The Week Of is a 2018 comedy film directed by Robert Smigel and starring Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, and Steve Buscemi. The film tells the story of two fathers who are brought together by the upcoming wedding of their children. Kenny Lustig (Adam Sandler) is a working-class man with a large family who is thrilled to be able to give his daughter a dream wedding. Kirby Cordice (Chris Rock) is a successful surgeon with a small family who is less enthusiastic about the wedding but agrees to attend. Throughout the course of the week leading up to the wedding, Kenny and Kirby have to deal with a variety of challenges, both personal and practical, as they try to ensure that everything goes smoothly.

One of the major plot points of the film is the clash of cultures between Kenny and Kirby. Kenny's family is loud, boisterous, and often crass, while Kirby's family is refined and well-mannered. The differences between the two families provide ample fodder for humor, particularly in the scenes where they are forced to spend time together.

Another key theme of the film is the relationship between fathers and their children. Kenny and Kirby both want to do the right thing for their kids, but they have very different ideas about what that means. Kenny is overprotective and tends to smother his daughter with attention, while Kirby is more hands-off but is sometimes too quick to delegate important decisions to others.

Throughout the course of the film, both men realize that they have lessons to learn from each other. Kenny learns to be more independent and let go of his daughter, while Kirby learns to be more involved in his son's life and take charge when necessary.

The Week Of also features a strong supporting cast that includes Steve Buscemi as the owner of the wedding venue, Rachel Dratch as Kenny's wife, and Allison Strong as the bride-to-be. The film is notable for its ensemble cast, which allows for a wide variety of comedic talent to shine through.

Overall, The Week Of is an enjoyable comedy that manages to balance its comedic moments with heartfelt ones. While it may not break any new ground in terms of storytelling, it benefits from the chemistry between Sandler and Rock, as well as the strong supporting performances from the rest of the cast. For fans of Adam Sandler's particular brand of humor, The Week Of is a must-see.

The Week Of is a 2018 comedy with a runtime of 1 hour and 56 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.2 and a MetaScore of 41.
