Adam Sandler: funny or not?

[brunswickite]

want to get a general consensus around here, I was listening to his CD (They're all going to laugh at you) and it was not funny at all.

waht do you guys think? funny or not?

He can be VERY funny, but sometimes he's not.

 

[rudeguy]

his movies are far better than his stand up act

 

All depends on which context he is taken in.

[bradruth]

Very rarely funny.

 

[Acanthus]

His CDs aren't too hot, but his movies are hilarious for the most part.

Depends on the age group.
I loved his CD 4-5 years ago, thought it was the funniest thing in the world (The Peeper).
His movies are alright, but he always seems to play basically the same character.

i hate that voice he does... how can anyone find that funny?

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

The only movie of his that I found remotely funny was Happy Gilmore. And it wasn't all that funny anyway.

 

[Kadarin]

Generally, I tend to find him not funny.

Mostly hit and miss. His stuff was funniest when I was a teenager, around fifteen. His movies are all so bloody similar there's little point in watching more than one.

Let's see; Sandler plays a slacker-loser who loses his job/girl. He's surrounded by an assemble cast of odd-ball friends, specifically Allen Covert, Steve Buscemi, and Rob Schneider who encourage him to get it together. In his pursuit of improvement he meets and falls in love with a likeable female lead, often played by Drew Barrymore. Sandler spends much of the movie fighting the "establishment," proving nice guys don't finish last, and the little guy can make a difference, all the while losing his temper. Everything wraps up neatly in 90 minutes.

Good review.

I always feel he limits himself. His talent level is above the rolls he plays.
