you're questioning him ? He started with his humor doing stand-up, didn't he ?

I question half the rappers out there who do nothing but flash bling in front of a camera along with no less than half a dozen bikini-clad women and "say" the song ... most of them don't even write it themselves. They're no-talent sons 'o bitches who got lucky.

I like some of his movies, some of them are just "meh."

I didn't like Little Nicky that much, however, Wedding Singer, Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore were great movies IMO.

Haven't seen Punch Drunk Love or 50 First Dates, but they're not the kinds of movies I would watch.

Big Daddy was funnier than Waterboy, but I saw both of those at younger ages where I probably did not understand all the jokes.

 

[MrCodeDude]

Oh, 8 Crazy Nights rocked and Mr. Deeds was another "meh" movie.

 

[So]

I have never laughed at sandler...then again, I'm out of the fourth grade.

He should have won an Oscar for Big Daddy. Anyone with a kid that age had to enjoy it.

Happy Gilmore was fun as well. The rest of his stuff I can take or leave.


It's Ben Stiller that I don't get. Other than Something about Mary, nothing he's done impresses me.

What about Meet the Parents?

Sandler has made alot of funny movies, all the above mentioned. I like Happy Gilmore, 50 First Dates, Wedding Singer, Big Daddy.

It's a jewish thing I'm guessing, Hollywood is a town run mostly by jews and I'm not saying that to be racist it is true even a lot jews will say it.

Most of his movies are really really really bad.

 

[TitanDiddly]

He's hilarous.

Yeah sure. That's why his movies do well at the box office. :roll:
Hollywood is a business. If you aren't making the studio money, you're out, Jewish or not. I'm Jewish and I think he sucks.

I hate Adam Sandler. Cant STAND him.

I have to deal with enough idiots and assholes in real life, last thing I need to do is see it on TV

He has no acting talent whatsoever, the big stupid oaf act has worn thin years ago. He's not funny either.

Rob Sneider in his movies, LOL that's all I have to say about that.

 

[Leetman]

Punch Drunk Love was a very good movie IMO. One of his best easily, if not the best.(obviously in a different sense)

Ahem - Paycheck stars Ben Affleck, not Ben Stiller. IMO the Stiller film Flirting With Disaster is brilliant, as is Meet the Parents. Zoolander was horrible, and I haven't yet seen Starsky and Hutch or Dodgeball.

 

[Fingolfin269]

Starsky & Hutch was awesome. And you're right, Flirting with Disaster was a great movie... albeit a very underwatched and underappreciated one.

 

the only adam sandler movie i don't like is 8 crazy nights - i sat through the first 20 minutes and couldn't stand it - had to turn it off

all of his other stuff that i've seen is hillarious
for the people who don't find humor in Anger Management, Mr Deeds, Wedding Singer ---- WTF DO you laugh at? Benny Hill?

Yes your right, my bad wasnt thinking, I did know that LOL.

I watched 50 First Dates... bleh. It could have been a good movie if it didn't have the unneccesary gross-out humor. Why point out how big the size of a Walrus' penis is? Seriously, how is THAT funny?

Did you just say that Benny Hill isn't funny?

Little Nicky is one of my all-time favorite movies. I find most of his movies enjoyable to watch.
