I admire Adam Sandler's dedication to his pals:  A couple of times a year he gets the gang together than would likely exerience difficulty getting work in Hollywood without his assistance and throws together some garbage movie so everyone can get paid.  If it weren't for Adam, i think David Spade, Rob Schneider, Nick

 Swardson, and definitely Jonathan Loughran likely wouldn't be in anything.

But even though I think it is fantastic that Sandler and his production company Happy Madison are so dedicated to the boys, these films are never good.   *The Wrong Missy* is not an exception to that rule.

This is a story about Tim Morris (Spade) who goes on a a blind date with a woman named Missy.  He is loud, brash, and annoying in his mind and the date is a disaster.  While at the airport he runs into a woman that seems to be perfect for him who gives him her number and it turns out her name is also Missy.  

On the way to a work retreat in Hawaii he texts "Missy" to join him on the vacation - she says yes and he is thrilled, only to realize when Missy turns up that he sent the text to "the wrong Missy."

What follows is 90 minutes of sequences of events that are mostly filled with the usual Sandler juvenile humor with David Spade providing the voice of reason that he has always played ever since his pal Chris Farley was still alive.  Don't get think that I am hating on Spade, I actually like him but when the film ends up bringing along the rest of Sandler's crew, it always ends up being the same.

The most annoying unnecessary addition to the cast is, as it usually ends up being, the talentless Rob Schneider who one again plays a bit role as a native with a stupid fake accent.  Thankfully, he isn't in very much of the film and once again, his character has nothing at all to do with the overall story.

I suppose the one ray of light in this film is Lauren Lapkus who plays the wrong Missy.  She is painstakingly irritating just as she was meant to portray.  Her on screen performance is difficult to watch and she is extra cringe - but that was exactly what she was supposed to do.

In the end this is a love story whose end result is something we are able to determine about 15 minutes into the film and it follows exactly that path.   This movie has been done several times before and I thought the only time the premise actually worked was when it was called *Forgetting Sarah Marshall*

It took me two sittings to get through this film and I would be surprised if most people even bother to try to get to the end of it.  I feel bad saying this about David Spade because I really like him and he was one of my all time favorite characters on Saturday Night Live, but this movie is **not good** and even the exotic surroundings and brilliant performance by Lauren Lapkus can't compensate for that.
