- 60The GuardianJordan HoffmanThe GuardianJordan HoffmanThere is something so authentic in this film that once you get past the annoying voice and some of the dreadfully unfunny side characters, it is disarmingly sweet and even occasionally clever.
- 58ConsequenceBlake GobleConsequenceBlake GobleOf course, there are still product placements, and lowbrow jokes, but there’s an empathetic streak in Sandy Wexler. And that’s something we haven’t seen from Sandler in a long time.
- 42IndieWireDavid EhrlichIndieWireDavid EhrlichIt’s awful, and yet it’s almost objectively Sandler’s best movie since “Funny People.”
- 42The PlaylistWill AshtonThe PlaylistWill AshtonThis newest Sandler vehicle is inspired and warm-hearted where his other recent movies are lazy and soulless. Does that make it a winning success? Hell no, but it’s good to see Sandler put his heart into his work again.

- 20We Got This CoveredRobert Yaniz Jr.We Got This CoveredRobert Yaniz Jr.Perhaps the most egregious aspect of Sandy Wexler isn’t its bland or annoying characters, its cookie-cutter story or even the same cheap physical comedy Sandler had become known for. No, the biggest problem very well may be its 1990s setting.
