I enjoyed Big Daddy and The Wedding Singer and loved Happy Gilmore, so although I haven't liked the looks of any of Sandler's movies in recent years I don't object to his existence on general principle like I do Carrey's.
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Referring back to last week -- I finished Skidoo over the weekend. I still think it's a very strange movie. And I'm not sure how I feel about the first hour or so. But the last half hour is comedy gold.
I'm not sure when exactly it gets great. Probably when the LSD-tripping guards show up on the tower. By that point, the movie has developed an absurd chaos that's great fun if you just go with it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I liked "Spanglish" too, and "Funny people" Ok, I think I'm going to have to admit that I like Adam Sandler. But he didn't write "Spanglish" or "Funny People" so he acted like a grown-up in those.
