I don't always like Adam Sandler. But when I do it's in this movie. And that other one where he tries to be a golfer.
Happy Gilmore! That's the golfer. I liked that one was well.
Sandler had quite a run there for a while. Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison, The Waterboy, Big Daddy, and Little Nicky were all big hits and all have their fans! I don't care for BD much, and kind of consider LN his last really funny movie. The other 3 though I think are comedy classics that hold up pretty well. Sandler is so stupid, slapstick, and offensive that they transcend themselves somehow (a few particularly bad jokes here and there aside).
I think the ones he did with Drew Barrymore (Wedding Singer, 50 First Dates, Blended less so) were pretty good. I still regularly sing, "Somebody kill me please," to myself
