what’s your favorite adam sandler movie
Karsten Runquist pixel movie
Punch-Drunk Love without a doubt
Meyerowitz stories is really good
Jack and Jill because he shows his incredible range by playing both Jack and Jill
Definitely punch drunk love
Adam Sandler is going through a career renaissance of taking more serious roles similar to Ben Stiller and Steve Carell, and I’m not against it at all.
And Eddie Murphy
Redjfulfer he really does have a lot of talent
And Jim Carrey
I think both Ben Stiller and Steve Carell said in an interview at some point that they entered acting intending to take on more heavier roles. But yeah I agree. But it's also interesting comparing them to people like Robert Di Niro who have sort of done the opposite in their acting careers.
And Seth Rogen
as a jew i was forced to watch every adam sandler movie as a child on repeat so i just, have ptsd whenever i see him.
What? Why?
@@VicenteTorresAliasVits adam sandler is also a jew
@@captainicealvarado1677 I know that, but so what?
@@VicenteTorresAliasVits got me there, I'll just go back to my corner
I’m half-Asian, and I also watched Mulan on repeat as a kid so that I can still remember practically every line.
Favorite line: “They popped out of the snow! Like daisies!”
Adam Sandler makes movies for the fans not critics.
Exactly 💞
what's that supposed to mean
@@muro8304 he makes movies that fans enjoy to watch the over again not masterpiece that wins the Oscar
@@mambakid11lol61 i don't how to feel about that, even tho adam sandler was and still is a cool actor i enjoy
He makes what HE wants to make
Adam Sandler is the only person who can play Adam Sandler characters. So he's a good actor.
But not in a good sense.
Like Jim Carrey
@@dndn2924 yes i like both of their comedy movies
_"Many moments are only cherished when they become memories."_
*~ Adam Sandler (Click)*
Сlick is really good
tragicomedy
Yeah, I don't get why people don't like click. I love it, it has the same vibe as Evan Almighty.
I cried for like 20 minutes at click
@@lordbaphie This is the most accurate comment i've seen on youtube 😭😂
i love click too.. one of the first movies, if not the first movie to make me cry so it holds a special place in my heart
He’s actually a really good actor. It’s just the movies he’s in. He’s coming out with a new movie soon.
Absolutely true. But that's because he's inside a bad movie doesn't mean he's automatically a bad actor. If Jim Carrey was inside a bad movie, doesn't mean he's bad?
Sir Friendship exactly. He’s a funny guy, along with Jim.
@@xxx_sista_jud3_xxx Yup.
he was great in meyerowitz stories, so underrated. uncut gems looks incredible.
liam uncut gems looks great. It’s so out of water for Adam, but it looks like he’s gonna handle the role really well.
Did you just disrespect Click? Watch “the last time I saw my father” scene again, shit has legit never made me not cry
Big daddy has to be one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. Whenever it’s on I’m watching it
im i the only one tht wouldn't categorize 'click' as bad. it was actually half decent.
Rajat Chandran I cried the first time I watched it. I think I was 10 but whatever
@@themonkeyshead7520 same
@@themonkeyshead7520 same here bud
I can't watch Click cause I know I'll cry
that movie had some really powerful moments, the "I love you too dad" holy shit I can't hold my tears in that one.
Bro no 🧢 every time I watch click when he gives his wife that note in the rain and it’s too late I cry
Click is actually so good no joke
this
Dude that’s what I was thinking
For me it’s when he goes back to the last moment his dad was alive and hugs the memory of him
Andy Aguila Bro that too it’s crazy that I cry multiple times watching “click” 🤣😭
you can’t return the remote.. I fucking love click aha
“That one movie that your distant cousin from Ohio loves”
I’m from Ohio and do enjoy it so i guess it’s me lol
Maira Hafeez same here, that joke hit too close to home lmao
Lmao. Me too
The Wedding Singer was such a good film, one of my childhood favourites.
You should definitely consider making a video on your favorite films of the decade at the end of the year .Would love to watch that
Georgia Moskiou omg this plz
Yes, please.
