Enter Sandman

Film critics generally pan Adam Sandler's works but Netflix users can't seem to get enough of him. Subscribers have watched over half a billion hours (and counting) of Sandler movies - enough for the internet streaming giant to sign the comedian to make films exclusively for them.

His latest is the feature-length stand-up special 100% Fresh, which believe it or not, actually has a rather respectable rating of 88 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes.

The humour is unsurprisingly lowbrow but what you see is what you get; and the Sandman's earnest charm is enough to make you want to check out one of his flicks right after the end credits roll. (We highly recommend the offbeat Sandy Wexler, also available on Netflix.) That touching Bruce-Springsteen-inspired musical tribute to his buddy and fellow funnyman, the late Chris Farley, is another reason not to miss this.
