A comedy story revolves around two different fathers, Kenny and Kirby, who are forced to spend a week together in order to attend their children's wedding. They are forced to spend a week together. In a comedy atmosphere, they spend the week fighting each other till the wedding.
What we assume might turn into a patriarchal power struggle never reaches a boil, making for an overly sentimental movie that misuses the outsize talents of its two big stars.
More than most of the Sandler Netflix comedies, it almost feels genuine and heartfelt enough that you think you're about to like it and then it just goes wrong again.
Smigel creates a charmingly manic farce with "The Week Of," playing with wedding build-up clichés and absurdity with remarkable fluidity and appreciation for non-sequitur humor.
If you're willing to take The Week Of on its own terms, it's a goodhearted, sentimental comedy that wants to be The Father of the Bride with more vulgarity.
