They nailed the esthetics of the comic for sure. The stories are well paced and well-acted with each episode building in such a way you can't wait for the next one, which makes sense, as it follows the comic (which were masterpieces) pretty closely and that's exactly how comics work, wildly interesting and episodic. That said, the choices to add characters for no other reason I can see other than to promote an agenda are the shows downfall. Apparently, every couple in the world is now interracial and most likely also gay. In a world where representation becomes above all else, why don't straight same race couples get representation? No clue. They make up the vast majority of couple in the world today, so not being included is VERY noticeable and honestly just makes a lot of people roll their eyes. More and more films and show that put identity and woke politics above story and entertainment, have been underperforming lately and with good reason... they cater to a minority and turn off a majority. Hopefully the story and acting of Sandman keeps it from falling into that camp, in spite of the un-necessary woke nonsense.
It's not on the same level as 50 First Dates, but this is an enjoyable family friendly rom-com in the same vein. If you've ever seen a Sandler film in the past, then you know what to expect. You'll either probably love it or hate it. I dunno if I'd say I loved it, but I certainly liked it well enough to watch more than once. I think it was better the second time I watched it to be honest. It's pretty by the numbers but the African location is cool and it's charming enough to make it stand out.
There is a reason this was released years ago but has no users reviews. It's a short, confusing mess, that seem less a short about Bigfoot and more about a personal smear champaign I guess? Not really sure, it's not compelling and it's mainly uncomfortable. The production values are solid. There are some notable Bigfoot researcher and some nobodies discussing Bigfoot, but the main gist of the film seem to a short heavily edited portion where the main focus seems to be to humiliate Esteban Sarmiento. Not sure who thought that was a good idea. Not terrible, bit that segment is simply propaganda and has nothing to do with Bigfoot. Don't bother.