YES
yES
But just like a podcast, atleast 40 ninutes long
50 first dates is one of the best comedies and you can’t change my mind
Just wait until you wake up tomorrow. That should change your mind.
@@spooons504 clever 😂
Yes! God I still love that movie so much. A lot of his older stuff was actually really good (IMO) and was funny but still at moments very emotional and grounding. I've cried at a lot of his movies like Click, Big Daddy, 50 first dates, etc.
I honestly love 50 first dates @Jourdan Nance
TheWeaponThat SurpassedMetalGear I don’t get it
He legit has the best job ever, just making movies with his best friends and not having to worry if they do good because he has already made it.
Do people actually categorizes "Click" as bad? I actually liked the movie a lot. I think it was one of his best movies.
I heard he usually chooses to do movies in locations where he wants to go and just treats it as a holiday for him and his crew. (I saw it in a reddit post so it's definitely true)
As someone who’s worked on the crew of a few Happy Madison films, this is definitely true.
Some of the best times I’ve ever had working in that business.
Honestly, if i can travel and goof off in front of a camera for a couple of weeks and get paid regardless, i'll take that chance too
@@TheGeorgeD13 as a fellow member of the internet you must understand how i think you are full of shit and refuse to believe you've worked on happy madison films and are just casually letting that information out there on a random comment.
@@LaLogic2 Okay. Good for you, I guess? Believe what you want.
@@TheGeorgeD13 no, but i legitimately didn't mean to disrespect, i'd like to know more about it
Is there something I'm missing? I've always heard Adam Sandler is the most down-to-earth person outside of the movies. Why is Karsten driving home that he's not a great person?
Because the movies he was usually in were bad. If you think Karsten is is driving home that he's not a great person, then I think you only read the title and didn't watch the video
@@thecasualgamer3324 definitely watched it:
0:42 "regardless of what you think of him as a person" (not as an actor, a person. implying he has a negative image)
6:12 "Adam Sandler may not be a great person" (once again, not as his character or as an actor)
Maybe he meant to say actor, but it just felt very off.
@@Obie. I hear you Matt, I was like what did Adam Sandler do??
probably because Adam Sandler movies don't really hold up with today's PC climate. I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry would be torn apart if played today
@@IchiNiSean that makes sense, although he didn't write those movies
I also absolutely love The Wedding Singer. It’s a comedy that allows for a lot of his typical “Sandler-isms” but not so overtly it’s obnoxious, it’s truly funny, and actually has genuine heart whelming rom com moments. I 100% agree with ur Happy Gilmore choice, but I feel like this one is also super underrated and really great.
i don’t get why people don’t like him, i grew up watching his movies and they’re actually not that bad
You should make a video like this, but with Robert Pattinson.
we already know he's a good actor
Harry Vu yes, but most remember him from Twilight, and not some of his greater roles, like the lighthouse. And nobody really likes or remembers twilight.
@@xxx_sista_jud3_xxx Yeah but unlike Adam Sandler, Robert Pattinson has only had BARELY a few "bad" or not liked films or performances. He's very liked and many people see him as an amazing actor! Even if some may not like him or not give him a chance, that's just a very few people...at least in the film community. Adam Sandler is way more unliked than Robert and also there is a video that talks about how underrated Robert is, I don't remember who made it, but it's out there and it's good!
@@xxx_sista_jud3_xxx He's more underrated than anything, there's no need to clearify how good of an actor he actually is.
Adam sandler has all the tools at his disposal with his company. If anyone is actually using the brainiumm nowadays they’ll know that pattinson isnt just the guy from twighlight. With movies like the lighthouse, high life, and good time people know he can act extremely well
Click is under appreciated, especially the ending
YES THANK YOU
FINALLY!
