The Earth is being invaded – by actual space Invaders. Also Donkey Kong, Pac-Man and more – so the US President (Kevin James) drafts his old buddy, master video game player Sam Brenner (Adam Sandler), to help save the world. Pixels is directed by Chris Columbus, so it shouldn’t be the usual Adam Sandler goof. […]
