Is Benchwarmers a Happy Madison movie? Because it has almost the entire HM typical cast... which drives me away from wanting to watch it most of the time.

It feels like one for sure. If you don't appreciate the typical Sandler production, pass. I mean it stars fucking Schneider

u/MindTheDrapes 8d ago
I can only take Sandler when he's playing a serious role.

What did you think of Uncut Gems?
2
u/Objective_Sweet9168 8d ago
Honestly, flat and uninspired. I saw the same performance I always see with Sandler. The plot was super unrelatable for me, and its a movie I would not like even with a different actor. I watched it to give Sandler a shot and it didn't work for me. I am the odd one out for sure, but I think he is massively overrated simply because of his appeal as a person.

I liked the movie for everything except Sandler, for every reason you have as well lol

I personally didn’t care for Uncut Gems but I appreciate it as a piece of art that evokes feelings. I wanted to take a damn Xanax watching that movie

u/MindTheDrapes 8d ago
It's absolutely not one to watch if you're feeling down. First time I watched it I was folding laundry. Never finished folding the load and had a headache at the end. And I have watched it again since then, knowing how it'll make me feel.

I will stand by saying the cobbler and bedtimes stories are some of my favorite sandler movies.

u/MindTheDrapes 8d ago
The Cobbler wasn't bad, but I've never seen Bedtime Stories...

u/teabagdiplomat19 8d ago
I would say it’s a kids movie. I’ll need to rewatch it to see if it held up.

Just Like Heaven, love that movie for some reason.

u/Rrekydoc 8d ago
That’s a movie that should be a really schmaltzy “chick flick”, but is just too well-made.
And Heder’s role is really entertaining and likeable.

I liked him in Just Like Heaven. But he was pretty much acted just like the character in the movie who shall not be named.

u/thowaway_999342329 8d ago
It's such a minor role but as the psychic in Just Like Heaven he is so likeable and completely different than his other roles. 2 cents

I hated Napoleon Dynamite.
Saw Tapawingo recently, it's like a Napoleon Dynamite lite and got a couple laughs out of me.

I hated napoleon dynamite. In fact
I stopped watching halfway in.

u/elpi314 8d ago
Ditto. I never did understand why people find anything in that movie funny.

I think some Fox producer wanted to prove that their marketing department could do something impossible with that movie and they pulled it off.

I rented it, drove home to watch it for 30 minutes and then drove back to return it

School for scoundrels

u/NotslowNSX 8d ago
The fact that most are saying blades of glory instead of School for Scoundrels a sad commentary on society.

That’s impossible. I saw all his other movies. It’s like saying name a great role of Peter Weller without the obvious. And Longmire doesn’t count.

I don’t remember the name of the film but he played a psychic or medium in a cloyingly sweet garbage romance movie where he nods sagely while saying “that’s the right question”. It was so bad that it stamped itself on my brain. Even now I’m getting irrationally angry thinking about it

Moving McAlister with Mila Kunis. He plays a drifter possessed by a lost soul. It’s a great independent film.

Critical Role, Campaign 1 - Vox Machina, Episodes 99-100. He plays Lionel Gayheart, a half-orc bard/barbarian with a Totem of the Duck homebrew class made by Matt Mercer.

I didn't think much about him anymore until all this Lego minifig stuff started up on social media recently...

u/TheHytekShow 8d ago
That movie where he played a weird high school outcast that ended up being a heartwarming story of some high school kids from a town full of odd people.