That fuckin ending...never ready for it.
at some point the story and dialogues do feel weird but i truly loved it. i’ve watched it countless times and it never failed to bring tears to my eyes
Already made this comment but I copy paste for you to see it
"Click is my favorite of his films it tricks you into thinking it just a goofy gimmick movie with fat suit and all but then it hits you with this reality that makes the gimmick come crashing over your head like a avalanche of life lessons that can truly leave a viewer stunned. Its an amazing bait and switch and I love curbing peoples expectations when I show this film at home."
He's not a BAD actor. He just makes terrible movies.
he should stick to acting, he is actually a very good actor, the movies he is in are just very bad
No, his movies are amazing, all of them.
He and Nic Cage are practically a bit similar in that. They're both actually talented, but just chose bad projects to work on..
I love most of his movies... Since I was little..
My favorites-
-just go with it
-blended
-50 first dates
-grown ups 1 and 2
-Billy Madison
-big daddy
-the wedding singer
-the water boy
-jack and Jill
-little Nicky
-I know pronounce you chuck and Larry
-click

**how are those movies bad😔😳**
100% agree he's like my favorite actor, I feel so attacked right now not gonna lie, but I guess I just love stupid humor, no regrets!
they’re bad because there is so little effort put into them, more specifically the recent ones. the writing is samey and all the jokes are lowest common denominator. they haven’t evolved, and for some reason there are many people that are okay with this.
You're definitely allowed to like and even love bad movies. I think everyone has those movies that we see the flaws but it only makes them more endearing. Film is the only medium where a "bad" product can be truly loved and adorned. Make a bad book, it's a bad book. Make a bad video game, it's a bad video game. Make a bad movie and you will get a cult classic with huge following cause they connected to it.
I actually really like Click. I guess you could say that it really clicked with me.
Yes! Awesome movie
I didn't like the comedy aspects in that movie. I thought the jokes were stupid and unfunny, but I did like the dramatic scenes in this movie.
@@Patrick19833 I can agree with that. Although I must admit I did find it funny when Adam Sandler farted in David Hasselhoff's face.
Or you could also not say that.
Patrick Lange kind of agree with you there but it was a powerful film
"You don't mess with Zohan" is the best thing ever
I love pineapples so funny
@@IsaacQuick yeah. One of my friends told me about it and when I heard it had Adam Sandler I thought it'd be shit
I was laughing my ass off throughout the beginning to the end, actually a funny movie, unlike the likes of 'Jack and Jill' or 'Grown ups'.
@@everythingisawesome2903 Well, "Grown Ups", in my opinion, is pretty good but the sequel is just a hit-and-miss.
@@poweroffriendship2.0 yeah, you're right. It's actually the Grown up sequel which I despises more, Grown up 1 certainly has its moments and quite decent.
His performance in Reign over me was absolutely amazing you can feel his pain and heartache
i just discoverd you and im watching everything on your channel and i just wanted to say that i really like how you discribe actors, characters and general chemestry in a movie, i dont know why but is something unique about your videos.
FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT
People have been saying this for decades.
@@bear-ln2jv Quite the opposite for the most part
@@thecasualgamer3324 Maybe to those who hadn't seen Punch-Drunk Love, Spanglish, Funny People or The Meyerowitz Stories. Sandler's known for making shitty films, but for those familiar with his work he's always been a good actor.
I managed to watch Uncut Gems at TIFF, and I can say that it's one of, if not, his best performance to date. For certain parts of the film, I forgot that I was watching Adam Sandler. He completely disappears into the role. Thank God for the Safdie Brothers.
Yea I agree. I heard a lot of people criticize it as him just yelling for two hours but I thought his performance was really dynamic and beautiful. Playing a man who himself is trying to act in different roles in his life (with his family vs in the shop with clients vs being in the back office etc.) his character himself was a man that was playing different characters and trying desperately to keep it all together while he simultaneously fucks it up worse and worse. I really thought it was an amazing performance And He 100% deserves all the accolades he’s getting imo.
Happy Gilmore is universally loved. The few people who don't love it are pretentious hipsters who are afraid to come across as "uncultured", "unsophisticated", "dumb".
Same goes for Billy Madison and Waterboy.
