Speaking of Jim Carrey, what happened to the dude? Makes nothing but crappy movies lately. Same with the dude from The Office.
I give Carrey a lifetime pass for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, but yeah, I can't remember the last time that he was in something funny.

Well fuck me in the goat ass. Came to post this.

Not really a huge Snadler fan but Mr Deeds is hilarious.
Probably my favorite from him, but not really because of him.

I liked Funny People.
I loved "what the hell happened to me" in high school. Remember the opening to "Funny People" with that old tape of Sandler doing his thing? When that came on screen I thought I was in for something special. Some kind of return to form or throwback to those days. While it was nothing at all like that, and I didn't hate it, I was disappointed.
I know how you feel, OP.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
That's not how I remember it. I'm 99% sure the music is supposed to be Beautiful Girls by Van Halen.

When I saw old school Adam Sandler I thought of this:

His songs were rubbish, but those early movies, man. I wish he could do an old man version of those now.
What is a horse shoe? What does a horse shoe do? Are there any horse socks? Is anybody listening to me?
It truly does. My mates and I quote Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore on an almost daily basis and rewatch the films every once in a while; they're hilarious every time.

I don't even like his old stuff anymore. Most of his work is just painfully awful.
His family movies mostly suck.
His comedies are hit or miss.
His more serious roles are usually good.
Sandler has been doing more family movies and character comedies the past 6-7 or so years which are his weakest movies. So it makes sense that it seems like he's pushing out turds. It would be nice if he balanced things out a bit more.

You all may find this odd, but this CD was my introduction to Adam Sandler. Junior year of high school, it was like oxygen.
I never really loved his movies, but found the ones I watched to be entertaining. I can't fault him for selling out, though. You wanna give me and my friends millions of dollars every year or so to make a movie filled with low-brow humor? You bet your life I'll take you up on that.
This thread is full of retardery.
Sandler has been doing the same comedies he's always done. He still writes them with Robert Smigel and other same old SNL guys he always has. You dont Mess with the Zohan is Sandler's best movie. You probably only like Billy madison/Happy Gilmore cos of Nostalgia and liked it on one level as a kid, now you dont get the other level these comedies work on as an adult

Adam Sandler plays one of two characters in every movie, a douchebag or an asshole.
That being said I still enjoy his movies, Not all are good.

I watched Little Nicky the other day. Still the worst movie I've ever seen in my life. How did no one tell him how insufferably unfunny that lisp / character was?

I don't miss Adam Sandler in any form.
One of his bests, though not quite for the comedy:
Thanks for reminding me about this movie, a good dose of Christopher Walken really cheered me up while I have this horrible cold.

This was the worst piece of shit bait and switch I've ever seen. The movie wasn't funny, then it decided to become a terrible fucking drama to add to my misery. Never watching his shitty movies again

I forgot Bulletproof. Maybe it's just nostalgia.
WRONG!
He was amazing in Punch Drunk Love, PTA is a fucking genius when it comes to get everything out of an actor.

I fucking love waterboy and happy gilmore, everything after that has been meh. Click was tolerable, but only because I enjoyed it conceptually, the actual execution of it felt flat to me.

I guess the one film with Nichsolson is okay enough, not least because it has originated some of the two best .gifs.
Anything else is mostly bad, even though his movies definitely got more disgusting and shitty as time went by.
Gotta love dem redlettermedia reviews of Jack and Jill and the latest movie.

I did too. Pretty much everything involving Sandler's character was done really well. I actually thought that movie would be like a turnaround for him, since it's almost like an acknowledgement of making a bunch of bad movies and having a sloppy career.
Of course, since then we've gotten the likes of Jack and Jill, which is almost exactly the kind of movie that Funny People was parodying with the George Simmons.
I will say that Funny People could have been way better if 30-40 minutes was shaved off of it, though. What was Apatow thinking by dragging a comedy beyond the 2-hour point?
