The tough thing in gauging that question is to determine what Sandler was exactly. He was one of the most unique

For the entire 90s, dude was on top of the world. I actually love
Anger Management
(2003) which a lot of people don't. I thought it was a still goofy but slightly more mature comedy (he was a businessman and not a slacker, lol) that got underappreciated. Nicholson even co-starred in it! I thought during the mid 00s he was still pretty solid. I'd say
Click
, and
Chuck & Larry
(06-07) were his last consistently great and entertaining movies.
I don't know if was just the fact that he was over 40 after that, or just didn't put as much effort into it anymore after being so used to being successful, but you've definitely got a point that in the 1c84last ten years, he's usually the rich suburban dad or pursuing beautiful young women half his age.
His more recent movies are entertaining to watch once or twice, but they aren't memorable and laugh a minute the way Billy Madison, Gilmore, or Wedding Singer are. -

"not funny in sketches, but funny in Weekend Update" that is not unique, that is the definition of almost everyone who was ever on SNL
You don't have to be creative to make fun of the news
Adam was born in 1966, so he stopped being funny in 1967? -

There's two answers to that question.
- When you grew up.
- He was never actually funny.
The reason you think he once was is because you were probably a lot easier to entertain when you were younger, and you may still have a nostalgia for those earlier films of his, that fools you that they're actually good.. Believe me, if Billy Madison, or Happy Gilmore, or The Waterboy were released today, you would hate them just as much as his recent films.