Click was one of his greatest movies. The scene in the rain, I bawled
Brooo finally someone recognizes this man have y'all seen Waterboy? That shit is fire mate
Cachorro Ortiz facts
Waterboy is a classic
dude search “canteen boy snl” that’s what waterboy was based after
ya’ll and mate in the same comment I feel uncomfortable
NEEDLE DICK
Can confirm, uncut gems is amazing, Adam Sandler is really great when given the right material.
Where'd u see it?
@@user-km9bx3gf3z at TIFF
It was at NYFF too. The safdies were there and they Skyped Adam Sandler.
@@everythingisawesome2903 ah gotcha
So happy this video was made!!!! Almost wanted to do it myself but you did it perfectly bro
Hot take: You Don’t Mess With The ZOHAN isn’t as bad as you think it is. I mean, it’s bad, but at least it has the decency to be batshit insane.
I used to work with a guy who hated Zohan so much that he would literally bury every copy around him beneath the dirt.
So, every year someone would bring in a new copy of Zohan. And every year a new hole in the ground would be made.
@@HeyCupertino lolololololol
@@HeyCupertino why lmao
@@rattingcheese687 What would you do stuck up on a mountaintop for five months but fuck with your cabinmates?
I only saw Adam Sandler as being smart for being in those "bad" movies its easy money.
Anuel sucks
50 First Dates will always be my favorite. Saw it when I was young with my mom and has never stopped being my favorite💖💖
"Happy Gilmore is a movie your distant cousin from ohio really loves", how tf does he know
I love Adam Sandler because he makes me laugh. He's the most funniest actor who makes me laugh.
wrong. wrong wrong wrong. he’s never made me laugh. he has very cheap humour.
@@valerievedette9542, you're right; Adam Sandler has never made this guy laugh.
Gunnar Young okok whatever adam sandler made him laugh but what does that prove? his terrible humour
@@valerievedette9542 well atleast I don't have a humour.
This entire thread is giving me a stroke.
Lol the amount of people who will think this is a hot take at first reading it. Lmao it’s just a fact.
Exactly...
He might be but most of his movies are trash
The hot take is people are suddenly praising him because he’s in the upcoming A24 film.
It's a shame he doesn't do more interesting stuff, i'd say he can work with anyone he wants. It's the Nicholas Cage phenomenon, mostly in trite movies but ever once in a while you get a Mandy or a Adaptation
@@masicoler money.
i can't believe you just made me feel some type of way about adam sandler. well done.
Uncut Gems was outstanding and I'm still disappointed it got snubbed. He's a great actor.
I also watched some of his standup recently and I was surprised with how good it was
If you haven’t already, I’d urge you to watch ‘Reign Over Me’ another more serious dramatic role from Sandler
Love that movie
His best acting performance hands down
He is awesome, i’ve loved his work since i was like 7... 50 First Dates and Spanglish he actually shows his range for those type of movies. But in Punch Drunk Love he is just absolutely amazing.
One of my favorite videos you’ve made!!! Really liked this
The longest yard is one of his best. There's no otherwise.
¡HEY, CLICK WASN’T THAT BAD! IT’S MAKES YOU FEEL SOMETHING FOR THE PROTAGONIST
this guy just didn't get the movie.. Сlick is really good
tragicomedy
uzi zizu EXACTLY!
True. It's weird...but it works. It made me cry.
• he knows how to sell really well, and because of that he usually plays the same role, but I’m pretty sure he is a good actor •
This was such a GREAT video thank you!!
I grew up on sandler movies and will confidently say this man is the best thing to happen in my life. Whenever I see him I think I have just met an old time friend. I hope he keeps up his great and comedic acting and lives till a good old age!
He was great in Reign Over Me too.
Ps, nobody hates Happy Gilmore, they merely pretend to
He has such range, it’s just some of the more popular roles he lands that make people think he doesn’t
movies like click, grown ups, billy madison, happy gilmore, big daddy, bedtime stories are honestly great adam sandler classics to just sit down and chill and watch. most of em have great acting, jokes and heart to them.
