1. Billy Madison - great stupid fun
2. The Wedding Singer - probably his only legitimately high quality movie while still delivering a lot of the same stupid fun
3. Happy Gilmore - stupid fun
4. Waterboy - stupid fun
5. Anger Management - a few funny key parts and Jack steals the movie obviously
6. Zohan - reeeeeeally bad acting in parts but some hilarious physical comedy like the scene where he swims like a dolphin

I pretty much hated the attempts at serious movies. I also hated quite a few of the other comedies. Guy makes a ton of money, there's a big audience for it.

1. Bill Madison
2. Happy Gilmore
3. Wedding Singer
4. Big Daddy
5. Waterboy
6. Everything else is terrible, including his serious attempts at acting such as Reign Over Me.

If we were playing mad libs and I got the sentence "Adam Sandler is ____" I would put in the word terrible-washedup. I'd hyphenate it so as not to break the rules.

Well, considering that washed up is actually two words, you've broken the rules. Not that I disagree with your sentiment.

Well who am I to tell him which actors to like? I see that he now agrees with me, but I was just making it so I wasn't shoving it down his throat.

I like many terrible actors especially action stars but I think we can agree that one of those movies has a tremendous amount star power even if you don't like any of them.

Haven't read every post, as some of them seemed to start talking about Ocean's 11.

Sandler's movies are very similar, minus a handful. Looking back, everyone who named his earlier movies have aged 10 to 15 years since then, which, I think, is why they don't like his recent movies (still portraying to the same age group, again, outside a handful of films). Though, I happen to like some of his new movies, different style, but still like them.

You'll see the same comments from fans when bands make changes from album to album, nature of the beast.

I'm 21 and arguably his target demographic and he sucks way worse than he did 15 years ago.

good movie...the kid is the guy from Suite Life of Zach and Cody...had no idea that was him until I looked the credits up at the end.:eek:

Mind blown. It's weird cause I knew he looked familiar to me, but never made the connection. I wonder which twin he is.

Both of them...they took turns being the kid. Worked though, as it should since they are identical twins.

My roommate and I wondered about that right after I posted. We figured if one was tired or better at a certain aspect of acting that they'd switch.

In the entertainment industry there are a lot of regulations for child actors like hours they can work/be on set which is why real babies are hardly ever used or have so few shots in movies.
