Chuck and Larry was hilarious, and yes, Adam Sandler was part of the hilarity. I think he is still a good actor, i like stupid movies, but i still love other great movies (There Will Be Blood, Iron Man, etc..)

I loved Click, it was a very entertaining movie, and it made a good message as well. Hes doing his thing and im glad he is still doing movies

I still watch all of his movies but they are good for a laugh or two, That being said there are only five moves of his that I would watch more than once (Billy Madison (multiple times), Happy Gilmore (multiple times), The Waterboy, Mr. Deeds, and Little Nicky)

Not to take this off Sandler but it is related to him. Has anyone seen the newest Happy Madison movie, Strange Wilderness? The production group of his friends that did Grandma's Boy (Best underated comedy of all time)

Anyway strange wilderness was NOTHING compared to grandmas boy it was frickin horrible. I laughed at some times but the whole movie seemed like they all just showed up one day on set and made the whole thing up with no script. I have to say I will never watch it again and about the best parts were the animal kingdom voice overs beware of that one.

Are you serious?

I remember ONE funny moment when he yelled at his grandma to bring him some food.

Holy crap it musta REALLY sucked then.

My vote on this topic is Waterboy and prior to that SNL. I do love me some Sandler and Bates in that "Fooseball" movie!

I agree 100%.

I still think he's funny but there was that one stupid movie that started with a S that wasn't funny at all but like some slow going sad @$$ movie.

RWebb74 · 06-04-2008, 08:08 PM

Wa-wa-wa WATERBOY!!!!

I hope Zohan turns out to be as funny as it seems. My wife actually wants to see it, which is strange, because she normally doesn't care for comedies, let alone Sandler.

Adam Sandler to me has never been funny. Promised to be, but never was. Will soon be forgotten.

Variable · 06-04-2008, 08:34 PM

Grandma's Boy was great.

mossduncan · 06-04-2008, 08:38 PM

he was very good and serious in Reign Over Me and he was good in Bulletproof. I really enjoy his movie's, i guess you have to like that kind of comedy and some people don't.

He is exploring his space. Good for him... I think every movie he has made after Big Daddy has been crap. Eh, I also liked that movie where he gets rich.

Anyway, he will get over it and get back to funny stuff. If not, He will fall off.

silversnake · 06-05-2008, 12:04 AM

happy gilmore / big daddy.

/loved him in Reign over me however

theprophecy247 · 06-05-2008, 12:27 AM

i loved big daddy

Ranger-R · 06-05-2008, 12:36 AM

Love Sandler but Chuck and Larry, he cannot pull of a macho ladies man. Too much of a goofball. As for his last funny hmmm, Anger Management? Its to hard to pick I like all his movies.

I thought Chuck and Larry was terrible. Don't really have a problem with gay jokes, or jokes about anybody, including myself, really, but it got to the point where, when they're at the grocery store and they're like, "This is gay, that's gay," I was just like, who thought this would be funny? In a world where being gay is much more acceptable, even common, it seems like this missed its window by about ten years. It felt like I was sitting in a middle school locker room with all the lame gay remarks. If I were gay, I can't even imagine how extra-awful this would be.

Terrible pile of crap, indeed.

Blu Blazer · 06-05-2008, 02:02 AM

To me he hasn't been funny since Toll Booth Willie but movie wise i would say Happy Gilmore. He makes utter crap nowdays but his movies always make a ton of money because everyone under the age of 18 loves him.

owa · 06-05-2008, 02:17 AM

I'm not a big fan of his comedy but thought he was pretty funny in The Waterboy and Big Daddy. He was okay in Spanglish and The Wedding Singer. I really liked him in Reign Over Me though. Excellent movie.