I grew up with my dad putting on a lot of Adam Sandler movies and I enjoyed every Adam Sandler movie there is to my memory to me every time I see him I think of my father and to me Adam is like my dad.
I’m honestly really excited to see him in more serious movies, when he plays a very down-to-earth character he does incredible.
I listened to a podcast interview and PTA actually said one of the movies that made him cast Adam Sandler in Punch Drunk Love was Big Daddy
He gives a pretty underrated performance in The Week Of, like there’s a lot silly and dumb moments but his monologue at the end was great
Yes, Adam Sandler is "actually good" when he actually tries. The issue is that he doesn't try. The good news is that he seems to be putting more effort into the last part of his career.
Best Adam sandler films:
Funny people
The Meyerowitz stories
Punch drunk love
Reign over me
Happy Gilmore
(I also like)
Bulletproof
Billy madison
Click
Zohan
Grown ups
Don't mess with Zohan
Rakshith M it’s good but not one of his best
Click has some of his best scenes of acting despite not being the strongest movie holistically
What about Billy Madison?
The Variety Channel 101 I love it I also think bulletproof was pretty good
He’s my favorite actor, no matter how people talk abt him
Same, and everyone is saying things like he's stuck in bad movies, there not bad movies!! the humor is intended to be stupid- besides his "bad" movies are just basically him and his friends making movies for fun, like imagine living that life
I actually loved Click, it gave some really good comedy yet having a emotional twist at the end of the movie that will have you not take your family for granted.
Reign over me was another one of his best acting performances. Highly underrated for mine
I feel like "The Cobbler" just went past people head
He plays the same "American Dad" character EVERY. SINGLE. MOVIE.
Hey I’m sorry, I love 50 First Dates. It’s one of my top 3 Rom-Coms, and the ending is absolutely amazing.
I wish you had made this video after watching Uncut Gems! His performance in that one is phenomenal. I totally agree with your take on his beautiful performance in Punch Drunk Love. I think he's the best of all the comedic-turned-serious actors
Ah, looks like Runquist best me to this one. And that is A-okay.
He's a perfectly good actor. His recent movies are just terrible. lol
Congratulations you're the 5,000th video I've liked good job !
‘Reign over me’ is his best performance I can’t believe it wasn’t mentioned
adam sandler has this amazing ability to look dead in the eyes no matter what role he’s playing
I love adam Sandler there’s his movies are always enjoyable even if they aren’t the best
I'm a little surprised Reign Over Me wasn't mentioned
He’s one of my favorite actors haha, especially since he played in many of my childhood movies (personally, my favorite one is definitely “Bedtimes Stories”)
SAME
People: adam sandler is a bad actor
Adam Sandler: hold my chocolate pudding
The fact that you didn't mention Reign Over Me dissapoints me
‘Reign over me’ was surprisingly amazing for a sandler film
Adam Sandler's Click is still the only movie to ever make me cry. Toy Story 4 came close, but still only Click has made me cry.
Adam Driver and Joaquin Phoenix both gave career-best performances this year. Adam Sandler, on the other hand, deserves the Oscar.
I personally think adam sandler is hollywoods laziest actor, when he really gets to work its magic
I grew up on his movies and have always loved him, also his new recent stand up act was truly amazing
50 first dates is a great movie! Also enjoyed uncut gems quite a lot.
What makes him "not a great person?". Never heard anyone complain about him as a person before.
Otherwise mostly agree with your assessment, with the exception of Happy Gilmore, of course.
If you would have asked me if he was a great actor 5 years ago, I would have said, "maybe". Punch Drunk Love being the amazing film it was, I am not sure, it was enough to get him to that great status (Spanglish doesn't come close, nor does Funny People, imo). With the release of The Meyerowitz Stories and this new one, he is *_finally_* showing everyone he does in fact have some chops.
I never disliked him as an actor and always knew he had potential due to Punch Drunk, but I always did consider his films to be pretty garbage, even while most people used to highly praise all of his comedic roles. So yeah, I am pretty stoked that he is doing some other more dramatic type roles, because he really does shine in them. Good for him:)
Thanks for the vid.
