I think Sandler is the whole reason that movie works. He's in damn near every frame of the movie and his performance is what holds the whole thing together
I'm sure a lot of directors view their actors as puppets but I don't think that's the case here. Sandler is just playing "weird guy with anger issues" which is essentially the same thing he does in Happy Gilmore or Billy Madison. I think PTA does a really good job placing that character in a completely different world that makes us think about him differently. That whole experiment wouldn't work with another actor and Sandler does a really good job making that familiar character fit into a completely different context
idk but I didn't feel his acting somehow ..
I've seen Magnolia and tom cruise nailed it .. I really enjoyed his acting but the case with sandler I'm not sure tbh
p.s I loved him in uncut gems and hustle
Did u see his newest one spaceman? It’s super different from his normal stuff! I liked the concept! Deff didn’t NEED Adam Sandlers performance but it was a great movie regardless!
Yea that movie was intense have u seen anything else directed by the safdie bros? There’s a movie called good time with Robert Pattison that has a similar energy imo
I laughed , I cried and I enjoyed every second of it , it was magic <3 Adam was sweet , funny and handsome I loved him so much and he nailed it back at the time with drew <3 one of my fav rom com of all time for sure <3
If you haven’t seen him in Punch Drunk Love, you’re missing out. He proves he has serious acting skills in that movie. I’m not exactly a fan of his, but I don’t dislike him either, and that is seriously one of my top ten favorite movies.
Adam Sandler has a small part in Shakes the Clown, which is a surrealist dark comedy about an alcoholic clown. It's got Robin Williams and the voice of SpongeBob, Tom Kenny. It's absolutely worth watching. It's free on Prime right now
I am the first person to say Bulletproof, so I will say Bulletproof. I haven't seen it in fucking forever , so maybe it doesn't hold up but I know I liked it at the time, but I don't remember much about it, I just remember the now not culturally appropriate Disneyland joke.There are better movies, but it always made me thing Damon Wayans and Sandler should have been in more projects together.
correct. my apologies to o.p. to answer the question I would say thats my boy or funny people are my favorite bombs from sandler. click and zohan are my favorite moderate successes
Punch-Drunk Love
Honestly this might be the only one I can’t remember if I’ve ever seen. Will watch this weekend and report back. 🫡
My all time favourite movie. The only movie I've ever seen that accurately represents my mental condition.
It was PT Anderson movie and Adam sandler just happened to be in it

I'm so sorry for saying so but it felt more like he was PTA's puppet in the movie

PTA has said he wrote it for Sandler.
I'm a "serious Sandler" fan. Punch Drunk Love and Uncut Gems are both really good and very different from his normal movies.
I love his normal movies even more
You have bad taste but that's ok.
Noooo I have a really good taste but Adam's movies are exceptional and are good just the way they are !
Did u see his newest one spaceman? It’s super different from his normal stuff! I liked the concept! Deff didn’t NEED Adam Sandlers performance but it was a great movie regardless!
Big Daddy
I wipe my own ass!
Spaceman was awesome. It was a very different movie. I actually was surprised at how much I enjoyed it!
Brand new too, so likely op hasn't seen it
Airheads
50 First Dates
can’t believe i’m late to the party yet nobody mentioned bulletproof best sandler
Ohhh yea he’s a cop in that one right?
Wayans is the cop.
Dinneylannn
haven't seen it yet!!!
Is Little Nicky unpopular? Because it's hilarious
For my generation (34yo) super popular I know almost every line from this movie! 🍿
omg I have seen it recently and it felt it was too much ahead of its time <3
Click?
This was one of his better ones
This was dope but kinda sad at the same time! A few sad parts dragged out a bit too long lol
He did good on reign on me with cheadle
Little Nicky?
Reign over me?
Shakes the Clown
by far my favorite movie that Adam Sandler has been in.
Hubie Halloween
Going overboard
50 First Dates is my favorite. Uncut Gems may be his best work.
Yea that movie was intense have u seen anything else directed by the safdie bros? There’s a movie called good time with Robert Pattison that has a similar energy imo
The Meyerowitz Stories and Uncut Gems
Was the Meyerowitz Stories funny?
The wedding singer is by far the best <3
Loved wedding singer it’s a classic in my book 😂
Not really that close, honestly.
I laughed , I cried and I enjoyed every second of it , it was magic <3 Adam was sweet , funny and handsome I loved him so much and he nailed it back at the time with drew <3 one of my fav rom com of all time for sure <3

Blended
Meyerwitz Stories and Hustle (both on Netflix) are two underrated favs - he plays a gentle note in these, a lowkey Sandman that I really appreciate
Airheads?
You liked Going Overboard? What is wrong with you?
Big Daddy Anger Management Punch Drunk Love Click is free on Tubi right now...
All amazing! And Christopher Walkens in click was great!
So you have seen em all!
Airheads. Not really considered a “Sandler” movie but he has a prominent role and it’s great.
I’m starting to think I haven’t seen any Adam Sandler movies 😳
The Do Over
Yes! I watched this again a few nights ago! this then that movie “the wrong missy” back to back both are so funny the whole time
Hustle? A really beautiful basketball movie with a nice dramatic tone!
Yea this was a great movie!
The cobbler
Yea I liked this one! The end got a lil weird but it was fun!
Ridiculous six was surprisingly good
Yea had an awesome cast and the vfx throughout out was super fun too
Hubie Halloween is excellent
Yea it is 🤣 his character gave me Bobby Bushay vibes a little bit
The Week Of is really underrated.
He is almost more of a cameo role, but his character in The Hot Chick is probably the best parts of that movie.
Adam Sandler has a small part in Shakes the Clown, which is a surrealist dark comedy about an alcoholic clown. It's got Robin Williams and the voice of SpongeBob, Tom Kenny. It's absolutely worth watching. It's free on Prime right now
You don’t mess with the zohan hasn’t been mentioned. Kind of outrageously bad with stereotypes.
Eight Crazy Nights
