The Week Of Review: 1 Up & 8 Downs

3. Not Enough Chris Rock

Though the marketing suggests that The Week Of is very much a buddy movie co-starring Sandler and Rock, Rock actually has a considerably smaller role than advertised.

For starters, he's barely in the first 40 minutes of the movie, and given how many scenes he mysterious disappears from throughout the film, it's pretty clear it was shot around his schedule.

Sandler is the main character in every sense, which is pretty disappointing. Even though Rock doesn't exactly light the screen up here, his presence at least ensures audiences don't have to put up with Sandler alone (which they unfortunately do so often in the film).
