    I didn’t watch the trailers for it, but Click by Adam Sandler was supposedly marketed as another Adam Sandler comedy but was actually tearjerker drama with a medium heavy sprinkle of comedy.

      Oh yeah. That one caught me off guard as a child. Did not expect to leave that theater crying. 9/10 movie though.

        His only good movie is Uncut Gems. Maybe Hustle.

        Everything else without fail he falls back to his hur-dur retard voice and humour that only a five year old would find funny.

        I get that he has his fans, but they’re the sort of people who talk to each other in Rick and Morty quotes.

        to each his own I guess. He’s not my favourite actor, not even my favourite comedy actor (that goes to the late Robin Williams). But he makes decent movies, especially his old ones. The new ones, especially if produced by his studio Happy Madison, are formulaic and bland.

        Why do you hate him with fiery passion?

      One of the best Adam Sandler movies. His usual shit got old fast and it’s one of the few actual well written movies with substance he’s done. Funny people was decent too, mostly cuz he basically plays himself and is a sad clown douchebag in his personal life, which I don’t know if is true but I bought it.

        I think it might be my favourite too. it’s between that and Uncut Gems.

        Anger Management with Jack Nicholson was good too.
