I'm not impressed about this. Adam Sandler used to be a comical genius and now he's only appealing to kids. He needs to go back to doing R rated films and completely ignore the fact that "That's My Boy" was a terrible and unfunny movie. His last good movie in my opinion was "You Don't Mess With The Zohan" That movie was absolutely hilarious and I was laughing my ass off all the way through. "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry" was funny and underrated. "Grown Up's 2" have me a few laughs but it wasn't the best, David Spade Chris Rock is who made it funny.... Adam Sandler did not.

His most well received films are "Happy Gillmor", "Billy Madison" and "The Wedding Singer" in terms of critics, and both of those films are classics. "The Water Boy" was very well liked by a lot of movie goes as was the more serious "50 First Dates".

Personally my favorites were "Big Daddy" and "Little Nicky". Both of these films seemed to be quite well received in the comedy crowd and I recall them doing quite well when they came out. They didn't get high reviews, but they were well liked by your comedy viewers. They are also probably two of his funniest and most creative films he's ever done.

Sandler suffers from same weakness many SNL alums do, his gimick wear off and gets old.  He had a few amusing films in the 90s, but then was tired of it.  His more dramatic attempts showed promise, but too easy to make money cranking out junk with friends and product placement.  Snadler knows how the industry works and how to make millions, but he doesn't know how to make good movies.
