Even Little Nicky which gets alot of grief I don't hate. I found a podcast called Adam Sandler Please Stop by so called Sandler fans who attack his movies because they aren't oscar masterpieces.
In little Nicky they say Sandler at the end brings up Farley which he does in a great way that tributes him not makes fun of him.
They also did reviews of his audio comedy albums and they hated The Goat which is blasphemy because that track in Iconic.
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've always been a fan though there have been several that I didn't like. I'd say a couple under-rated that I like that are post "Happy Gilmore" and "Wedding Singer" are "Mr. Deeds" and "Anger Management". Of somewhat recent history "Pixels" and "Bedtime Stories" were entertaining.
Loved both of them. Uncut Gems was 2 hours of anxiety and it was fantastic.
If a therapy session with a giant tarantula in outer space sounds appealing, Spaceman is the movie for you.
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!

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.
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.
Ah....nostalgia for my youth....
I will totally watch this when it comes out regardless of how bad it might be with 50-some year old Adam Sandler rehashing his stuff.
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.
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.
Love the Sand Man! With this long a career there's bound to be good and bad. Agree with most about nostalgia of forming my youth with his comedy on SNL and films. If you've never asked a golf ball if it's "too good for it's home" or had a shampoo vs conditioner conversation in the shower, then you're doing it wrong.
I also appreciate he's still loyal to his friends for the comedies and I'm sure Spade, Schneider, Meadows, etc. are grateful too. He seems like a genuine guy who's not lost on being a "Hollywood Star" and still maybe a little of an outsider there.

Are you asking general non-Sandler comedies I've seen in the last several years?
