Adam Sandler's 100% Fresh Netflix standup special doesn't pander to its audience

The A.V. Club

At this stage of his career, Sandler is as experimental as he's always been with mixed results, says Jesse Hassenger. "Some of this material is very funny, some of it is mildly amusing, and some of it is negligible," he says of the special that dropped today. "What’s most gratifying about 100% Fresh is how engaged the Sandman (who repeatedly refers to himself as such) seems with the process of doing a mostly-solo show (a keyboardist accompanies him to provide music and backing vocals, and there are a couple of 'additional material' credits)."
