Literally every movie after Billy Madison is a carbon copy that doesn't live up to the insane purity of Billy Madison.

Billy Madison is trash. Happy Gilmore is amazing. I've already made my grave on this hill and added barricades.

I'm probably remembering wrong but The Longest Yard doesn't have a love interest in it does it?
Not written by Sandler so doesn't count.
Ah that's fair!
Men: "Pfft Women wouldn't date Adam Sandler, they only date muscle bound chads!"
Women:
Dude on the left is still muscular. And looks significantly in better shape that Adam Sandler. There truly is dad bod inflation
But, see, the problem is... The problem is that... That uh... The problem is that women don't know what they like!!!
In my experience, the people who really like large muscular men are other men.

"Well, I don't like men with too many muscles."
"I didn't make him for you!"
Janet changed her mind real quick when Brad wasn't there.
Ah yes, from the documentary film Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Actually that movie wasn't entirely wrong, the palest people there were a brother/sister incest couple, so they got that right.
Riff and Magenta arguably exhibited the healthiest romantic relationship out of everyone in the film.

This is him and his wife, so pretty realistic
He would look approximately 46.2% better if he didn't dress like this.
Dude dresses like a child. I've seen this look often on American adults, it is interesting
He's pregnant, cut him some slack.

Counterpoint: IRL Adam Sandler has money and personality.
Is it really that difficult to find a picture of peach that AI has to be used to make this meme?
It's also really bad even for AI.
Not only would it have been really, really easy to find a non-AI image, it would have been similarly easy to get better results from image gen. It's like they went out of their way to find the worst slop possible.
right is the joke that they're both ugly and malformed?
I heard people theorize that Sandler has to be an amazing guy and great friend and all the good actors star in his shit movies as a personal favor. I also heard somewhere that at when they finish shooting for the day a boombox automatically appears on the set and it turns into a party.
His movies are just group trips to nice places with his friends and they all get paid. The great friend part seems to check out if you ask me.
Basically none of them are amazing movies but everyone gets paid. Sometimes for going to a tropical resort.
Basically none of them are amazing movies but everyone gets paid.
Sandler turned out a number of genuine hits. Uncut Gems was a serious work of art. Happy Gilmore was a fun modern take on Caddyshack. 50 First Dates was as legit a RomCom as has ever been produced.
But he's also turned out so much slop that it can be easy to lose the wheat amid the chaffe.

As someone who works in film, I don’t understand how people would be down with that. Our days are stupid long and exhausting. Everyone usually just wants to get home by the time we finally finish

Also every Ben Stiller romcom (and most his other movies too). Dude’s got a hangup on cute blondes, we get it already.
Also every Ben Stiller romcom
Ben Stiller is a grade A certified piece of ass and I'd break off a piece in a heartbeat.
Here's some more Aren't half those cute blondes his actual wife?
Were, I think.
And for Sandler it's pretty much just Drew Barrymore, again. Three is a lot.

I think the only exception is Punch Drunk Love which is coincidentally also the best movie he ever made
It was written and directed by someone else entirely. Adam Sandler just stars in the movie. Anything actually good he's been in hasn't been one of his own projects.
One of my favorite movie anecdotes is that during some press conference promoting Magnolia someone asked Paul Thomas Anderson what his next movie is going to be and he said "a comedy with Adam Sandler" and everyone laughed. And then he made Punch Drunk Love.
Also, Reign over Me was also pretty good.
the only good Adam Sandler movie is uncut gems
its a good movie, he is cast perfectly, and he gets punched in the face

Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston is like what I imagine my parents' Tom Hanks and Meg Ryans felt like. I will literally watch any cheesy direct-to-streaming B-rate romcom with the two of them in it. They're so dorky and cute together I love them.
He’s Woody Allen with grossout gags instead of pseudointellectualism.
