Adam Sandler's 47 movies - maybe 5 of them are good

WEBVTT

1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.800
Caalaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm
Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news.

2
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:15.400
I needed to accommodate my travels,
so I thought would take a look at

3
00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:21.079
Vulture is updated what is the best
Adam Sailor movie? And then they followed

4
00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:25.079
up with what is an Adam Sailor
movie? This is by Jesse David Fox,

5
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:29.800
last updated in March. I'll go
first. The best Adam Sadlor movie

6
00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:34.759
is clearly uncut. Gems Hustle,
the basketball one is second, fifty First

7
00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:40.079
Dates is probably third. Wedding singer
isn't bad, the one with the alien

8
00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:44.719
he just did, surprisingly not horrible. Everything else garbage, all right.

9
00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:49.520
Vulture starts with number forty seven.
There are forty seven Adam Sandler films.

10
00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:53.960
You kidding me? This tier is
called the bottom. Nineteen eighty Nine's Going

11
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:57.960
Overboard Adam's first movie, if you
can even call it a movie, Wilt

12
00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:00.960
writes to put it mildly, Sailor's
first film, released a year after graduated

13
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:06.760
from NYU, is an unwatchable piece
of crap. Not only is the film

14
00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:10.680
amateurish, the crew forgot to bring
the box of lenses, so the cinematographer

15
00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:14.719
was forced to shoot with the wrong
equipment. Sandler's performance is hardly a diamond

16
00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:17.640
in the rough. It's just rough. What is this calling it? I

17
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:22.920
want to watch this going overboarder right
forty six. The Cobbler twenty fourteen Adams's

18
00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:26.280
worst collaboration with an acclaimed director.
What was the Cobbler? After losing his

19
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:30.680
father, a New York cobbler decides
to get his life together and tries to

20
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:34.120
find his purpose by magically turning into
his customers, which he does by literally

21
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:42.159
walking in their shoes Cheese Bulletproof from
nineteen ninety six What Is This? When

22
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:45.920
Damon Wayns hosted SNL in nineteen ninety
four, Sandler suggested that they do an

23
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:51.079
action comedy together. Wayn's a charming, competent undercover cup and Sandler is a

24
00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:55.560
sweet, dim, small time crook
who turns on the kingpin slash comedic foil.

25
00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:57.959
You know, I'm more interested in
this worse tier than even talking about

26
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:01.640
the movies that some people like for
some inexplicable reason. At least we can

27
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:06.519
all agree these are terrible. Number
forty four Pixels from twenty fifteen, subheading

28
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:09.360
At some point, you get too
old to play a Manchild forty three,

29
00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:13.719
The Longest Yard from two thousand and
five. You know, I don't hate

30
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:15.479
that one. I got to remember
to add that one to my top tier

31
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:20.879
of Sandler's. Obviously, the Burt
Reynolds one is light ears better. It

32
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:23.639
would be like comparing this podcast we're
listening to today to whatever. The best

33
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:28.280
episode of Late Night with David Letterman
NBC version was like, it would be

34
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:31.400
comparing that to that. But I
don't hate the Longest Yard. They wrote.

35
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:35.599
It feels more like a Vince Vaughn
movie that Sandler ended up making simply

36
00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:39.280
because he likes sports. Number forty
two Just go with It from twenty eleven.

37
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:45.319
Jennifer Aniston in this one, I
have no memory of that. Sandler

38
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:51.719
plays a successful plastic surgeon and Jennifer
Aniston his assistant. Forty one Mister Deed's

39
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:54.360
from two thousand and two. Though
the film oddly lacks much Sandler, it

40
00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:58.159
does reveal a lot about what's important
to him. Well, I like this

41
00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:00.680
review. If you don't like Adam
Sandler, Deed's is a more watchable movie

42
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:05.759
than many of the films ranked above
it. That's because there's little Adam Sandler

43
00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:07.080
in it. Oh, I might
have to watch this now, Winona writer.

44
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:09.879
Isn't this thing all right? Then? Maybe I'll check that one out.

