Simon T   10 #1 Posted August 13, 2008 Don't Mess With the Zohan is out this friday but wondered what people thought of Adam Sandler. I always thought he was a no talent wastrel but liked him very much in punch drunk love and am now willing to give him another chnace  what do others think?

Beakerzoid   10 #2 Posted August 13, 2008 He is a great actor trapped in the guise of a pathetic comic. Punch Drunk Love and Reign Over Me both show what great potential he has, if only he would stop surrounding himself with sycophants (Rob Schneider for example) who keep telling him how amazingly funny he is. ALL of his so called comedies are utter tripe - including Wedding Singer (which has the terrible misfortune of also starring the equally unfunny Drew Barrymore). As for Zohan, the trailer is painful enough, and thankfully this year is my 'Sandler-free' year, so I don't have to watch the full film (as mentioned on other threads I have a vow to watch a Sandler film every 2 years just so I can justify saying he is rubbish - otherwise some smart ass will insist that "He is much better these days!". Last year, luckily, saw Reign Over Me released first). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

haddockman   10 #4 Posted August 14, 2008 I think, as seen in films like Reign Over Me, he CAN act, but he always seems to go for easy, play the fool roles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Yog Sothoth   10 #8 Posted September 16, 2008 I once went to see The Wedding Singer at the cinema with a girlfriend and it was the fact that I actually had to explain to her what was happening, right through the film, (see also Who's that Girl?) which suggested the relationship might not have longevity, gorgeous though she was.

Unstable   10 #12 Posted October 8, 2008 Happy Gilmore. I like it. The rest... meh.  I didn't think I'd like Happy Gilmore but it was entertaining and he had a good strong character. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
