CONTENIDOS DE LA PAGINA
Adam Sandler stars in and produces his latest Netflix film You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah, a coming of age comedy in which he’s not the only Sandler to show off their comedy chops, his daughter Sunny, 14, plays the lead role. On Apple TV+, a new docuseries, Wanted: The Escape of Carlos Ghosn reveals the true story of the mysterious Nissan executive who smuggled himself out of Japan to evade prosecutors. And Hulu subscribers can now check out Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, the blockbuster dropped this week on the service.
Adam Sandler’s relationship with Netflix is almost as intimate as his relationship with his wife and kids, so of course he managed to bring all of them together for You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah. The new comedy co-stars his daughters Sadie and Sunny, as well as his wife Jackie, for a sweet adaptation of Fiona Rosenbloom’s YA book about two best friends going through the hell that is middle school, as they deal with complicated friendships, boy troubles, and of course, their bat mitzvah ceremonies.
Carlos Ghosn was a titan of industry as the chairman of Nissan Motors. That all changed when he was arrested on charges that he misappropriated millions of dollars worth of the company’s funds for personal use. After his arrest, Ghosn stunned the world when he disappeared, literally smuggling himself out of Japan inside a box, to avoid capture. This new four-part Apple TV+ docuseries examines Ghosn’s legal issues, which are still ongoing, as well has the truly bizarre details of his escape.
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves was one of last spring’s biggest hits thanks to it’s winning action-adventure-comedy combo. In it, Chris Pine plays Edgin Darvis, a Harper who joins with Holga (Michelle Rodriguez), a barbarian, and several others in order to rescue Edgin’s daughter Kira after she has been captured. Filled with exceptional supporting characters played by Justice Smith, Hugh Grant, and Regé-Jean Page, and more, the film is an entertaining adventure heist worth checking out now that it’s available on Hulu.
