I pretty much agree with this post. I've watched a lot of his movies, but I can't really say I've enjoyed a lot of his movies. Part of the problem is that he basically plays the same exact character in every movie, just in a different situation.

At this point he's pretty much lost any comedic qualities he ever had. Watching the trailer for Click embarasses me.

Umm.. Waterboy, Happy Gilmore, Little Nicky and Eight Crazy Nights are all cool I guess.

Yes. He used to be funny, but not anymore.

I don't get why anyone would ever assume Adam Sandler would be involved in a "quality" movie. He's not that type of funny. He's cheap laugh funny. A guy gets hit in the nuts and you giggle. He's great for that stuff. That's what I watch him for.

Yeah, though I think I blame it more on my own getting older and more elitist about films. I don't think it was until he did Mr. Deeds that I really started to realize that I didn't find the man funny anymore, though it didn't help that Mr. Deeds was an awful, awful film on its own.

My favorite of his is Billy Madison or Airheads.

I feel the same as Dan and RSL do about him - one of my biggest BEEFS with this guy is that he doesn't really act in any of his movies. Although I haven't seen Punch Drunk Love. And I'm just getting less and less interested in comedies anyways. Too many slapsticks out there. And that's all he ever does so blegh.

I used to love him, though, with Waterboy and Big Daddy being my favourite. Happy Gilmore was a huge disappointment for me, and started me on the Sandler-hating road I am on now! 8-)

he was good in Mixed Nuts. Also, Mr Deeds was funny, but mostly because of the fabulous John Turturro.

The problem is that that kind of "comedy" is not at all entertaining.
