There's No Friend Like Adam Sandler

Adam Sandler is known for his successful box office slapstick comedies, but he's also responsible for launching the careers of a number of his close friends. Let's dive into how he got here, and how effective he's been at supporting those closest to him.

Adam Sandler is truly one of a kind, he never took the entertainment industry too seriously, fans always have a great experience with him, he has shown himself to be an incredible actor and while the critics don't really agree with him, at his core Adam is just a humble down to earth person that just loves making movies while having fun with his friends and I respect him a lot for that

[@BuddhaMelffyQueen]

I legitimately do not care what anyone says Click is Sandlers best performance pre-uncut gems. I freaking love Adam though I'd love to met that man.

[@playgroundchooser]

When I was younger, Sandler movies were guilty pleasures. Now, I realize there doesn't have to be guilt; I can just like what I like. Sandman was a big part of that for me. It also helps that he's legitimately nice, open, and generous man when there aren't cameras around.

[@WickWickWACK]

Precisely. Well said. 🫶

[@PabloHenrique92]

As many people have said, you might have outgrown his movies, but you can't deny Adam Sandler truly is a great person, Norm Macdonald loved him and he loved Norm, and thats a big plus in my book, grounded and humble, one of the few celebrities who truly are kind and humble

[@s2Capacidade2s]

Conan says Adam often comes to this home and just shouts: "Conan!!" from outside, like your neighbor or uncle. He does seem like the nicest man in Hollywood.

[@willlienellson7451]

You don't have to like all Adam Sandler movies, or even most Adam Sandler movies, but if someone dislikes ALL Adam Sandler movies and dislikes Adam Sandler as a person I am guaranteed to not get along with them in any context. It's an interesting litmus test.

[@Rezzell]

Precisely, Adam Sandler might not have the best movies, but he's probably one of the best people out there.

[@gbeach85]

Love or hate his movies, he’s a stand up guy and a solid human being.

[@Hyokano]

By all accounts he is the nicest talent to work with. My friend was a production manager for one of his recorded shows and said he was so respectful, asking if he could bring a friend to watch the show. That friend was Justin Bieber. I mean, the fact that you bother to even ask when no one would say no to him or having Bieber in the room.

When Steve Buccemi said that, everyone in the audience knew exactly what he meant. Statement backed up by facts.

Sandler is a GOAT. RIP Carl Weathers 😢

[@Magdalena8008s]

Sandler rules. Yeah, not everything he does works. But most of the time it does. And has anyone ever said a bad thing about him? Does he not seem like a reasonable person on earth? Yes. Yeah, hes dope.

Great documentation about Adam Sandler!

[@america8706]

in the 90's if you were in grade school and said something bad about Adam Sandler's movies you were gonna be shunned. At least I think so, I never met another kid that didn't like his movies only those who hadn't seen them. And if that happened you and all your friends would pretty much demand that you watch them lol. Big Daddy in particular is one of my favorite movies of his that holds a special place in my heart. I should watch it again. Also he has music out there and it is often times just as goofy as he is. I broke a CD of his as a kid because I listened to it so much haha

Adam, talking about his close freinds, once said "gah bah leee buhhhhh laaaa"

[@Arthur-zb6sy]

i know social media usually fucking sucks,but goddam it would have helped him ALOT we cant forget how hard was to gather public opnion on thing it was legit tickets and professional opnions his movies were ABSURD popular from piracy and whatnot

this one is also great renzy

Nicest guy in the world but when you have that much money and you remove the hunger it's harder to be funny. His dramatic work has gotten better though

[@xxevilellisonxx]

I’d love a video on Farley

[@nemtudom5074]

As someone who watched several of his earlier family movies as a kid, and then stopped when the late 2000's movies started coming out, i recently watched Uncut Gems, and now as an adult i feel bad for having a bad opinion of Adam. Those late 2000's movies may not have been good, but he's a great man, and i really appreciate his sincere and honest attitude. A true role model

[@playgroundchooser]

If you want another serious Sandler performance, check out Punch Drunk Love. He's freekin brilliant in that movie. (BTW, it's a very funny movie as well if you're into that kind of humor.)

[@nemtudom5074]

[@gooberkid2474]

This guy can make you laugh like no other and not only that he's such a nice guy and a real good friend like you could put this guy in a room with you were your gonna be executed and like as that's happening Adam Sandler would be making you laugh and he be like using his Adam Sandler voice and like he be like sounding all silly and shit and cracking you up as your diying and being excited

how come nobody is talking about how patrick cc basically ripped this entire video idea and stole like 2 million views? i saw the patrick cc one get recommended to me and i remembered this one and thought "that sounds familiar"

[@playgroundchooser]

I did the same thing, but I'll give Patrick some Parallel Thinking cred. I know that several people dropped "Adam Sandler is a great guy" vids kinda at the same time.

[@xander396]

@@playgroundchooser but these two videos have the exact same identical premise and basically content as well, this one just came slightly first. i dont think its parallel thinking, this is a very specific topic. this is more specific than "adam sandler is a great guy", this is about him helping make his friends careers.

[@renaissancefemme]

I actually thought about this a while ago, but had a completely different take because: How is this not nepotism/ boys' club-type behaviour? It's one thing to consistently work or write with certain people that creatively vibe with you, especially when you're coming up and making smaller films. But once you have bonafide star power, it feels self-serving. I think Adam has demonstrated actual nepotism by hiring his kids/ family in projects. I know that this behaviour is not all bad, especially if it yields more creative projects, but I think its worth considering.

[@blank-vj1mc]

Especially in situations like this, criticisms of nepotism come from envy. This isn’t a politician or a real estate executive. Sandler made his own movie production company specifically to avoid all of the truly evil practices at other studios.

[@WickWickWACK]

When you start where he did and get to where he is today...then you might have something to consider. Not to mention, most of his costars are the only suitors of character. Also, I have no doubts Anniston,Spade,Beuchini, etc are talented enough without hitching a ride. What you ponder should be asked on a political affiliate page or Kardashian clip lol

Adam Sandler seems like he doesn't grow up all that much but without him chances are we wouldn't have gotten David Spade and Chris Farley classics Norm Macdonald in Rob Schneider and Adam Sandler movies and many other funny people who were on SNL showing up in Adam Sandler movies

[@WickWickWACK]

I have to disagree fully. He's 'grown' entirely up all the whilst crafting and perfecting a humor that will still entertain himself, for himself...in front of the witness of worlds eyes as he's aged. Watch Happy Gilmore then watch Histle. Or even OutLaws- then come back to edit yourself lol
