Another Fan Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Used to be a big fan of his when I was in high school and even owned some of his comedy albums. Then I got older and just found him stupid. But the other night I watched Mr Deeds for the first time in ages and enjoyed it. I liked his sort of regular Joe shtick. I mean some people must have liked his films over the years as I think most of them were profitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Murica Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Eh, not a huge fan of his. Earlier films were his best. I even thought "That's my boy" had its moments. Lately, I find him very bland and annoying more than humorous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Don't have high expectations, and you will generally be amused. Nothing great, but good comedy at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Hard part is watching him in a serious role (Spanglish, Punch Drunk Love) but he definitely has a more talent than just comedies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Used to be a big fan of his when I was in high school and even owned some of his comedy albums. Then I got older and just found him stupid. I think you pretty much summed up the topic right here. That said, I still love The Wedding Singer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) Mr. Deeds is an extremely underrated and awesome movie. I will say that Adam Sandler movies overall though took a real nose dive with Click. They are almost too dark or depressing. Edit: looks like his darkest period was like 2005-2009. He had Click, Spanglish, that 9/11 movie "reign over me" and that movie where he was a comic dying of cancer.

Royale with Cheese Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Always liked him as a person but never really liked his movies....I don't get the humor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jr1 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I liked the sports themed ones like Happy Gilmore and The Longest Yard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maury Ballstein Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Little Nicky may be the worst movie ever. Crazy talk. Rodney Dangerfields parts were hilarious, as was the deep Deep South jokes. Billy Madison, Waterboy, Wedding Singer, 50 First Dates, Funny People (after a few watches) are all good imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Always liked him as a person but never really liked his movies....I don't get the humor. Simple humor I get. The off the wall is too cornball for me. Maybe if I were stoned or trippin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhg Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I didn't mind him on SNL, but his shtick got really old. The Longest Yard remake is one movie that should never have been made. Just an awful reboot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 With the way he loves doing all the stupid voices, he really should be doing children's movies and cartoons full time. Unfortunately, he's still getting paid to put out all the crap he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a very wealthy man now. Stupid sells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Madison, Waterboy, Wedding Singer, 50 First Dates, Funny People (after a few watches) are all good imo. I like to laugh, and even the worst comedy can usually elicit a chuckle or two. That movie had no redeemable qualities. Nothing was remotely funny, and certainly nowhere near hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
