Adam Sandler & Idina Menzel with Idina Menzel and a few other past costars

Adam Sandler reteams with Idina Menzel and a few other past costars for a YA comedy, part of his overall deal between Netflix and Happy Madison. Adam Sandler will reunite with his Uncut Gems co-star Idina Menzel in a new Netflix comedy from Happy Madison. Sandler's production company has had a lucrative deal with the streaming giant since 2014, which was again extended in 2020 to include four more movies. Unlike all his previous efforts, 2022 saw two serious-minded Happy Madison releases on the streamer, with Sandler starring in both the basketball drama Hustle and the upcoming Spaceman.


Returning to the realm of comedy, Deadline reports Sandler and Menzel, will reteam for You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah. The film is an adaptation of a coming-of-age YA novel by Fiona Rosenbloom set in the very early-2000s. The story concerns a young girl named Stacey Friedman, whose bat mitzvah plans comedically unravel and threaten to ruin one of the most important events of her young life after she catches her best friend kissing her crush, Andy Goldfarb.


Home Team Proves Happy Madison's Netflix Movies Need Adam Sandler. Home Team's frosty reception and lack of spark prove Netflix needs Adam Sandler to star in his own Happy Madison productions on the platform. Netflix's Home Team proves Happy Madison's movies on the platform need Adam Sandler to truly thrive. Produced by Adam Sandler's Happy Madison, Home Team has been another critical Netflix flop for the comedian's production company, with the based-on-a-true-story comedy sports drama failing to inspire either the laughs or heartwarming moments its premise promises. The presence of several new faces in leading roles such as Twilight's Taylor Lautner and SNL's Chloe Fineman are seemingly orchestrated to shake up proceedings, yet Home Team still feels as if it is crying out for Adam Sandler's presence from start to finish in the same way past Happy Madison productions have.


The film will be directed by Sammi Cohen and written by Alison Peck, who both have experience in the YA sphere. Cohen directed Crush for Hulu, while Peck wrote Work It for Netflix. Sandler is reteaming with several co-stars for the role, as he often does. Besides Menzel, who played Sandler's wife in Uncut Gems, the film will co-star Luis Guzmán, who appeared in Punch-Drunk Love with the Sandler, alongside Sandler's real-life wife Jackie Sandler and teen daughters Sadie and Sunny Sandler. SNL star Sarah Sherman will also have a supporting role. Though not confirmed, Sandler and Menzel will likely play the protagonist Stacey's parents for the Neflix/Happy Madison production.


Home Team follows suspended NFL head coach Sean Peyton (Kevin James), who returns home following his part in the infamous Bountygate scandal in 2012. Initially dejected, Peyton begins to re-connect with his 12-year-old son by coaching his middle-school football team at Liberty Christian High, with his win-at-all-costs mentality quickly returning. Yet under the direction of the Kinnane Brothers, Home Team feels shorn of the complexities that made Sean Peyton's real story so engrossing, with the result being a diluted family comedy that largely misses the mark.


Home Team unequivocally proves that Happy Madison's Netflix movies need Adam Sandler to work. For all his comedic talents, Kevin James cannot single-handedly carry the zany Happy Madison formula in the same way its creator can, meaning any production not containing Adam Sandler feels hollow in comparison. Sandler's prior Netflix and Happy Madison collaborations as an actor are further proof of this, with movies such as Murder Mystery proving a streaming hit in 2019 despite a lukewarm critical reception.

The Progressive era C. B. J. Snyder for Schools

A biography of school architect C. B. J. Snyder, opens a view onto a lost and glorious world of public education in New York City. Early 20th-century Progressives believed that mass public education could combine democracy and excellence. Their hopes shaped the 408 new schools and additions that Snyder designed during his 1891 to 1922 tenure as New York’s superintendent of school buildings. To a degree, Progressives’ hopes were fulfilled. Some Snyder schools, such as Erasmus Hall and Morris High, would produce long lists of notable alumni despite being neighborhood, not exam schools. Snyder biographer Jean Arrington invites us to consider the contribution that design makes to excellence in education. Three factors accounted for the extravagant scale of Snyder’s school building program. The first two were the revenues pouring into the city treasury and the pressures of surging enrollment. In the current era, New York’s traditional district schools have been losi...

It may be tainted, but don’t underestimate the power of brand love

The concept of ‘brand love’ was overused and went out of fashion, it remains an insightful way to consider consumers’ attitudes towards brands. You do realise that this is fantastically untrendy research? I explained to the team from Savanta, when they approached me to give the launch speech for their 2022 Most Loved Brand Award. To top things off, I added, you’ve only gone and split out your findings by segments of the market too. Which is also fantastically uncool. It’s true, is it not? The merest mention of ‘brand love’ elicits a collective groan from the gaggle of opinion leaders that monitor every discussion about marketing. And slicing anything these days by segment opens up the obligatory critique about the pointlessness of segmentation and the reinstalled dominance of mass marketing. It’s a big week for returning shows across the streaming platforms. We have a Season 2, a Season 4, and a Season 9 revving up for release in the coming days, ranging from an A-list workplace co...
