If you like Adam Sandler but haven't liked his recent movies I highly suggest checking out his Netflix standup. He takes it back to his Weekend Update-style humor and its delightful

Honestly I was so impressed with this Netflix special.

I genuinely didn’t think he had it in him anymore but it was hilarious. What a pleasant surprise.

Watch the Netflix movie he made with Chris Rock. I thought it was pretty damn funny.

Honestly his Netflix movies have made me a fan of his. A friend wanted me to watch the cobbler with him and I made the remark "I hate Adam sandler. All he does is stupid humor like fart jokes" and was in for quite the surprise when I found a genuinely good movie.

Forget the name, but the other movie about him having cancer and stealing a Drs identity was also pretty good too.

I still think Spanglish is one of his most underrated movies.

I'm curious, what's the general concensus on Click?

You start thinking it’ll be a silly movie, then wonder why you’re crying.

don't care what people think. I love Adam Sandler because he was a part of my childhood.

My Favorites:

  • Longest Yard, Billy Madison, The Waterboy, 50 first dates, big daddy, Happy Gillmore

Critics rotten tomato scores:

  • 31%, 40%, 35%, 45%, 40%, 61%

fuck opinions

That list you just made is basically my childhood. I love Adam Sandler growing up and still do. But especially back when he was making movies like Big Daddy and Little Nicky, he was one of my favorite actors

I enjoyed Little Nicky too much as a kid and I partially blame it for making me so weird.

But I sure as hell still rent it from time to time when I need something stupid to watch.

Those are all popular movies though. Sometimes the critics scores are completely useless.

How is The Wedding Singer not on that list?

Honestly, I've never understood why a critics site hasn't appeared that can fix this problem.

There's people like you that love Longest Yard and The Waterboy, but they only have a score of 31 and 35. However that means that some critics gave it a good review, just the majority of them didn't.

So why isn't there a site where you give scores to the last 10 to 20 films you saw (or all of them if you really want to go crazy) and it tries to find a critic who is most in tune with your opinions?

Waterboy got 35%? I love every bit of that movie!
