Are you talking about this Happy Madison movies or just any movie he has starred in?

Movies like Reign on Me, Punch Drunk Love, and Spanglish are not his movies but movies he just starred in. The Happy Madison movies such as Jack and Jill and Zohan are his Happy Madison movies from his production company.

I really don't care for him but I do like some of his movies. LOVE "My First 50 Dates"!

Also love his song "Piece of $hit Car". Hilarious!

I literally can't think of an Adam Sandler movie I liked. I avoid them now assuming I will dislike them.

Someone said he was from Brooklyn....why did I think he was from New Hampshire?

He doesn't do franchises
His movies run solely on his star power
I like most of his movies. I watch 50 First Dates every time it comes on.

There are some I couldn't get into like Waterboy, Mr. Deeds, that one where he was the Devil's kid, anger management but for the most part I like him.

Actually, Spanglish and Punch Drunk Love showed a side of Sandler that has not often been seen - both very good films. I'm also a sucker for 50 First Dates (and I usually avoid the "chick flic" genre).

I like his older movies, such as Billy Maddison, Happy Gilmore, and Waterboy.

The Wedding Singer is the only one I'll watch again.

In his appearences on the daily show Adam Sandler seems to possess a really limited intellect. I don't like the guy.