45
00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:15.439
Number forty I now pronounce you,
Chuck and Larry. Can we cancel

46
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:19.680
Adam Sandler for making this movie?
Vulture rights. This movie sucks and Sandlor

47
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:23.560
sucks in it. Number thirty nine, Men, women and Children from twenty

48
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:27.800
fourteen. I don't remember this either. Sandler and Rosemary de Witt, a

49
00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:30.360
married couple who each use different parts
of the Internet to find people to have

50
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:35.599
affairs with, is absolutely lovely Walture
Wrights. I wish director Jason Rightman had

51
00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:39.360
just released a short film of their
twenty minutes. Specifically, the film includes

52
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:43.520
two of the best dramatic scenes of
Sandler's career. The first is his interaction

53
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:46.280
with the sex worker. I don't
want to see that. Thirty eight Airheads

54
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:50.520
nineteen ninety four, the first time
Sandler's charm have found its way to the

55
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:53.759
big screen. Thirty seven Bedtime Stories
two thousand and eight. I don't remember

56
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:57.879
that either. I'm reading the paragraphs
here. I don't even know what this

57
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:00.639
movie is about. Sandler gets to
play stupid little character is like a stupid

58
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:04.319
night, a stupid Cowboy and a
stupid Spaceman? Isn't that his entire film

59
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:09.479
resume? All right? New tier, watchable but flawed? Thirty six Rain

60
00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:12.520
Over Me. I don't remember this
either. From two thousand and seven,

61
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:16.800
Sandler plays CHUIRLEYE, the PTSD suffering
New Yorker who lost his wife and children.

62
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:21.399
On nine to eleven, The audio
got corrupted here? Thirty five is

63
00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:27.399
Spaceman? That movie's okay? Thirty
four Grown Ups from twenty ten busyness gets

64
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:30.279
in the way the fun of seeing
friends hang out? Thirty three The Ridiculous

65
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:33.879
six. Vulture writes at this point
every movie from here on out I would

66
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:39.519
recommend to a person. Depending on
the person, watch high. It's essentially

67
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:43.480
if the fourteen from Blazing Saddles was
an entire movie. That's kind of how

68
00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:47.279
I feel about Sandler's films. Thirty
two That's My Boy twenty fourteen, another

69
00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:51.240
movie in which Adam Sandler's character is
stuck in his sense of arrested development because

70
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:56.439
of a traumatic experience. Thirty one
The do Over from twenty sixteen, What

71
00:04:56.560 --> 00:05:00.439
was this? At one point,
Sandler gives one of his own f is

72
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:03.480
a favor, then he brings another
one of his fingers into the action and

73
00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:08.360
gives it a favor. That's all
I need to know about that movie.

74
00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:14.639
Thirty Blended from twenty fourteen, one
of the most and least mature of Sandler's

75
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:17.519
movies, writes Vulture. The maturity
is surrounded by some of the absolute worst

76
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:20.759
jokes in any Adam Sandler movie.
Now, that's a pretty high bar for

77
00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:26.480
horribleness. Multiple scenes have some side
character turning a camera and saying some incredibly

78
00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:30.199
hacky line like this stuff just got
reel. Twenty nine is Murder Mystery from

79
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:34.720
twenty nineteen Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler. That's Netflix enabling Adam Sandler to make

80
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:39.600
terrible films. Twenty eight Murder Mystery
two Again, I blame you Netflix,

81
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:44.759
twenty seven Little Nikki from two thousand
culture rates ahead of a time movie,

82
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:48.120
and not always in a good way. By two thousand, Adam Sandler was

83
00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:51.439
on a roll. Billy Madison began
Happy Gilmore. From there he stepped it

84
00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:55.439
up. Made some more money with
wedding Singer than Bam the water Boy one

85
00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:59.759
hundred and eighty five million dollars worldwide, Big Daddy two hundred and thirty four

86
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:03.120
million, worldwide. What did he
use his new found comedy superstardom to do

87
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:09.279
make Little Nikki twenty six Spanglish from
two thousand and four. I have no

88
00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:13.279
memory whatsoever of this. I've read
the paragraphs. I have no idea what

89
00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:16.279
spanglish is about. Twenty five Hustle, all right, I like that one.

90
00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:20.240
That's the basketball movie twenty four Jack
and Jill. How can you have

91
00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:24.759
Jack and Jill ahead of Hustle?
My kids, who are now growing up,

92
00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:27.920
laughed that I actually banned them from
watching this film. All right,

93
00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:30.480
that's the end of the second tier. Let me take the break here and

94
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:32.639
we'll come back and we'll look at, you know, the good Adam Sailor

95
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:40.199
movies. Continuing with vultures. Look
at the best Adam Sandler movies. We're

96
00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:44.639
up to their tier, which is
called so good. Twenty three, twenty

97
00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:49.240
two and twenty one are the three
Hotel Transylvanias. Twenty is Leo. That's

98
00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:54.639
the recent cartoon right nineteen is you
are so not Invited to my bot mitzvah,

99
00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:58.480
which you know, after extreme casting
calls, they look for the best

100
00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:00.560
actors and actresses in the world old
only all happen to be members of Adam

101
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:05.480
Sandler's family. Eighteen Hubie Halloween,
Netflix, What are you doing to us?

