I can't lie as a younging Adam Sandler was funny as hell to me.
Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison, The Waterboy, Little Nicky.
But it seems like now his shyt has been :trash:

I know he fell off awhile ago but can anybody remember what the first movie was that had him going downhill?

Waterboy and Wedding Singer were the last great Adam Sandler flicks. His falloff started with Little Nicky. shyt was ridiculously corny and Nicky was the worst Sandler character ever until that Jack and Jill garbage. Anger Management and Mr. Deeds, he tried to get right, but it was too late.

How was Funny People?
I remember people saying it was a failed attempt at him being serious

Chuck and larry was ok, but that's because of Jessica Biel's body...Zohan was another annoying character and Click was corny. I still say Little Nicky was the first flick where Sandler started showing cracks in his foundation

I recently watched "Blended" in the last month, that was an alright movie. I enjoyed it.

I liked it
it was tonally inconsistent. Very forgettable performance and movie
So mixed reviews. Sounds like the type I just gotta watch and find out for myself.

"Funny People" is not a real Adam Sandler movie. It's really a Judd Apatow movie that just happens to star Adam Sandler. That's why it's my favorite Adam Sandler movie.


last sandler film i liked was just go with it

Yeah that joint was good. I don't understand why when folks shyt on his recent movies, they ignore that "Just Go With It" was solid.
