Let’s get something straight right now. I was a huge Adam Sandler fan back in the day. I liked him as Theo’s one white friend on The Cosby Show. I loved him on Saturday Night Live. I think he completely killed it as Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore. Even as he got older films like Big Daddy and The Wedding Singer were pretty funny. But then his movies started to get a little stale. A little stupid, and yet they were still box office monsters. Then came Little Nicky. This is the one that did me in. It’s the movie that made me say “I just can’t watch this guy anymore.”
I still like Adam Sandler. I still think he’s a funny guy but he’s not THAT funny anymore. He’s certainly not “I just made a deal for 4 more movies with Netflix” funny. So maybe when he made Little Nicky he really was making some kind of deal with the actual devil? Because that he’s still getting movies and making millions makes very little sense. What other comedian do you know that’s still raking in the dough, getting role after role, and still performing with attractive women that are out of his league?
I feel like Adam Sandler is the Ron Jeremy of the legitimate acting world. Am I missing something? Has anyone seen a good Adam Sandler movie in the last five years? Once again, Adam Sander from around 1984-2000 was pretty solid. Oh and by the way all movies where Sandler played a serious part are exempt from this discussion. I actually think he’s a pretty decent serious actor.
Dear Netflix,
I understand that you are taking over the movie and TV world and are just ramming everything down our throats but why Adam Sandler? What does he have on you that you’re not telling us? I don’t get it.
Best,
That weird blond haired caddie from Happy Gilmore
