Unpopular opinion, Adam Sandler was never funny, he was just in some good films


This is not a hate post & please don't misunderstand me. I'm NOT saying he's a bad actor. I think he's an excellent actor. He ESPECIALLY shines in dramatic roles

He's been in some good comedies But I honestly just don't think he's funny.

I think he is a good actor who has done some terrible movies. Punch Drunk Love, Spanglish, Funny People and Spanglish are good movies; the rest are awful.

I HATED the dude on SNL ("Opera Man" SUCKED) but I think I liked every one of his films, including Jack and Jill, and excluding that crappy jewelry movie.

I have the same opinion for Will Ferrell.

Same here. I still don't find him funny. But same as Sandler, I think he's a pretty darn good actor

I find the films written by Adam Sandler to be s-hit.
I find the films produced by Adam Sandler to be s-hit.
However i like The Wedding Singer, Uncut Gems & Hustle.
I would or never has paid to see any of his films.

He did frat-boy comedy, which was, I guess, kind of funny if you went to college only to get drunk. His stuff does not age well.

He did fratboy comedy. Frat boys are full of themselves, but they are not funny—silly, stupid as gross, but not a scintilla of actual wit. His schtick gets old as soon as your balls drop.

To be fair, the only movies of his I ever liked were "Mr. Deeds" and "Bedtime Stories." All his other movies rubbed me the wrong way.

I agree with you, he was only funny in the late 90s/early 00s.
