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

May God have mercy on your soul.
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!

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.
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
What do you do? I'm super curious about the 'behind the scenes' of the movie industry.

the only good Adam Sandler movie is uncut gems
its a good movie, he is cast perfectly, and he gets punched in the face
Leo is surprisingly good, but it's geared towards kids so most adults may not have seen it.
Nah punch drunk love is also really good
counterpoint: eight crazy nights absolutely slapped when i was 11
I just watched it the other day and I still love it. Probably the nostalgia speaking, more than it actually being good, though, haha

Especially in Click.
Kate Beckinsale
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.
