Literally every movie after Billy Madison is a carbon copy that doesn't live up to the insane purity of Billy Madison.

May God have mercy on your soul.
i would add Happy Gilmore (which came right after Billy Madison) and my wife insists Wedding Singer are added to the cannon before we fire it. otherwise we're with you, grapeshot loaded tally ho
Billy Madison is trash. Happy Gilmore is amazing. I've already made my grave on this hill and added barricades.

I'm probably remembering wrong but The Longest Yard doesn't have a love interest in it does it?
Not written by Sandler so doesn't count.
Ah that's fair!
This is him and his wife, so pretty realistic
He would look approximately 46.2% better if he didn't dress like this.
Dude dresses like a child. I've seen this look often on American adults, it is interesting
He's pregnant, cut him some slack.
I think his style is what makes him look better lol

Counterpoint: IRL Adam Sandler has money and personality.
Men: "Pfft Women wouldn't date Adam Sandler, they only date muscle bound chads!"
Women:
Dude on the left is still muscular. And looks significantly in better shape that Adam Sandler. There truly is dad bod inflation
i’m someone who grew up fat/ morbidlyobese and is now 160 lbs at 6’0” height, this is real af and talking about weight with anyone now pisses me tf off usually.
people are fat as shit now and it’s entirely normalized. you can’t even say being fat is bad for you without someone asserting that it’s possible to be both overweight and healthy at the same time. it’s not. being overweight at all, let alone fucking obese or morbidly obese, is literally up there with smoking and drinking on the shaving years off your life scale. no one should be made fun of for their body but portions of the fat acceptance movement went too far deluding people into risking their health, and corporate america has been feeding us all literal high calorie slop that is as addicting as fucking drugs.
virtually everyone is at least somewhat overweight now in america, most people are obese, with the rest of the west trending towards the same fate. it’s a gigantic fucking public health crisis. i’ll talk about how i need to lose 10-20 lbs and people will say “tHaT wOuLd mAkE yOu lOoK sIcKlY ThO!?!”… 1. who the fuck cares? it’s my body and idk why vanity is such a big factor for people, anyway. idgaf if being a normal weight for my height would make me look “sickly” in a country like this 2. and it really fucking wouldn’t! i don’t have an eating disorder or anything, and i’m smart enough to objectively measure and maintain my own body. i could stand to lose a few pounds of fat and go to the gym!
i’m sitting here having to have been made fun of my whole childhood for being fat and now ive grown up into bizarro world where everyone is overweight and i’m the weird one again for trying to maintain my body. fuck you guys. my kungfu is better than yours. lmao jk but being fat as a kid is seriously traumatic. not wanting to take your shirt off at pools really sucks and is a part of it but there’s worse stuff. i still don’t really like my body bc i probably will need to have loose skin removal surgery over my torso to look normal. not sure, will try bulking up a bit first but have never been a gymbro or anything like that. maybe it’ll turn out okay.
thanks for coming to the local trauma dump haveawonderfulnightcomeagain.
I hear you. I was always a skinny kid, but I went through some bad, traumatic shit in my early twenties and ballooned up - from 105 to 177 as a 5'0" woman. Being obese sucked and I've worked super hard to get the weight off and keep it off. But in the meantime the HAES / fat acceptance thing took off and now I feel like I'm living in bizarro world. I hated being obese for so many reasons and can't imagine how people can convince themselves that it's okay to just remain like that. I mean, to each their own, but they're setting themselves up for disease and disability. I think it's really sad.
I feel heard for the first time. I'm 6'3" and ~165lbs these days and I hear so consistently I'm skin and bones. As if I don't still have a healthy gut/spare tire.
I'm mostly surprised you didn't touch on clothes not being made for what used to be the most standard of body sizes.
Know you aren't alone if nothing else.

But, see, the problem is... The problem is that... That uh... The problem is that women don't know what they like!!!
In my experience, the people who really like large muscular men are other men.
You're goddamn right we do.

"Well, I don't like men with too many muscles."
"I didn't make him for you!"
He looks like a schmuck in both pictures.
Is it really that difficult to find a picture of peach that AI has to be used to make this meme?
It's also really bad even for AI.
Not only would it have been really, really easy to find a non-AI image, it would have been similarly easy to get better results from image gen. It's like they went out of their way to find the worst slop possible.
right is the joke that they're both ugly and malformed?
Right?
If they wanted a Peach that was drawn smoking hot, they could go to any image board and there would be thousands.
Instead they used... That thing that looks weird instead of cute or sexy.

Especially in Click.
Kate Beckinsale
I heard people theorize that Sandler has to be an amazing guy and great friend and all the good actors star in his shit movies as a personal favor. I also heard somewhere that at when they finish shooting for the day a boombox automatically appears on the set and it turns into a party.
His movies are just group trips to nice places with his friends and they all get paid. The great friend part seems to check out if you ask me.
Basically none of them are amazing movies but everyone gets paid. Sometimes for going to a tropical resort.
Basically none of them are amazing movies but everyone gets paid.
Sandler turned out a number of genuine hits. Uncut Gems was a serious work of art. Happy Gilmore was a fun modern take on Caddyshack. 50 First Dates was as legit a RomCom as has ever been produced.
But he's also turned out so much slop that it can be easy to lose the wheat amid the chaffe.
Okay tbh I phrased it a bit differently from what I meant. I did mean that most aren’t amazing, not that none are.
The slop I think is just there for a regular pay checks and fun with friends, whereas the good movies are to fuel the creative fire.

As someone who works in film, I don’t understand how people would be down with that. Our days are stupid long and exhausting. Everyone usually just wants to get home by the time we finally finish
What do you do? I'm super curious about the 'behind the scenes' of the movie industry.

Also every Ben Stiller romcom (and most his other movies too). Dude’s got a hangup on cute blondes, we get it already.
Also every Ben Stiller romcom
Ben Stiller is a grade A certified piece of ass and I'd break off a piece in a heartbeat.

I think the only exception is Punch Drunk Love which is coincidentally also the best movie he ever made
It was written and directed by someone else entirely. Adam Sandler just stars in the movie. Anything actually good he's been in hasn't been one of his own projects.
One of my favorite movie anecdotes is that during some press conference promoting Magnolia someone asked Paul Thomas Anderson what his next movie is going to be and he said "a comedy with Adam Sandler" and everyone laughed. And then he made Punch Drunk Love.
Also, Reign over Me was also pretty good.
Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston is like what I imagine my parents' Tom Hanks and Meg Ryans felt like. I will literally watch any cheesy direct-to-streaming B-rate romcom with the two of them in it. They're so dorky and cute together I love them.
He’s Woody Allen with grossout gags instead of pseudointellectualism.