I agree it's a pretty odd Association for him to make bad movies equals bad person? I don't remember hearing about any bad scandals Adams been in. A lot of people are noticing this. maybe this guy will add a little footnote saying he misspoke. who knows
@@JayInDecent Glad others noticed as well. After looking at some of the comments, I guess some people are thinking some of his movies might be seen as non-PC; namely _I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry._ I mean...I guess?? Idk, I think that pushing it a bit if people want to complain about that. Who knows what Karsten actually meant, though.
@AlwaysLookCool 729 Assuming you mean Karsten? If so, I kinda agree. I'm a relatively new sub of his, but I've been starting to wonder why I subbed in the first place. I'll probably end up leaving the channel soon.
And if you mean Sandler; well...I'm gonna have to disagree with you there. That would be the first I have heard someone think he was snobby. But everyone has their opinion, including myself, so no offense taken;)
@AlwaysLookCool 729 Oh, haha. Yeah, he does tend to be a bit on the douchey side.
Can’t forget that funny people is one of the most critically underrated films of all time
From my perspective, the actor Jake Johnson has taken a few pages from ‘The Sandler Guidebook to Acting’ and put his own spin on it that makes me admire him the same way I admire Sandler.
So happy someone finally said this
The title is the first Adam Sandler joke I’ve laughed at
Why is Adam sandler a bad person? Not up to date on him at all.
He’s just in a lot of not very good movies
@@spingmufh1007 so being in bad movies means you're not a good person LOL that's such an odd thing to think. It could have been easily cleared up by saying Adam Sandler might have been in a lot of bad movies. But saying Adam Sandler may not be a good person is just out of left field.
OperaTion NoRthwooDs yeah, kinda forgot to say that he was a good person. He definitely is though, pretty much every movie he has made recently with friends was just him having fun with them. He’s a great guy with a few stinkers
@@spingmufh1007 i agree. I think this guy just kind of worded it weird.
There’s also the thing he did when he received a lot of flack for his Netflix movie Ridiculous Six which a lot of people criticized for racist caricatures of Native Americans. It got so bad at one point that the Native American actors quit the set. It was a whole debacle, I’m not sure if it ever ended up coming out. But people were mad because when he addresses the issue he said that he was just trying to make a funny movie and that it was “pro-Indian,” and then described the Native American characters as “good people trying to help his character,” which is frankly just a tired old noble savage stereotype. He didn’t really address the actually racist jokes or the working conditions which caused the actual Native American actors to leave the set.
Thank you. I'm glad someone said it.
Seriously the Meyerowitz Stories quickly became one of my favorite films. It’s on Netflix, watch it. It’s so worth it. It makes you emotional, it’s so relatable, and it makes you think. And I need to restate, it’s so relatable. If you have a family, you will relate to it in some way. I relate to it so much in so many big and little ways. Can’t recommend it enough, watch the Meyerowitz Stories (and the rest of Noah Baumbach’s films, true genius he is).
I actually like Adam Sandler movies because I inherited my father’s humor
i literally love every single movie he's been and has watched ALL his movies.
how is he bad??? Click was sad and a pretty good movie to me IMO. Pixels is pretty awesome except the ending IMO.
But I love you're videos and are awesome.
Bro those adam sandler movies in the beginning are great
4:06 is a really great example about what makes his work great 👌
Adam Sandler is at his best when he isn't just Adam Sandler.
I wish Adam Sandler was in inglorious bastards. That would of been so cool!
Josh Flynn Boy, oh boy.. Do I have the video for you
Samantha Grace your talking about the deep fake ya
PAPA'S TATER TOTS yeah
I just saw Uncut Gems... and I have not seen Punch Drunk Love. I feel a pull to go watch PDL NOW. UG is an absolute anxiety filled roller coaster and I loved it so much.
Bruh, "Click" fucking changed my whole mindset, the ending fucked me uuuup. Such a underrated movie.
