billed As:

A serious Adam Sandler movie, which would usually mean it will tank at the box office but be genuinely good. Luckily, it's debuting on Netflix, so the money won't be an issue.

Hype:

Usually, the combination of Sandler and Netflix would be enough to absolutely fill you with horror - given what they've achieved together so far - but this is an entirely different breed to the slapstick, awful comedies you'll be used to.

Sandler heads a cast with the likes of Ben Stiller, Emma Thompson and Dustin Hoffman also in there and with Noah Baumbach directing, you're guaranteed quirks and bittersweet turns. Rumour has it - out of Cannes - that Sandler once more flourishes in a more serious role in which he actually has to act, and precedent suggests that it might be one of his best films.
