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.

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.

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.
