It’s an improvement on most of Sandler’s recent comedies. But that’s faint praise.

This disappointing comedy falls apart before it begins because no one would behave the way its characters do, and their ridiculous choices drive the action.

It could very well be the most unremarkable Hollywood film of the year; a complete waste of time.

Pixels is heavy on 80s iconography, with games like Pac Man, Centipede, Donkey Kong and even characters like Max Headroom being represented. While an older generation may get these references, the same might be lost on younger audiences. Sandler unfortunately brings nothing new to the table; his expressions remain the same as you’d have seen in The Wedding Singer.

PIXELS is light, fun watch for the fans of the 80s arcade games. Don’t expect anything spectacular from it though.

I don’t know what they were smoking when the decided to make this movie – even by the standard of Adam Sandler movies, Pixels is a huge disappointment. This is a mind numbing film with an extraordinarily silly plot.

His latest movie ‘Pixels’ is yet again a horrible experience, and this time it is more frustrating because the concept of the movie is quite amazing. So in contrast to Mr Sandler starring in an already terrible film, this time he has actually ruined a potentially great film.

The plot, written by Tim Herlihy and Timothy Dowling, is clumsily structured. It is perfunctory, weak and mediocre with sexist gags and childish buffoonery. The story lacks logic, motivation and conviction. The characters too, are cardboard thin and unbearably annoying.
