When I read the reviews, I was about to say to myself, "If the movie is this bad, why watch it?" The I just walked into the video shop and me and my friend wanted to choose the worst movie to see how long we could survive. We took Pixels. That's when I thought to myself, "Man, this is a great movie! Why do the critics have to be so down on it?" Yes, it has some silliness in it but what can we say, this is an Adam Sandler film. Of course it won't be the comedy we most adore. This film is different and deserves a chance on the shelf.
