The stars listed in the Youtube description for the above video, which account for about half of that description, are as follows:<\/p>\n<p>Elizabeth Banks, Michael Ian Black, Bradley Cooper, Judah Friedlander, Janeane Garofalo, Joe Lo Truglio, Ken Marino, Christopher Meloni, Marguerite Moreau, Zak Orth, Amy Poehler, David Hyde Pierce, Paul Rudd, Molly Shannon, and Michael Showalter.<\/p>\n<p>Banks, Cooper, Poehler and Rudd are each stars in their own right today. When the film first came out, though, they were just best summer camp buds.<\/p>\n<h2>Grandma&#8217;s Boy<\/h2>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the seminal Adam Sandler 90&#8217;s film without Adam Sandler. A collection of infantile men stumble and bumble their way through a hamfisted plot consisting almost entirely of script-writing tropes drawn directly out of Disney fairy tales. Also there&#8217;s a bunch of cursing, absurd jokes and pointless but oddly fulfilling characters. And the whole thing is glued together by video games.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bensbargains.com\/thecheckout\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Grandmas-Boy.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19537\" src=\"https:\/\/bensbargains.com\/thecheckout\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Grandmas-Boy.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Grandma's Boy Netflix in July 2015\" width=\"780\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bensbargains.com\/thecheckout\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Grandmas-Boy.jpg 780w, https:\/\/bensbargains.com\/thecheckout\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Grandmas-Boy-300x162.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Does that makes you want to watch it? The answer is either an extreme no or an extreme yes. There is no in between.<\/p>\n<h2>Changeling<\/h2>\n<p>Clint Eastwood directs Angelina Jolie in a tale about kidnapping in 1920&#8217;s Los Angeles. It&#8217;s a ponderous, grand-scaled tale that certainly dips into melodrama in a way only Eastwood can regularly justify. Still, it&#8217;s compelling to finally have a reason for Jolie&#8217;s starpower &#8211; a precursor in that way to the massively successful\u00a0<em>Maleficent.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bensbargains.com\/thecheckout\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Changeling.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19536\" src=\"https:\/\/bensbargains.com\/thecheckout\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Changeling.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Changeling Netflix in July 2015\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1064\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bensbargains.com\/thecheckout\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Changeling.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/bensbargains.com\/thecheckout\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Changeling-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bensbargains.com\/thecheckout\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Changeling-1024x681.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here are the rest of the offerings for Netflix in July 2015, including dates for the above featured.
