Why does Sandler keep making this shit? It's not like he isn't capable of doing any better.
-
I'm just waiting for Adam Sandler to drop all the pretense and make Manchild: The Movie.
-
And for those of you who may have doubts about awful this movie will be, take a look at the trailer:
I especially enjoy the voice that Sandler puts on (apparently for the whole movie, too). Is it an attempt to distract the audience from the actual material?
-
I liked him in Reign Over Me.
-
Reminds me of this:

Though to be fair, Nicolas Cage turned down multiple roles, including Aragorn in LotR and Neo in The Matrix.
-
My wife outright refuses to watching anything with Nicholas Cage in it. She hates him for some reason.
-
Cage isn't a bad actor, but he really needs to get a better agent.

He's fucking everywhere. That's his only problem.
Even in roles that don't suit him at all.
-
People are often very confused when I tell them Nicolas Cage is my favourite actor.

The better question is why do people keep paying money to see this shit?

I don't like Adam Sandler or Nicolas Cage.

As The Devil, source of horror, I want to apologize for Adam Sandler. I don't know what happened. He just... Got out of hand.

You didn't intend this? It seems like something right up your alley.

-
I disliked Cage in Face/Off, Bangkok Dangerous, Con Air, Ghost Rider, and Next. I did like him in Matchstick Men and The Family Man. Clearly adding a male identifier into the movie title balances his performance.
Also, Adam Sandler movie's suggest he has a very limited skill set. The voice and character he makes himself into are almost always the same. Of course, I had a similar theory about Jim Carey which was proved wrong by the Truman Show.

I watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind the other week and he was amazing in that, too.
-
The only Nicolas Cage movie I really liked was Raising Arizona.
-
Have you seen Wild at Heart, Leaving Las Vegas, Adaptation and Werner Herzog's Bad Lieutenant? Cage is brilliant in all of them.
And yes, Raising Arizona is a fantastic film.
-
No, I haven't seen any of those. I'm not that into movies (obviously).

Ah right. Forgot about that one.

Robin Williams is another actor who's occasional serious roles are often far superior to the comic drek that they have been otherwise reduced to.

Indeed. For some reason, he almost always sucks in movies.

Williams is a good actor that chooses crap movies far too often.
Also, don't you mean 'whose'?

Sandler did well in Spanglish and Reign Over Me.

The Number 23, as well. The movie wasn't as great as the last two mentioned, but he definitely was able to do a more dramatic role well.

I saw neither of those. Can I also assume they are worth watching?
-
Are you guys saying you prefer a dramatic role versus a tired old comedy schtick? Get outta town!
I love Jim Carrey tho.

Spanglish handles its dramatic side fairly well, but it falls flat when it comes to the comedy. So it depends on what you're looking for.
I haven't seen Reign Over Me, but I heard it was pretty good.
-
Reign Over Me is terribly depressing. If you don't mind that, it's actually really good.
-

I didn't particularly care for Sandler's comedy schtick before it got tired out.

The user percentage would scare me if I knew that most people who saw it wanted to see it.
I just hope that number is small.

This whole post is strange.
Everyone should know that a muscly man cooking is a sure fire way to a woman's... love.
-
i think my good woman will disagree with the muscly part, or maybe she says that to make my skinny ass feel better?

It could be that "Happy Madison" might be biased in determining their actors' pay.

Consumers.

The next Adam Sandler movie should just be called "Train Wreck" and it would feature him dying in a train wreck over and over again, kinda like that one movie Source Code except he just dies. Big laughs.

Meh. He hasn't made a movie worth watching in a long time, but I still love Adam Sandler because of his movies that I remember from my childhood.

Half in the Bag Episode 57: Grown Ups 2 (http://#ws)
So Grown Ups 2 has been released and has earned a pile of cash in its opening weekend. When will the American public get tired of these movies, if ever?
-
Probably not. Which makes me sad. :(
-
I don't even watch them when they're on TV.
-
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/grown_ups_2/ (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/grown_ups_2/)
While it's certainly the movie event of the year for filmgoers passionate about deer piss humor, Grown Ups 2 will bore, annoy, and disgust audiences of nearly every other persuasion.
These reviews are hilarious.
-
I think at this stage he's trying to make the worst movie he can, while still achieving box office success.

Their jack and Jill review was good. They didn't spend 40 minutes slagging it, but actually looked at why Sandler made it.
