As bad as people say this movie is


I still like it better than any Sandler movie that came after. The later movies didn't have the bat-shit crazy spirit of his first movies that I enjoyed so much. Same thing happened with Jim Carrey after Me, Myself and Irene.

They both made a couple of decent movies afterwards, but nothing like the pre-2001 movies that for my personal tastes in comedy were so gut bustingly funny.

I think this is one of his best movies.

I personally put it 4th behind Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore and the Waterboy.

I really like The Longest Yard as well. It's one of those movies that I say to myself that I won't watch it again whenever it's on TV, yet I always end up watching it. xd

Agreed . But I’d swap mr deeds with waterboy

These days, you can tell Sandler is not even trying anymore, just another payday from a job which gives him and his buddies vacations to enjoy. It's as if he reached his creative high point then got bored once hitting a peak. Little Nicky is funny because it is aware of itself.

Absolutely.

It would help Sandler if he thought about challenging himself as an actor instead of bringing in the easy money. His Hotel Transylvania work is good family fare.

I think he should just start smoking lots of weed again.
