Ace is a Happy Gilmore fan. Brian advised him to revise his stance, with the looming threat of uncertain future employment.

Check it out, Dave. His early movies, like Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison, are definitely funny. Anything in the last 10 years though is hot garbage (except for Grandma's Boy, which he isn't in but he did produce).
I thought this was a battle between Happy Gilmore and Ace Ventura...
In this case, it's no contest... Happy Gilmore FTW!
April 13th, 2016 at 10:00 AM ^
Surely, you jest. Happy Gilmore is fine. Ace Ventura is one of the most quotable movies of all time.
April 13th, 2016 at 10:49 AM ^
Quotable, yes. Watchable, no.
...and don't call me Shirley.

the guns don't kill people, I kill people shirt was pretty funny. not trying to make a political statement, just find the shirt amusing.
The fact that you call it "dumb comedy" suggests that you realize that it is, in fact DUMB, and not GOOD.

C'mon
Carl Weathers behind Adam Sandler singing "It's alll in the hips....It's alll in the hips!" is a bit funny!
And Christopher Macdonald playing the smug, asshole top golfer. It's not all that cookie-cutter...there's some decent, original stuff there.

Wedding Singer was decent.

I did not like Sandler much until I saw Punch Drunk Love. I think it's a brilliant movie, and he was great in it. I also liked him in Funny People, but that may have been partially driven by my Leslie Mann crush (at the time).
Since then I've softened my stance on him, but it took those two movies to bring me around.

to admit to my Mann crush. Love her.
Wait...Happy Gilmore is full of stupid voices but Billy Madison isn't? I'm confused.
Are you thinking of The Water Boy?

Due to some misguided sense of nostalgia, I feel as though Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, Bulletproof, The Wedding Singer, The Waterboy, and Big Daddy aren't entirely without redeeming qualities.
Having said that, I find myself unable to rewatch any of them at this point, and have absolutely no desire to. I almost wonder if Sandler movies haven't actually gotten worse, it's just a different era, and we've all changed as people, and have some residual warmness towards his earlier stuff?

I'm glad that you enjoy them, but for me, they most certainly had a time. I'll admit that I'm not entirely immune from laughing at the occasional, well-executed reference from them, though:
I heartily endorse this take.
I can only stand Adam Sandler when I'm feeling like acting like a teenager. And, sadly, with a 2 year old and a 6 year old at home...Adam Sandler movies aren't exactly appropriate for them right now.
I don't love Adam Sandler and never have, but there's a certain respect I have for him and his comedy for just being who he is and acting like a big kid. It's stupid comedy, sure, but you don't go into any of his movies thinking you're in for an intellectual challenge.
I wouldn't pay to see any of his recent stuff at a theater, but it's not bad if you're looking for something light-hearted to watch at home.

I challenge you to watch Just Go With It, I found it very entertaining.

Isn't it weird that the sexy PR head is now the lead mom in Modern Family 16-20 years later!

Goddamn right she has. She is a very good looking woman and has "aged" (I'm sure a woman would love to hear that phrasing) soooo well.

I'm with you - the movies are just there now for a laugh if you've nothing else to do at the moment. I remember many nights drinking and reciting the lines from Sandler movies, still have fond memories of those times.
