It’s hard to say at this stage particularly what he’ll do with the new position (and Adam Sandler’s recent work has us very concerned about his involvement), but it certainly gives us inclination to keep a closer eye on the development of the movie.
The premise of The Week Of isn’t tremendously exciting, just because we’ve seen versions of this comedic setup hundreds of times – but what does make the film particularly intriguing is Robert Smigel’s hand in the production.
