sandler has figured out a way to hang out with his friends and get paid for it. most of the time the movies are just the byproduct and I actually respect that. every 10 years or so he actually tries, the rest of the time he's just hanging out with cameras rolling.

That’s probably the best way to rationalize it’s existence without getting mad.

Here's the thing about Adam Sandler: when someone is directing him what to do, he can be a pretty good actor. If it's a Happy Madison script, forget about it.

[@Gemnist98]

It’s more “If he’s producing the movie and it isn’t called ‘Funny People’, RUN. Otherwise, sit back and enjoy the potentially really good movie”.

@-- Well, it has that one scene in the rain at the ending, but it's not a masterpiece.

[@welcometothemetaverse2523]

@- - No, I'm saying that one ending scene in the rain was surprisingly emotional and well acted. It's just that movie Click was an odd film to put it in as it's mostly vulgar jokes.

LITTLE NICKY is my favorite Sandler film. It's too underrated

[@marocat4749]

It is , the mix of the zany humor, the all great actors, even tarentino, my favourite cameo of his, and its sweet, but also celebrates metal. Its underrated if anyone has any love for fun bmovies. I think it is a great bmovie. And sandler, surprising good heart of the story. Its my favourite. And THE metal cult movie. But overall, good balance of all zany things that shouldnt work as well as they do, but do. Great writing. I mean the sheer love and humorous fanservice like ozzy osbourne eating a bat head off a bat(based on a real event) for metal mixed with the humor and it works. Indeed underrated.

[@colinklang]

I grew up watching Sandler. He's part of the 2nd great wave of SNL. I love pretty much everything he's done. Mostly because he's an everyman type of comedian. Each of his roles encompasses some aspect of trying to grow up and figure things out while trying to stay grounded. You have roles like happy Gilmore or Billy Madison where you're just starting out and trying to figure out what you want to do with your life. There's movies like grown ups where you're trying to balance work and family and not lose your damn mind. All of it is just really relatable.

[@monsieurnaggert3134]

I really like the Grown Ups Duology. To me, they are harmless fun. And they make me laugh, even after multiple rewatches. Sometimes, this is just enough for me: to laugh my lungs dry.

Sandler is great in films that aren't Happy Madison productions. Give him a script that he wasn't involved in creating & a real director & he suddenly becomes a great actor.

[@welcometothemetaverse2523]

The one was Adam's character is walking away from the machines that keep him alive, out into the rain, calling out for his son who doesn't notice him until he collapses on the ground. The whole family gathers around and he gives his son the advice to "always put family 1st" and gives tearful good byes to each one of them including a comedic near middle finger gesture to the wife's new husband that he changes to an "OK" gesture. Gives the romantic note he wrote to his ex wife, only to die peacefully with the son crying on his father's chest.

Sandler is so good when he's punching upwards. When he's coming from a disadvantage, he excels. It works if it's comedy or drama. We liked Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, and Waterboy because his character was in a constant state of having to prove himself worthy to a world that's laughing at him. Hell that's how his stand-up comedy worked. His drama works when he has something about himself that he's fighting against, not just an enemy. Confident Sandler does not work. Insecure Sandler can be brilliant.

[@Shift_Salt]

You mean you nearly smacked the face of THE Adam Sandler with a door!? Amazing! :o

[@thatoneeggplant]

Casa de Frank yea 😂😅 he came because I think his kids might being going there in a few years. Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree I guess haha (just hope they can make real friends, not just because of their dad)

[@Crick1952]

Bedtime Stories is still a guilty pleasure of mine. Plus I think The Cobbler is a very underrated movie.

[@loodeeloo8979]

Adam Sandler was like my friend in college who became a coke and sex addict her freshman year bc she was bored and unchallenged before transferring to an Ivy and getting over her addictions. They have so much potential but yet here we are

[@nexus7034]

Lotti Smith yup because drug addiction is on par with just being a shitty actor. Grow up.

[@nerdalotdulac8552]

You know, Idk if it's because I'm latina but I actually love Spanglish. I think is an amazing movie, tackling a subject so common in my life that often surprises me that people doesn't appreciate it more. And, of course, I love Sandler's role in it.

[@thevillageyid]

He gave us Happy Gilmore!

*Seeing a new Rich Dad trailer as a Sandman-defender* SOMEBODY KILL ME PLEEASE, IM ON MY KNEES, PRETTY PRETTY PLEASE

[@Mazxlol]

I grew up watching Adam Sandler’s movies so I think I’m a bit biased but I loved all his movies. Maybe it’s nostalgia speaking but I thought he was really funny. My favorite is Anger Management!

