Adam Sandler

I just watched Punch Drunk Love.

Now with today's Adam Sandler movies including Just Go with It or the Zohan... I have learned to ignore Adam's comical past and have started to hate him. His classics like Billy Maddison, the Wedding Singer and Happy Gilmore are some of the best comedies ever made.
"I didn't mean that, I think They're excellent finger paintings..."
You can't beat that right there. The last good funny movie Adam made was Big Daddy; which was on it's way out, and much more mature than usual.

From here, his bigger movies started on a more mature comedy line. Some of these movies include 50 First Dates, Chuck & Larry, and the Zohan. I admit I've never seen Zohan- don't mess with him... whatever the hell It's called, I don't even care. The fact is, Happy isn't funny anymore.

Now, the sub-group to his movies are his rare and under noted dramas. Spanglish sucked, but Reign Over Me was incredible and his acting overshadowed even Don Cheadle. As I mentioned, I just watched Punch Drunk Love and- well, not an overly great movie, Adam was a great actor once again.

Now let me make this clear: Adam was not a good actor in Billy Maddison or Happy Gilmore. He merely created hilarious movies that will be classics forever. Now his modern-day comedies suck; so I'm only pointing out that it's not Adam Sandler that sucks, only his comedies. My point is that Adam has the capacity to be just as amazing as his days with his actual funny bone. All he has to do is embrace his perfectly captured awkward state that he portrays so perfectly in Punch Drunk Love and Reign Over Me.

It's 2 in the morning and I'm going to bed but I just wanted my three followers to know what I think about Adam Sandler's current frittering away.
