Spanglish is his only good movie in my opinion.
And it is great
I met him when he was doing the junket tour for Big Daddy, he's actually a really nice guy (Despite me not wanting him to be)

Pretty much, yeah
There's a type of comedy that I don't find funny and he's right centre put in front of lots of it
Don't get me wrong. I know I'm the odd one out here. I've seen people watching Adam Sandler movies all over the world. He's clearly someone who people can connect with and he makes them happy. Mr Bean would be another 'character' that seems to have universal appeal and I happen to like those skits and so I'm not sure what it is about Adam Sandler's type of comedy that doesn't gel with me
And meeting and liking the chap just made me feel more uneasy with myself
But that's how people roll I guess.
Spanglish was brilliant though. Probably because the comedy wasn't the main thrust of the story and maybe that's why it resonated with me

Never saw big daddy but I saw Spanglish and that was a good one and I agree it felt more a drama than a comedy

You should watch it when you get a chance. Probably a little more comedy than drama than Spanglish is, but still a bit of a mix.
I'm surprised he and Drew Barrymore never dated. They seem to have chemistry.

The Wedding Singer was another good one. I had such a crush on Drew Barrymore in that movie

Yeah, I liked it, mostly for their chemistry.

I rewatched all of his stuff endlessly through maybe Click. Definitely feel like he's fallen off since then or I just outgrew it. Did love Uncut Gems though and the basketball movie he did for Netflix wasn't bad.

I still have an immature sense of humor, but I feel Sandler just started to make movies where he and his friends go on vacation. He doesn't have the energy he used to.

I also thought it was funny how he kept drinking liquor out of random objects even though they definitely over did it with that one lol

Some tragedy was needed for the downfall and comeback, but I agree that was too much. It easily could have been that his career was beset by injuries and he ended up getting divorced or something.
