I DO feel like she is pointing directly at ME, urging me to live into the fullness of my potential and do these seasons of life with humility, and whatever other mumbo-jumbo words self-help influencers use -- except, she has a VERY authoritative, glamorous caftan-style dress, and she's Queen Latifah, so she might actually mean them. RIGHT?

Adam looks like the guy who came up on stage to tell her that he just left his house for the first time in 93 days because she inspired him to manifest fresh air.

Truly, I think Adam is wearing scrubs. I thought the shirt was stained at first, too, until I realized I was looking at the pre-download watermark. They're, wait for it, Uncut Jammies. (The other two look very nice. Juancho -- who plays the lead opposite Sandler -- is on the Utah Jazz.)

And here's Kenny Smith, dapper in turquoise and captioned only as "guest." (He's in the movie. I assume he plays himself.)

She plays Juancho's mother, I love the crisp red lip, and I really wish the dress was evenly hemmed all around to the place it is in the front.

Okay, I don't know WHAT those shoes are, but they look like something beautiful an old-timey clockmaker would have. I also like the purple suit, in theory, but I wish it were not satin.

This is very sleek and lovely, although I am lightly wigged out by the cat bag. It looks like it's rolling its eyes at me and hissing, "Oh, please."

Ooh, good necklaces with this, and her eye makeup really works too.

He's looking villainous. That's a compliment, though, somehow.

Usher's sneakers look like the pavement was scorching and they started to melt.

He's an NBA player and former ER doctor and fighter pilot, and he's in the movie. I also just realized that I'm old enough that maybe I have to clarify that the ER/pilot bit is a joke?

I appreciate the commitment to snazz here, even if the laces and the shoes kind of fight each other.

Heidi, of SNL fame, is ALSO in the film. I don't hate this, but I still don't know why people bother with pants that drag on the ground like that. You're missing your feet AND frankly probably ruining the pants.

Are those GUCCI CROCS?!?!? Or Gucci Knockoff Crocks (Croc-offs)? I need a close-up.
