Adam Sandler + Hottest women on Earth = ?!?@#$%?!
 1163  5.9  6.3  Victim: Bridgette Wilson US Gross: $25,588,750 Note: That's where it all started... Adam's Sandler first starring movie. Honestly, I saw it and thought it was a rather average and moronic comedy. if it had been flopped, we may have missed be all those stupid movies... However, it became a success and the blue-print for all the following comedies starring Sandler. Actually, they all could be called "Billy Madison 2", "Billy Madison 3", "Billy Madison 4", ... johanlefourbe's rating:
 
1681 6.3 6.9  Victim: Julie Bowen US Gross: $38,624,000 Note: Honestly, it really looed like "Billy Madison goes golfing" to me... At least, there were a few funny things concerning golf but it was nothing mind-blowing whatsoever. Anyway, it was a big success again for Sandler... johanlefourbe's rating:
268 5.3 5.6  Victim: Kristen Wilson US Gross: $21,162,420 Note: I haven´t seen this on but it seems they tried to combine his moronic style of comedy with an average action/buddy movie. Considering the gross, they seem to have dropped the concept... 
1738 6.4 6.8  Victim: Drew Barrymore US Gross: $80,224,502 Note: Adam Sandler continues his winning streak with this rom-com which I personnally found really average. And why on earth does it take place during the 80's ?!? Is it supposed to make the movie funnier ?!? johanlefourbe's rating:
1313 5.7 5.9  Victim: Fairuza Balk US Gross: $161,487,252 Note: I haven´t seen this one but, as you can see, with each movies, he keeps doubling the income whereas if you look at the quality of the concerned pictures, you keep asking yourself why is this guy so popular ?! 
2534 6.1 6.2  Victim: Joey Lauren Adams US Gross: $163,479,795 Note: My wife bought me this just before or after I became a father. It is kind of sweet of her, even though, the movie is just so lame. But I forgive her because she didn´t know it was that bad... johanlefourbe's rating:
 
1342 5.2 5.1   Victims: - Patricia Arquette - Reese Witherspoon (ok, she is not his love interest or whatsoever, she is his mother! But still...) US Gross: $39,442,871 Note: Considering the gross, we can say that this one flopped. Was it the haircut? Did the moviegoers wake up eventually and decided that they won´t tolerate this crap anymore ? I saw this one and it was very very average... johanlefourbe's rating:
1140 6.9 7.3  Victim: Emily Watson US Gross: $17,791,031 Note: I was expecting a lot from this movie. Not because of Sandler but because it was directed by PT Anderson, one of the best directors around nowadays. Honestly, I was kind of disappointed but still it was way better than everything else Adam Sandler did before. It is certainly worth a look and I will certainly give it another shot in some time in the future. The funniest part is that, with this movie, Adam Sandler finally tried something else, something more challenging, more interesting and what was his reward? The movie completely tanked at the box-office... johanlefourbe's rating:
 
1537 5.3 5.7  Victim: Winona Ryder US Gross: $126,203,320 Note: This time, Sandler decided to remake a classic... I have seen both and even though the original is not one of my favorite, it is still a good movie whereas the remake is completely lame and unnecessary. Come on! How could you switch Gary Cooper with Adam Sandler?!? The best part is that it was a success at the box-office... You gotta to be kidding me... johanlefourbe's rating:
2517 6 6.1  Victim: Marisa Tomei US Gross: $133,756,285 Note: A movie with Jack Nicholson is always worth it and that's why I watched it but honestly, it is nothing great... But it didn't stop Sandler's fans and once again, he scored a hit... johanlefourbe's rating:
3716 6.5 6.7  Victim: Drew Barrymore (again...) US Gross: $120,776,832 Note: Honestly, this movie was not bad at all. It is like a romantic version of Memento and I actually enjoyed it. And considering the gross, I wasn't the only one. A nice surprise! johanlefourbe's rating:
1073 5.8 6.5   Victims: - Paz Vega - Téa Leoni US Gross: $42,044,321 Note: Honestly, I didn't like this flick but Adam Sandler was really good in it. And, can you believe it? He was the least obnoxious character. Sandler gave a very good performance and was mercilessly punished by the box-office. johanlefourbe's rating:
1273 5.9 6.2  Victim: Courtney Cox US Gross: $158,119,460 Note: Once again, Sandler remains in his comfort zone... It was not bad but, honestly, I thought it was rather boring (Courtney Cox looked stunning though). Do you think you can switch Burt Reynolds (in his prime) with Adam Sandler without having us noticing?!? But who cares because it was again a big success and made some big bucks... johanlefourbe's rating:
3324 5.9 6.4  Victim: Kate Beckinsale US Gross: $137,340,146 Note: Seriously, the premise was actually pretty good but the execution was just so lame... It is a very forgettable movie but it didn't stop Adam Sandler in his winning streak... johanlefourbe's rating:
769 7 7.5   Victims: - Saffron Burrows - Liv Tyler (ok, she is not his love interest or whatsoever, she is his shrink! But still...) US Gross: $19,661,987 Note: Like other comic actors (like Robin Williams or Jim Carrey), Adam Sandler had to do a dramatic part and he actually pulled it off. This is his best movie and he is very good in it. And guess what ? It tanked at the box-office... johanlefourbe's rating:
 
