After earning a reputation for being savaged by film critics, Adam Sandler has turned things around and broken a Rotten Tomatoes record with his new Netflix film, which stars both his wife and daughters.

The film follows Stacy Friedman and her best friend Lydia Katz, who are navigating the ups and downs of middle school.
