ROOMMATES (2026):
A Madame pick starring Adam Sandler's adult daughter Sadie, who apparently has appeared in most of his films from the past 15 or so years. (I... wouldn't know!) Sadie looks like a perfectly attractive young lady in wide-shot/from a distance, though in close-up it's pretty hard to avoid her facial resemblance to her father... plus she's got his nasal accent and inflection, too. Okay, I'll say it - she's pretty much a younger, slightly sexier  :lookingup: "Jill" from Sandler Sr's infamous JACK & JILL. (I admit I've watched the trailer and a couple random/oft-discussed scenes, like Sandler Sr's romantic scenes w/ Al Pacino.) I don't know how this may impact Sadie's future career prospects... ROOMMATES is produced by Adam, but he's got enough loot to keep underwriting his daughter's career, I'm sure.

Sadie is a college freshman forced to shack up with a complete sociopath (Chloe East, the Mormon who wasn't Sophie Thatcher in HERETIC, though I didn't recognize her until after the film because she was a Mormon in HERETIC and in ROOMMATES she's in a tiny bikini, in flagrante delicto with jocks, etc). The film is narrated in flashback by their R.A. (Sarah "Squirm" Sherman from "SNL", which I don't watch too much but maybe I should 'cause Sarah is a real weirdo and I like her). This framing sequence - where Sherman relates the sketchy narrative to the memorably named Storm Reid and Ivy Wolk (who is also weird and hot) - makes me think ROOMMATES was subject to rewrites and reshoots, but then maybe all Sandlerfilm shooting scripts read like they've been heavily meddled with in post.  :bouncegiggle:

Much of this is no better than the early Sandler vehicles I remember from the 90s and early 00s, but I do like that the film refuses to cop out at the end and reconcile Sadie w/ unrepentant psycho East. Instead, East is punished (somewhat) for her crimes, and for that matter Sadie is held accountable for her own. ROOMMATES bizarrely swipes its resolution from the bleak-as-hell David Mamet play "Edmond" (also a film directed by Stuart Gordon), though ROOMMATES somehow puts a jolly spin on it.

3/5    With welcome appearances from Natasha Lyonne, Carol Kane, Janeane Garofalo, and a Sanderfilm obligatory Buscemi jump-scare near the climax.
