In Adam Sandler: 100% Fresh, a good part of the audience will have the opportunity to meet comedian (and not the actor) Adam Sandler for the first time (watch here).
It’s strange to say that, considering he has been one of the most famous actors of the last 20 years with his somewhat mindless comedies (“Little Nicky”, “Big Daddy”, “Click”, etc), besides more serious roles (“Punch-Drunk Love”, “Reign Over Me”, “The Meyerowitz Stories”). It turns out that in this special from Netflix, he goes back to his roots as a stand-up comedian. A position, by the way, that he should never have given up: his talent for tearing up laughs is much more evident here.

Adam Sandler: 100% Fresh is almost a documentary, where besides watching his performances in several places of the United States, we also get to know a little bit more of his personal life. It is the first time in many years that we are not seeing a character, but the actor stripped of any mask. It’s Sandler being Sandler the whole time, without the need to incorporate another person.
Sandler is clever at telling cases of his life in form of jokes. He is very sharp as a stage comedian, as he maintains an excellent comedy time. In addition, he also insists on playing instruments and singing songs – in most cases, parodies – composed by him and his team, who are laughing out loud. The comedian, by doing so, shows that he is still capable of tearing up laughs without appealing to the nonsense and slapstick – and even half-dated humor – that he always shows in his movies.
It is known that Sandler has signed an agreement with Netflix for several productions, and Adam Sandler: 100% Fresh is part of the package. It would be interesting if the comedian, observing the success of this production, gave up making more films to fulfill the contract and invested in that stand-up format, since the result shown is infinitely better. Upon returning to his past office, he awakens a talent that seemed to be lost forever.
