After a long break, comic actor Adam Sandler gets serious again in The Meyerowitz Stories
IT HAPPENS, ROUGHLY, every seven years. Amid relentless runs of the usual goofy fare, Adam Sandler gets plucked away to work his cojones on something more serious. First came Paul Thomas Anderson’s Punch-Drunk Love (2002), then Judd Apatow’s Funny People (2009), and now, Noah Baumbach’s The Meyerowitz Stories, and it’s possibly the actor’s most affecting performance yet.
While the action swirls around bitter old patriarch Harold (Dustin Hoffman), it is essentially the story of his two put-upon sons — the unemployed Danny (Adam Sandler) and his hotshot half-brother Matthew (Ben Stiller). It got a standing ovation at Cannes and will be Empire’s Laugh Gala screening at this year’s BFI London Film Festival.
