Adam Sandler

I just don't get the humor????????????

I'm giving him a 5 star because he of his old preformences. He was so funny on Sturday Night Live, I expecially liked the skits with him and Chris Farley. His movies latley haven't been great but movies like Waterboy and Mr. Deeds are still funny!

I can only imagine what torture a date with him would be like for the poor woman co-erced or bamboozled into going out with him. Would probably end up with her watching Adam Sandler movies with him at the home theatre he's had installed at his Beverly Hills estate-- Adam nudging her continuously with his elbow as he chomps down Jolly-Time popcorn and drinks Budweiser, guffawing, and saying, "Didja catch that bit there from my film 'Little Nicky' with the great Harvey Keitel and Ozzy Osbourne? Didja just love that accent I used in the picture? Meryl Streep couldn't of done better, I tells ya! Or the hair-style I wore? Harvey...Harvey Keitel; me and him are good friends, y'know, an' he's gonna help me with my serious acting career...I thought Harvey was gonna stroke out he was laughin' so hard when he heard me! I don't care what hoity toity snobs like Roger Ebert says...my fans will always love me! They get it! How 'bout 'Eight Crazy Nights'? Hah? Did'ja see that scene where my cartoon ... Read more

From where in New Jersey did they drag this spawn out of? Screaming like a cabbie is supposed to pass as comedy nowadays? God help you if you think so..

Never seen him do standup. His movies? I enjoyed Happy Gilmore quite a lot. I think kids like him a lot more than adults.

Prob the funniest jewish comedian out there!

Pretty good at playing a moron; Hollywood always has an opening for reliable slapstick comedians.  Not much good in any other role, hard as he tries.  One or two of his movie remain memorable-Anger Management wasn't bad.

he was better on SNL than in his movies.  I like Happy Gilmore, but that's about it.  I tried to watch Billy Madison again when it came on tv the other day... i had to turn it.  i remember thinking, "when was this ever funny to me?"

One of my favorites. Very funny guy. He plays in a lot of pretty good movies!

better on screen than on stage.

Another hilarious actor - loved him in Mr. Deeds and Billy Madison. I could do without his singing though.

I'm not a fan, but at least his stand-up is better than his movies.

Juvenile oatmeal for morons and dopes.

I would NEVER date him. I always say I like a man with a sense of humor but he takes it to the extreme. Sorry, Adam!

To those of you who think this man is funny, let me explain something. Charlie Chaplin was a talented comedian. W. C. Fields was a talented comedian. Groucho Marx was a talented comedian. Adam Sandler is the Jerry Lewis of the 21st century, neither funny nor talented. If you think he's funny, watch the aforementioned performers; their films are truly, classically funny. If Marx, Fields, et. al. are to be grouped in the same category with a man who has made a career out of yelling and mugging and essentially acting like a mentally-ill chimpanzee, something is wrong. God help us if one day the standards get so low that Sandler will be accepted into the pantheon of comic geniuses. The only mildly amusing thing he has ever done was the Channukah song, and that was a long, long time ago.

I really do not understand why people find him funny. He isn't that talented, and isn't funny.

He's done some funny work. I have laughed during some of his movies, but his last few things were so awful I couldn't get through them...and I haven't seen him do anything in quite a while.

He's a crappy actor on an incredible lucky streak. He plays the same character, pulls the same jokes and makes the same movie in different settings over and over. He's like the Bob Hope of his generation, except Bob was a better comic.

Don't really understand what people see in him. His acting is not consistent and his stand up is only just bearable. The only redeeming creative song was Ode to My Car and then only if it's the radio edit version.

He's pretty funny.

Very funny movies!

Great actor but my only hang-up is that he sometimes talks like a child during his comedic stints.

He has his loyal following, and his juvenile themes are attractive to many.

Not FUNNY!!!!

He is not really good looking, but he is incredibly cute, that already make me wanna date him.

how can you not like this guy.he makes me laugh,thats enough for me

Sometimes he's good. I liked Big Daddy.

He always plays the same type of character-a moron. Kind of gets old after a while.

He is always playing the idiot in every movie he does. Oh and by the way his movies SUCK too!!!

He's funny, but how much longer can he continue to play the same type of character?

Underrated. I love his funny, nit-witted characters. Every movie he's made makes me laugh.

retarded

He is the same character in every film (with the possible exception of the Waterboy, which, in my opinion, is the only film of his worth watching.

He is usually pretty funny and cool.

YES! I LOVE HIS LOOKS, HIS VOICE, HIS HUMOUR! HE ROCKS MY WORLD!

Adam Sandler is one of the funniest people in the world. And his movies are hilarious.

i love adam sandler. he is not hot, but he is really funny. i think a date with him would be fun. you know he would not play someone else.

Horrible stand-up. Bad movies. Anything I should add?

The guys pretty funny, but his best of adam sandler dvd for saturday night live is pretty dull

Adam tends to play the same character in most of his movies. Little Nicky and Water Boy being the exceptions, but his films are funny and he does a great job in all of them even Little Nicky. Happy Gillmore is my favorite, the concept is hillarious and the scenes with Bob Barker are classic.

good in movies.

As an actor definitely overrated. He has other talents, but acting isn't one of them. He should reall stick to comedy.

Perhaps the best known actor of the age who never gets many laughs. Most of his movies, not to mention his gags, are unfunny, repetitive and pointless.

I just cannot understand the mass popularity Adam Sandler unless my faith in the masses is downgraded. While he is funny and entertaining in small doses and in supporting roles (as he was on Saturday Night Live), his style is too sophomoric and non-cerebral for my tastes (though I suppose sophomores need their entertainers as well). Anyway, I have given Sandler chances and have seen at least three of his movies, namely Happy Gilmore (1996), The Waterboy (1998), and The Wedding Singer (1998). Of these three, only the latter was of any consistent merit (though an improved screenplay and direction could have made this film better), and both Gilmore and Waterboy had their moments (the former more so that the latter). The bottom line is that Sandler is like lots of music out there; he may be funny while one has less developed tastes, but one normally outgrows it in short order. Perhaps this is due to Sandler pushing quantity over quality (as evidenced by the large number of movies in r... Read more

I have liked a couple of his movies. He plays the same characters in his movies for the most part. I think he is overrated and way overpayed.

Sandler is terrible. All of his movies are the same. His cutsie tough guy thing is so played out it makes me sick.

The only Sandler flick I liked was Happy Gilmore, but the more I see of him the more I think Happy was a fluke. The rest of his movies are in the same vein but most are completely unwatchable. He's not particularly funny and I can live without him.

I like Adam Sandler, but under the category of Dream Date? Are you kidding? That's like putting Rosie O'Donnell up for the men's Dream Date!

As I have already said, he did a string of really good movies, but then he went downhill fast. And it doesn't appear that it is gonna get better. My favorites out of his movies would include Happy Gilmore, The Wedding Singer, and Big Daddy in that order.

Sandler is a good actor and comedian in movies. All of his movies Ive found enjoyable and pretty funny. I liked his preformance in Mr. Deeds the best. I think his best choice would be too stay in movies. Totally different than Bill Cosby.
