At What point in time did he stop making funny movies?

in the mid to late 90s he starred in gem after gem, Happy Gilmore, the Waterboy, The Wedding Singer, was Little Nicky the turning point? Mr Deeds wasn't that good... I'm wondering what year did he stop being in funny movies

Zohan and Click were his last decent ones I think. Little Nicky was rotten.

He was always inconsistent. The last one I found tolerable was The Longest Yard.

I think Big Daddy was one of his last good ones. Little Nicky was a dud and he kept going downhill from there mostly.

I agree. I think Big Daddy (1999) was where the tide turned....20 years ago.

He still makes really good movies. For example, he did "just go with it" in 2012 and audiences loved that one. His upcoming movie with Jennifer Aniston is also a guranteed smash hit.

For me, Big Daddy. Never found it funny.
