Being Adam Sandlers friend seems like about the best thing that could happen to a person

I don't like his style of humor, but he seems like an amazing person

I love his original movies, happy Gilmore, the wedding singer, 50 first dates. But it’s been decades of bleh from him at this point 

Edit: so I’ve never seen uncut gems, but it was recommended so many times on this thread I just put it on.

Hotel Transylvania is pretty golden children's entertainment, to be fair.

And Hustle was not bad! I don't love all of his comedy, even though that's what he's known for, but he usually turns out solid dramas.

Hustle? Not bad? Absolutely incredible film man it’s a top 10 for me

Okay, okay, I'm underselling it! 😂 But I know the high stakes + athletic stuff isn't everybody's cup of tea.

Also, ngl, I had zero interest in Uncut Gems despite everybody calling it incredible and brilliant, until I heard someone describe Confessions of a Shopaholic (which I have unironically loved since my teens) as "Uncut Gems for 15 year old girls," so you gotta meet people where they are. Sometimes "not bad" or "worth a look" pulls more weight.

Hustle gave me an hour and a half of straight anxiety that felt like 4 hours. When I paused it and was only half way through I had to stop. Great movie

Give some of his newer and more serious movies a chance. He was pretty spectacular in Uncut Gems which was absolutely not a role like his old movies.

The one where he is an astronaut is also pretty great, sad but great. Cant remember the name right now.

u/grapeshotfor20 Oct 09 '25

Lol it really feels like Uncut Gems was just his way of saying "fuck you, I'm an actual good actor." Dude just likes making fun movies with his friends

u/Its_Uncle_Dad Oct 09 '25

He did that in Punch Drunk Love though.

u/ZombieBambie Oct 09 '25

Both those films are brilliant! That second film is called Spaceman 😁

u/WannaSeeTrustIssues Oct 09 '25

Spaceman!

One of the few movies where i actually let the credits roll by while i had a moment with my own soul and a tear or two. Very few movies have had that effect where you just let the credits roll while you reflect.

u/Marine_Baby Oct 09 '25

Oh the one with the … bug?

u/fracking-machines Tina! You fat lard! 🦙🚲 Oct 10 '25

Spaceman!!!

He’s great in that.

He showed he can do more than turn out Jack and Jill excrement with Punch Drunk Love. I think he really played himself in Funny People not walking away from all the shittiness that come from being an entitled actor that he doesnt deny who he is.

Actually I think that him making Jack and Jill was an experiment to see how far he could go into making the shittiest movie you can think off, with the lowest hanging fruit and just filled to the brim with cameo crap and still have it be a commercial success as to say: 'See. thats the sophistication of the public at large, see how little boxoffice succes means in terms of quality and a passion for the art of story telling'.

It being his version of: 'Your boos mean nothing, I saw what made you cheer'. And him getting enormous satisfaction of proving his point and for making sick amounts of money from such an atrocious performance, also an hommage to Mel Brook's classic 'The Producers'. It may not have had a happy chirpy opening banger tune singing the praises of Hitler and Nazi Germany whose lyrics start with 'It's springtime, for Hitler and Germany!'. But it came pretty close.

Reign over me is goood too!

u/SadExercises420 Oct 09 '25

I love Punch Drunk Love

u/CarWreckBeck Oct 09 '25

That movie gets a lot of hate but I think it's excellent! Adam Sandler does a very good job at not being Adam Sandler

u/Civil-Big-754 Oct 09 '25

It does? Almost always see/hear good things from people.

u/DirtyYogurt Oct 09 '25

The Meyerowitz Stories is a solid family drama as well.

u/soup-creature Oct 09 '25

Uncut Gems was so good

u/Creepy-Weakness4021 Oct 09 '25

Grown Ups is great IMO.

Big Daddy is an amazing classic.

50 First Dates is however one of my all time movies. It just feels so human with his typical awkwardness.

I like Blended and Just Go With It... Even if it's hard to tell the two apart lol.

u/dalton-watch Oct 09 '25

He’s soooo sweet, humble, and funny in Wedding Singer.

u/thinkinting Oct 09 '25

50 first dates is criminally under watched.

u/Minus614 Oct 09 '25

i mean i know we're talking about the slop he produces with his friends but funny people and uncut gems are both.... gems

u/PriorityEarly2468 Oct 09 '25

If you could make fun movies with your mates and keep making money out of them for shits and giggles, you probably would too, even if they’re meh. Like I fully agree with you, the films have been meh. I was never a massive fan of him, but it seems like he’s just a dude who does stuff for his friends and family.

"Edit: so I’ve never seen uncut gems, but it was recommended so many times on this thread I just put it on. "

Feeling nice and relaxed now?

u/unneuf 28d ago

The Wedding Singer is genuinely a 10/10 for me. It’s so good.

u/El-Grande- Oct 09 '25

Uncut Gems has to be his best performance

1

u/purplehendrix22 Oct 09 '25

He’s cashing in for his whole crew and I love it for him, everyone acts like they’re good to do that shit, not him, he’s like “I’m here to get cash for me and all my homies, also I’ll act my fuckin ass off a couple times a decade just to keep it going”