[@giancarlofregoso8]

I love Don’t Mess with the Zohan!!

[@calvingates6185]

Dont mess with zohan is one of the funniest movies i’ve ever. I watched it on netflix about 3 months ago and expected it to be shit but it was actually really entertaining because of how silly it is

[@sonokawaray]

Anger Management is one I always enjoyed. Yeah, it's a case of Sandler being the straight man, and admittedly I think Jack Nicholson ends up being the true star as the crazy but effective therapist, but after this video I realize it's also an interesting idea (at least on paper) to invert the Happy Gilmore type of character; this time Sandler's the seemingly normal guy surrounded by people with explosive rage, and he has to find the healthy middle ground between how they act and his own repressed and equally unhealthy response to problems.

[@laurisaarinen1126]

I love many of his movies. Big Daddy, Anger Management, 50 First Dates and Don't Mess With The Zohan are my favorites. He has been in so many films, there's a lot that's not even mentioned here. I also love the thing how old ladies always have crushes on him, it's one of those Sandler things 🤣

[@grantl2323]

You can’t forget about one of my favorite Adam Sandler movies Anger Management.

[@thecabbageman1]

"No one expects every will farell movie to be great" I usually expect them to be terrible

[@shihtzucorgi1368]

"Click" in the last scene where he became old and is in his son's wedding made me cry. Oscar worthy

[@eddieotero2726]

How can he not have chemistry with Anniston when they've known each other forever... Just go with it was good & The Do-Over is pretty good as well

[@leoaksil4085]

"Uncut gems" was a fantastic movie. It's surprisingly good.

[@omalleycaboose5937]

He's not bad when he tries, Problem is a lot of his movies he doesn't care

[@officialniktheking6891]

Something about "Click" that makes it a multi dimensional and fantastic. I think that's his best movie yeat

[@harrycallahan5018]

I think uncut gems is one of the most refreshing movies I've seen

[@mushrooka]

How TF can you call Just Go With It "terrible"? That's one of the funniest ones...

[@johngraham4584]

i have been searching for this comment I will always love that movie but maybe I have rose tinted glasses

[@mushrooka]

@@johngraham4584 there's just too many funny parts. The sheep shipper is what does it for me.

[@ezziemay637]

For real tho thats the only movie I’m cool watching over and over again 🤣

[@sugasinfireration5863]

It's one of my favorite movies and no one can convince me that it is a terrible movie.

[@jordanhedington2421]

8:08 look at this and tell me sandler couldn’t play bob dylan if he tries

[@RichBandzMf]

I just watched Uncut Gems yesterday and I gotta say, it's definitely his best work in a long time. That ending was crazy too, I felt like I was in that situtation

[@pinh3adssa211]

Definitely a great movie. But holy shit I felt like I was going to have an anxiety attack the whole damn time. That's good moviemaking

[@MikeTheNBAGuy]

Bedtime Stories is one of my favs, underrated movie

[@dinsism]

My favourite films of his are: Punch Drunk Love, Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison, Funny People, Big Daddy, The Waterboy But my favourite performance of him has to be as Howard from Uncut Gems- he was amazing in it!

[@Scriptadiaboly]

PDL yes!!! Why noone mentioned it?

[@guitarrilho502]

I really love Adam Sandler, no joke, of course there is some movies that just doesn't make it but I really like the majority

[@keyzcapone1381]

Click is one of the only movies that made me tear up during the dying scene

[@xskillzdatki11x]

I forgot about “that’s my boy” that movie was hilarious

[@elenacindric340]

Sandler and Samberg, best combination for a comedy

[@skylarhebert5258]

I love all his movies...he doesn't try to please critics ....whatever he makes is whatever goes ...that's true art....approach his movies from a free perspective. Also I like how he still makes those classic comedies that no one else makes ...they somehow feel nostalgic

[@starastro4591]

Adam Sandler is a legendary actor with hit or miss and just ok movies. Either way, if it’s a Sandler movie you’re going to check it out just to see if it’s good or not because of his star quality

[@thisjustincomics]

Grown Ups 2 is the worst I’ve seen. I don’t really like to waste my time and watch a lot of shitty movies

[@lewiscarter1229]

Multimedia Man it’s like they weren’t even trying to be funny with that movie.

[@waveride7063]

How did u manage to finish watching that movie?

Wave Ride I’ve seen worse

ULGROTHA I know all to well about that

[@JiggyJones0]

@@thisjustincomics Jack and Jill is the second worst movie I've ever seen. The first is Escape Room.