1283 5.7 6  Victim: Jessica Biel US Gross: $119,684,970 Note: What a lame premise and what a lame movie.... I have nothing to add here. And check the gross... I mean loads and loads of people actually paid some expansive theater tickets to see this crap?!? I saw it for free on TV but still felt ripped off... johanlefourbe's rating:
1119 4.8 5.5  Victim: Emmanuelle Chriqui US Gross: $100,018,837 Note: Since this movie was written by Judd Apatow, I thought I should give it a shot. Eventually, on one hand, the whole thing really had some potential but, on the other hand, Sandler's character was completely obnoxious and the jokes were just terrible throughout the whole thing. However, what I think doesn't really matter because it was again a success. johanlefourbe's rating:
695 5.9 6    Victims: - Keri Russell - Teresa Palmer - Courtney Cox (again...ok, she is not his love interest or whatsoever, she is his sister! But still...) US Gross: $109,993,847 Note: Honestly, it wasn't that bad. It is an harmless and innocent familly flick and if you check the gross, it seems that Adam Sandler is now unstoppable... johanlefourbe's rating:
952 5.8 6.5  Victim: Leslie Mann US Gross: $51,855,045 Note: I haven't seen it yet but I heard some good things about it and I will definitely see it in the future. And again, when Sandler tries something interesting/different/whatever, he gets mercilessly punished by the box-office... Such a shame! 
806 5.5 5.8  Victim: Salma Hayek US Gross: $162,001,186 Note: Even though I heard here and there that it was one of the worst movies made in 2010, I don't think it was that bad actually. I mean, it was nothing great and pretty average but I though the whole thing was rather good-hearted and harmless. But it doesn't matter at all what I think because Adam Sandler here is back in his comfort zone and again, makes a chuck load of money... johanlefourbe's rating:
813 6.1 6.3       (What? One pick was enough? maybe...) Victims: - Nicole Kidman (ok, she is not his love interest or whatsoever but still) - Jennifer Anniston - Minka Kelly - Brooklyn Decker US Gross: $103,028,109 Note: The premise was lame, even the title was lame... It was still a success again anyway! To be honest, pretty much like 'Grown Ups', it was not as bad as I thought it would be. The whole thing was still pretty lame but Sandler had done worse and there were a (very) few funny bits. johanlefourbe's rating:
292 4.1 3.4  Victim: Katie Holmes US Gross: $74,158,157 Note: Oh my God... This could be the worst movie ever starring Sandler!!! This time, he goes all 'Tootsie' on us and it just looks terrible. 
183 5.1 5.5   Victims: - Susan Sarandon - Eva Amurri Martino US Gross: $27,810,794 Note: It looks pretty bad but according to PvtCaboose91, it is actually 'Astonishingly hilarious' but I have my doubts... Anyhow, it seems to be a huge flop again. What's going on, Adam?!? |

As someone who saw Funny People, I'd say you're not missing much. It's a decent film for the first hour & 15-30 minutes or so and then completely falls apart into crap. You've been warned!
But you're right with this list, it is strange with his appeal.
I also thought of another movie where Ben Stiller hooked up with Jennifer Aniston, he doesn't fit either... :)
And I lol'd at the "Victim" feature xD
I'm always rather WTF?!ish about him playing with all those hot women, too, though. I really dislike him to be honest. *erm*
I'm also interested in watching Punch-Drunk Love and Reign Over Me.
Now, don't think I'm fan of the guy, because I'm not. But I've watched that he gets a lot of crap here on Listal, so there had to be said some upside about him (which the giraffe points out here, I think). Can the answer to the hatred feeling to him be just that he does it successful and not because he is an poorly actor? I'm mean come on. He's not the worst actor out there!
I know I'm gonna be wripped to pieces by saying this, but it needed to be said!
My point is that he always does the same thing (which you may like or not) and gets loads of cash, nice chicks but when he tries something else, he is never rewarded. Thus this list is also a critic to the whole system which doesn't reward creativity at all, in my point of view.
...and indeed, 50 first dates was not bad at all and I said so in the list.
Kevin James was the Victim :D
(Always noticed this in Sandler movies. But I really like him. Nice list)
@almozay666 Engraçado :D (LOL)
He makes me laugh so hard!!!
For me he's the BEST comedy actor
Great list
