Adam Sandler plays a brash, compulsive New York City jeweler and gambler in the latest from the Safdie brothers ('Good Time').
"I think you are the most annoying person on the planet,” someone remarks to Howard Ratner, a madly obnoxious wheeler-dealer in New York’s diamond district. The question immediately becomes whether this frantic, sweaty, manic, disorganized, unreliable and frequently desperate middle-aged man will emerge as a figure of revulsion or fascination to the audience.
The Safdies plunge the audience into the deep end of this world and it’s easy to be both overwhelmed and seriously put off by the vulgarity of it; everyone is brash, it’s the norm for promises and expectations not to be met, feverish yelling is the accepted mode of communication and no day is complete without a new unwelcome incident.
Of course, Howard has a woman on the side, Julia , a nice young lady who — what else? — works at his jewelry store and for whom he provides an apartment. This relationship hits the rocks during this period when Howard is sweating over basketball scores he’s bet big on and whether or not he’ll ever get the big gem back.would need to be on any final list of films in which the greatest percentage of dialogue is yelled.
