What are your thoughts on Adam Sandler?

Jewish privilege

Huge TrumpTwat, supposedly a huge homophobe. And about as funny as Twacy Mo'gan.

Not nearly as funny as he thinks he is and has terrible taste in friends.

About as funny as Andy Samberg. Andy Samberg isn't funny.

Not funny and made far too many movies OP.

I prefer not to think about Adam Sandler

One of the ugliest people ever to headline a movie.

He's always ugly and never funny. How he's in the movie business is a mystery. Maybe as R1 says.

Quite ugly and also not funny. Rob Schneider is funnier so there you have it.

A-hole. Humorless. Aging.

Adam Sandler is genuinely a nice person, supportive of minorities, including gays, and gave Winona Ryder a job (after her shop-lifting conviction) in one of his movies when no one else would. But.......his movies are quite juvenile. "Jack And Jill", literally bathroom humor. Nice guy, but I don't think he'll ever come close to winning an Oscar.

He's hit and miss.

But what I like about Sandler is that his movies have great themes and his heart is always in the right place.

Niceness isn't enough to excel and rise to the top in this great art form. Look at poor, dear Glennie. You have to be deeply loved and blessed with talent, and few of us are that.

Nowhere near as talented as he appears to believe he is.

Kind to fans and from what I hear, a nice person. His movies are juvenile but have their moments n

I'd rather get Andy Samberg's dick in a box than Adam Sandler's.

Nice guy. All his movies since 2000 have gotten progressively worse. Little Nicky was good for a chuckle or 2. Jack and Jill was cringe worthy.

I LOVED him back when he was on "Remote Control" in the late 80s. I thought he was kinda cute back then as well.

But, he should start doing stuff behind the camera now, He is unbelievably loyal to all his SNL alum friends(even those for whom work has dried up) and he will always find some work for them. He helped a friend of mine when his career was in a dry patch and Sandler was at the top of his game. It completely revived my friend's career and he even got a lead role in a pay cable comedy as a result..

So I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for Sandler.

Are you kidding? He is a nasty asshole. It was revealed in the sony email hacks! He was hated by everyone!

That monotonous Hannukah song.

One of his new-ish movies was on a TV station as I checked the channel guide. That movie had definite pedo undertones. It was a slapstick comedy.

Nothing personal, like all in the 'Star System' of our entertainment sector, I don't know him; it's his performing ability we're talking about. Never found him in the last funny just like Chevy Chase, Will Farrell etc. His political beliefs are his own..don't care.

Jimmy Stewart, like the majority of that Golden Age was very right wing and more than likely indifferent to people of color....nonetheless, his performance in The Philadelphia Story is more than memorable...he was fantastic as the drunk who happens in on CK Dexter Haven (Car Grant)

Big Daddy is my favorite Sandler flick. The Water Boy is second. Little Nicky is third.

He'll never win any awards in front of the camera, but his loyalty and generosity (Winona Ryder) speak well of him. Despite the Sony hack leaks, there are far worse assholes in Hollywood than Sandler. And he at least, IMO, far funnier than Samberg.

I never get tired of watching wedding singer. I like him he doesn't seem to have any skeletons or scandals.

Don't find him funny or talented.

He's not funny. All of the $ in the world couldn't make me host his genetics to fruition. Adoption would be the only option.

His stint on SNL was great but his fab Chanukah song is a classic and we'll done. He skates on this.

This era's Jerry Lewis.

His shtick is tiresome, but he made a handful of funny movies.

Unfunny, plays same character over and over, a major contributer to the culture of infantilized adult males and the general dumbing down of America. Trumpanzees would naturally gravitate towards him.

Of course he *may* be a very nice person, and his films usually have some kind of *nice* message (even if deeply coated in nauseating sentimentalism, juvenile misogyny and implied homophobia), so... Nah, fuck it, that doesn't excuse him.

Loved him when he was on Remote Control, and the early SNL days.

I have seen few of his films, The Wedding Singer was good, but I think of him almost weekly. I'm normally sitting down to my lunch in front of my kitchen tv and The Price is Right is just going off. The director's name is Adam Sandler and I smile thinking of THE Adam Sandler moonlighting in his free time running a game show.

I mostly hate everything about him. However, his dramatic turn in Spanglish really got to me. He can act, based on that movie. He just needs to stop being so juvenile.

R31 I could not agree more. He was so poignant in Spanglish, and I really believe that he CAN act if given the right material.

He was one of the top film earners for a period maybe in the 90s. He made film after film with his friends. Not a bad way to live really.

I agree.

However...

I've been bingeing on Netflix standup comedy specials and ran out of people I was interested in, so resorted to Adam Sandler's latest performance, expecting to hate it.

He was HILARIOUS. I would even say "inspired." His movies may suck but his standup act blew me away.

Did anyone else see it? What did you think?

Always much less funny than he thinks he is.

I like his early stuff but he hasn't made anything watchable in at least 15 years

I do not have "thoughts on Adam Sandler." He is too hideous—and too unfunny—a thing with which to trouble my beautiful mind.
