His friends at Happy Madison Productions as well. It doesn't help his credibility as an actor, but it's great business move to keep swinging at everything coming across the plate.
My wife & I watch this every year around Halloween & find it pretty funny. Unbelievably stupid movie but does have a bit of that old charm of Sandler playing a ridiculous character.
Hard to blame the guy for cashing in. Obviously he doesn't take himself or his films super seriously, so I'm not sure why the audience for these movies should.
I really liked this interview with Kathy Bates about how she almost turned down The Waterboy but her niece talked her into it. All this time later I don’t know who they could have gotten to play Mama like she did.
Sandler? No, but his buddies like Schneider could be. He has them in every movie.
I'm partial to the scenes like when the clown falls over and everyone is laughing while he's bleeding out.
Honestly, haven't watched many movies the last several years, but maybe some netflix stuff here and there. I had to look up comedies to even see what comedies I may have seen over the last 5 years. I do not recognize a lot of them that are considered comedies.
Some netflix that I've seen that were decent: The man from Toronto. Red notice. You people. No hard feelings (Lawrence does a good job in this).
That was a action/adventure/drama. Comedies are a much different animal especially considering what has happened to the comedy genre in the last 5 years or so.
Happy Gilmore 2--if Paige Spiranac and/or Grace Charis are part of the cast, yeah, I'll be watching. Paige wouldn't surprise me actually, sounds like a wise marketing choice.

Little Nicky was the last good comedy, in my opinion. I like a couple of his more recent movies, although they are not funny.
If I'm ever playing golf, darts, etc... with my friends, we've failed if there isn't at least one "Somebody's closer" quote thrown out there. In the correct voice obvs.
Must watch Hubie Halloween. Favorite Halloween movie all time that he put out 2-3ish years ago.
i watched ricky stanicky on amazon prime and actually found it to be a good comedy.
Where he kind of lost me for a bit was probably around 2010 or whenever he put out Jack and Jill. Also really didn't like the Grown Up series, but probably those more so due to the time of life I was in, not grown up quite yet, so feel like they didn't connect with me and failed to live up to what I expected from a Sandler movie at the time.
True, but there's also a case where what we found funny 10-15 years ago, most directors won't touch in todays world because everyone is so offended about every little thing. It would be a diaster.
I thought **** Blocked (excuse me if that word is not allowed on a movie title lol) was decent and I laughed pretty well in JLaw's latest comedy, but it just seems like we could use another good run of comedies in this decade.
I love comedies...and haven't laughed as much in a theater since the time I went to see Superbad! I get comedy isn't for everyone...but I honestly had tears running down my cheeks from laughing so hard! Great to feel that way for 90 minutes or so!
