If you've watched multiple Adam Sandler movies, the humor is nothing that you wouldn't expect. But the action based around the premise of Pixels is ludicrous. Aliens attacking Earth in the form of video game characters? Come on, only Adam Sandler can do that and still make it a good watch. The idea of Kevin James playing president of the US furthers my point, and I had no idea Peter Dinklage was like that. There were some moments/scenes that felt kind of rough/dry, but Pixels is a very unique film that was executed well. This is not meant to be looked through a critical lens, so just enjoy it for what it is: stupid that makes you want more.
