Twenty-one years ago he proved it with Punch-Drunk Love.
Was going to say exactly this.
Sandler is the epitome of DGAF. Love him for it.
Spanglish was a good flick too
Oh yeah. I always forget about that one. The only scene I remember is when he makes a midnight egg sandwich, and I always get hungry thinking about it.
Funny People, Hustle
Guy is playing 5D chess.
Picks elaborate locations to film and brings his friends to visit/act (plus his family for a studio paid vacation) + picks pretty leading women to play his love interests in all his films.
By most accounts, he makes his “shitty” movies because he’s bored or one of his friends needs a job. Any major actor in Hollywood is, barring insane lifestyle stuff, rich enough to never work again.
I would legitimately like to work on one of his films. I feel like it’d be a blast.
You shut your mouth! Waterboy was 10/10, same for Happy Gilmore!
I liked 50 first dates. The premise was interesting
Based on true story as well
Uncut Gems is one of the most stressful experiences in my life
I’d also add Punch Drunk Love to his list of unexpectedly serious movies
I’ve always enjoyed Sandler movies. Probably because I expected exactly what what promised on the tin. A lot of slapstick dumb comedy.
In case you don’t know, he is happy that he’s able to do these little dumb movies and every time they are filming him and his friends basically treat it like a paid vacation.