102
00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:13.319
Man? Uh? Seventeen Anger Management
from two thousand and three, Jack

103
00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:16.800
Nicholson and Adam Sandler. You know
on paper that should be okay, I

104
00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:21.720
guess. Sixteen The Meerwitz Stories from
twenty seventeen. Welch writes, will Adam

105
00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:27.040
Sandler went in oscar one day watching
the Meyerwitz Stories, it sure seems possible.

106
00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:31.040
I could see Adam Sandler winning an
Oscar because again, I watch things

107
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:33.920
like Uncut Gems and I'm like,
you can do it, you just choose

108
00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:39.360
not to. And if Netflix is
gonna pay him zillions of dollars for the

109
00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:42.759
crap that somebody's watching, sure,
I don't blame you, Adam Sandler.

110
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:46.879
I really don't. I just hate
your movies. Fifteen Grown Ups two,

111
00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:50.120
fourteen, eight Crazy Nights, thirteen, You Don't Mess with the Zohan,

112
00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:56.879
twelve, Uncut Gems, Oh twelve. Now I like this subheading, in

113
00:07:56.920 --> 00:08:00.160
which he uses all the tools in
his acting belt to condemn the idea of

114
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:03.879
Adam Sandler. Maybe that's why I
love this movie. Eleven Sandy Wexler from

115
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:09.759
twenty seventeen I don't remember what is
that? Sandler plays a manager of Misfit

116
00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:13.959
Toys, loosely based on his real
life manager, Sandy, So the plot

117
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:16.600
is just him going from one of
his friends to the next and laughing in

118
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:20.759
the ridiculous characters they're doing. Adding
the insterstitials featuring more of Sandler's friends Janine

119
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:26.399
Garoffalo, Judd Appatel, Henry Winkler, Lawn Michaels politely roasting Sandy. The

120
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:30.680
result is the sweetest movie of Sandler's
career that sounds like garbage. All right,

121
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:33.039
we're up to the top tier.
According to Vulture. Here at number

122
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:37.279
ten, they have fifty first dates. Again, if you want to save

123
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:41.720
an Adam Sandler movie, you put
Drew Barrymore in it. Nine Happy Gilmore.

124
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:46.159
You guys like it? I don't
eight Funny People. Critics suggests the

125
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:50.000
sand Man was just playing himself.
Seven The Week of I don't remember from

126
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:54.080
twenty eighteen? What was this?
A movie in which Adam Sandler plays a

127
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:58.559
father whose daughter is marrying Chris Rock's
son. I have no memory of this.

128
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:05.360
Six The Boy Adam Sandlor at his
funniest Five Big Daddy Adam Sensitive side

129
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:09.840
breaks through four Billy Madison, Sandler
tries to show his generation how to grow

130
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:13.919
up three Punch Drunk Love. Punch
Drunk Love is special because it's an attempt

131
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:18.720
to actually make an Adam Sandler movie, allowing us to see them through Paul

132
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:22.679
Thomas Anderson's eyes. The elements of
there manchild failing to thrive, a more

133
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:26.799
emotionally mature love interest who helps give
him something to shoot for. Daddy issues

134
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:30.519
a bully. Hell. This film
might have even introduced Sandler to the idea

135
00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:35.399
of building a vacation in Hawaii into
the shooting schedule. All Right, the

136
00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:39.600
second best Adam Sandler movie of all
time the Wedding Singer. All Right,

137
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:41.480
if we're gonna rank Adam Sandler movies, I can't hate on that choice.

138
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:48.000
So what's the number one Adam Sandler
movie of all time? Click? They're

139
00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:52.039
right, the best quote unquote Adam
Sandlor movie. All Right, I'm curious,

140
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:54.279
Walter Wright says, I noted any
intro. This piece is predicated on

141
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:58.720
a fundamental distinction. This is a
list of the best Adam Sandler movies,

142
00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:03.399
not Adam Sandler's best movies. I
see these things are not one and the

143
00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:07.080
same. The latter would suggest a
universal idea of what is good and bad.

144
00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:09.639
I don't tend to believe in such
a thing, and I don't think

145
00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:13.320
it's useful criteria for looking at Adam
Sandler's work. A right, this is

146
00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:16.840
smarter. I like this. The
former is about treating Adam Sandler movie as

147
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:22.399
a genre onto itself. See Oh
Okay, I understand good stuff. You'll

148
00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:26.399
find that on Vulture. Natural Comedy
News for today see Tomorrow
