Even some of his Happy Madison movies are stellar, especially Happy Gilmore and The Wedding Singer.

I think he gets a bad rap for all the dog shit he does. But he's fully capable of turning in a great performance in really good movies. He's like Nic Cage in that way.

Side Note: I wonder if Jonah Hill dropped out because of the sudden death of his brother. (Who was the manager of Maroon 5.

But Nic Cage started off as an acclaimed actor who got into so much debt, by his own fault, that he started off doing crap. Sandler can be a great actor, just as long as he has no control over the project. I mean, Scorsese wanted him for his cancelled Sinatra project.
