Huh. Adam Sandler made something watchable?

[Fritzo]

Sandler's new movie on Netflix is "The Do-Over", and for the first time he doesn't play a misunderstood man-child that totally redeems himself at the end of the movie. It's actually a pretty decent 80s-esque action comedy. Color me amazed!

 

[Elixer]

Impossible.
I think this is a trap.

In actuality, I bet your SO roped you into watching it with them, and it was so bad, that you wanted other people to suffer the same fate as you, so you come here, and tell everyone that it is pretty decent!

Not falling for it!

 

[TwiceOver]

Not going to bother. Even at a fraction of a cent per stream, I'm not giving him any money.

 

[Fritzo]

I swear! It has David Spade in it, they show bewbs, there's some cool action, a few funny lines, a hilarious 3-way scene, and a bunch of plot twists. It's not an Oscar winner, but it's a solid movie!

punch drunk love was the best thing he has ever been apart of.

Ha! Now we KNOW you're lying.

I also like that movie. Probably due to P.T. Anderson who also did Magnolia.

 

[DigDog]

The Cobbler wasn't that bad.

I'm sure he's done some decent things every now and then; it's just that when he does bad film, they really, really stink.

 

[Eli]

Ha! Now we KNOW you're lying.

So true

 

[JSt0rm]

They are horrible. I worked on one of them so I know.

I thought Reign over me was pretty good.

Happy Gilmore will always be my favourite Sandler movie.

You could have stopped right there. Going on my watch list.

The little animated preview thing Netflix has up makes it look fucking awful. I actually watched The Cobbler and it actually started surprisingly good but was terrible when it finally turned into a typical Sandler movie. Didn't bother to watch that other one and doubt I'll watch any more of his stuff.

Its not just Sandler either, Netflix produced stuff has largely been misses for me. Even the stuff that's well made just aren't interesting whenever I've watched them. There's a few (Jessica Jones comes to mind) that I am going to give a try, but I think season 1 of House of Cards is the only Netflix production I've really liked.

Happy Gilmore will always be my favourite Sandler movie.

This. I can even enjoy Billy Madison. And The Wedding Singer is fun as well although obviously incredibly cliched, but the 80s setting made up for it.

Reign Over Me was good, but the end came off rushed and blah. It made sense but it just wasn't well done, especially after they spent so much time doing a good job of slower character building early on. It was just like, oh right we need to finish this, uh....this happens, the end.

Punch Drunk Love was pretty good as well.

Bulletproof is another fun movie although it feels pretty dated and isn't a masterpiece.

The rest of his stuff is meh at best and plenty of times terrible.

I don't know The Waterboy gives it a run for its money.

 

[Artdeco]

The Do Over was watchable, but I think Sandler is god awful in most of his stuff.

 

[Fritzo]

Just to warn you, the last set of bewbs shown are something you may never forget....

If you like Bulletproof you'll like this.

The supporting cast cements HG at #1 for me. Shooter, the fight with Bob Barker, hot lingerie girl, Carl Weathers, Ben Stiller as the evil orderly.

 

[Strk]

I was thinking of posting something about this movie. It was actually decent. I was definitely surprised.

Punch drunk love was his best movie.

Although my favorite Sandler movie will always be Billy Madison.

 

[ImpulsE69]

We just watched this. Not bad at all. Had some pretty funny moments (although I don't recall seeing any bewbs)
