Adam Sandler Movies

I make a point of seeing every Adam Sander production on opening weekend. Not only do I think all of the Happy Madison movies are funny, clever and actually heart warming.  I love the fact that he creates jobs for his friends, writes most of them, and has been nothing but great in the few times I've met him.

That being said I get a little upset that sometimes people roll their eyes at my enthusiasm for his work. It takes an incredible amount of talent and work ethic to create over 20 years of successful Film, TV and Stand up Comedy.  Most people will give him a fair share of credit, but will slam his so called     "immaturity" the first chance they get.   But I really don't see anything immature about being yourself, creating your own projects and making a ton of money in the process.  And the best thing about it is that his movies are still great.  "That's My Boy" is hilarious. One of my favorite things to do is to see a comedy in a packed movie theater and laugh with a full crowd.  And that happens in everyone of his films.  Call me old fashioned but I love that shit. Or just call me old. (I turn 35 on July 7th)

Sandler, always Happy, .... coincidence?

I came across this article that I think also sides with me on this. (I'm pretty sure it does, the Author uses a lot of big words.)

But the one thing that stood out to most was this quote.

"Hating Sandler gives people the delusion of sophistication; thinking they actually have standards, they pretend to disdain vulgarity."


I couldn't agree more.
I think anyone that doesn't keep up on Sandler's movies are seriously missing out. They are laugh out loud funny and always have a good message. Maybe I'm just being extra sensitive because I'm about to start filming my next comedy short "The Jizzmaster part 2" and the eye-rolls are already heading my way.   Don't get me wrong, the movie is totally ridiculous and there is no reason in the universe for the first one to have been made, let alone a sequel.  A movie about a guy who drinks sperm  definitely doesn't appeal to a mass audience.  It grosses everyone out. 


But don't worry, soon enough Lena Dunham will make something similar and it will be called genius.  She can accept her Emmy award on behalf of the Sandler fans.  And at that same awards show I'll be a seat filler and she can sit on my face.


*I have no idea why I brought Lena Dunham into this. It's late. I should go to bed. The "sit on my face" part doesn't even make sense. But I'm keeping it.  "That's My Boy" is now in theaters, and "Jizzmaster 2" will be lucky if it plays on someone's laptop.
