Several years ago, he signed a 9 figure deal for a few movies with Netflix.
Imo his last funny stuff was in the late 90s so I'm not sure how Netflix plays into it.

I think That's My Boy and Don't mess with the Zohan were fricking hillarious....
Not sure if true but it should be:
As great as that would be, I wouldn't expect a parody account to break the news.
I would also guess that they could find a much cheaper hot chick to play the role of "cart girl"
I really liked Uncut Gems, it took me a while through the movie to take him seriously I was constantly waiting for a punch line. But I thought it was really solid.Ironically, Sandler's best acting has actually been in non-comedies recently. Uncut Gems was a good acting job. I haven't watched Spaceman. In terms of no-brainer, just watch and enjoy without standards, I actually found Hubie Halloween to be decent.
Frankly, Joe Flaherty won't make it to filming either.Knowing that there will be no Carl Weathers, no Bob Barker, no Frances Bay and no Richard Kiel makes me sad.
Loved both of them. Uncut Gems was 2 hours of anxiety and it was fantastic.Not comedies but "Hustle" and "Uncut Gems" weren't too bad.
This is where I'm at. Loved most of those movies you listed, but it started to go downhill with Little Nicky and Big Daddy for me. Last movie I paid to see of his was Grown Ups. Thought for sure it had to be hilarious with that cast. It's the closest I've ever been to leaving a movie I paid for early. I was at the Newton drive in with some friends and drinks on a nice summer evening so just made the best of it. If I had been in a theater I probably would have left. I loved Happy Gilmore, but unless people seem to genuinely enjoy this sequel I can't see myself bothering with this one.He stopped trying after those early gems with Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison, Water Boy, Big Daddy, Wedding Singer, but I get it, he was already made.
I just feel his last several movies were so bad that I can't even remember the last good funny movie that hes done.
Nudey magazine day! Same. His humor was formative to me and shaped my humor. Some of the jokes look pretty dumb and sophomoric to the "sophisticated" and "refined" adult I have become (or pretend to be), but man I still laugh at them and the movie quotes are like a secret language between pals of my youth.I was a teen/early 20s when Sandler was at his peak in movies and loved his time at SNL when I wasn’t old enough to drive around on Saturday nights yet. i also had They’re All Going To Laugh At You on play non stop but yet hidden from my parents. I will forever have a spot for his movies regardless just due to how much his stuff shaped my humor and taste in comedy. Who knows if this will be goo but I’m 100% in!!
Id hate to think of the amount of times my friends and I quoted a Sandler one liner every day.
Stop looking at me swan!
Worked out for Maverick.Just coming to say this. Coming out with a sequel so far down the line didn't far well for coming to America and dumb and Dumber but I will watch it.
Yeah agree. I get it, he grew out of that playful immature humor and obviously became a dad and had to grow up sometime. His voice isn't even the same, but like another said, it shaped who I was in my teens and 20's lol. Now, any movie he makes I go into it with low expectations. I couldn't even sit to watch uncut gems.This is where I'm at. Loved most of those movies you listed, but it started to go downhill with Little Nicky and Big Daddy for me.

Do over was ok. Blended was ok. That's my boy was ok. I liked the remake in Longest yard. But you have to go back further for great movies, not just ok movies.
Are you asking general non-Sandler comedies I've seen in the last several years?What are some your favorite recent comedies?
