Yeah, that's probably why Sandler's company is called "Happy Madison". There are many days when I wish he did start his career with "Big Daddy" and "Little Nicky", then his career might have gone the way of Pauly Shore's ... considering they are of equal talent: none!

Ya know what? Sandler's most memorable movies are Billy Madison, and Happy Gilmore. Trying to act? No. He reinvented stupid comedy. Then he started trying to get serious about everything. And it all went downhill. Even as his movies have made more (and then less) money, nothing has ever had the impact of those first couple of movies. Those are the movies that a generation can go back and quote for the rest of their lives. 
Now, they weren't "good" movies... plenty of plot, character, etc. to infinity complaints... but those movies are why we know who Adam Sandler is. If he'd started with... Big Daddy and Little Nicky and all of that crap, he'd have never broken out.

AH CRAP! You had to go and drop Pauley Shore's name didn't you? Now Sandler is going to be seeking him out to star in the next Happy Madison Production!

And of course, since you HAD to post that idea, now it WILL happen!

To each his own, I suppose. One man's trash is another man's treasure. Except in MWG's case, in which all trash is treasure.

Little Nicky, Chuck & Larry, and You Don't Mess With the Zohan were one thing, but please, not Grown-Ups!

Happy Gilmore may not have been a bad movie, but now too many of those who liked it think Sandler's infallible.

Wait, are you defending "Grown-Ups"? Because this is a tough crowd to sell that idea to ... without invading our dreams and planted the idea there.

This movie was stupid...but that was to be expected. The movie had a good idea with the whole family get together thing.

I hope you don't mean little children, not with Sandler and company's blue humor.

No, I'm not defending Grown-Ups. Perhaps I should've put it into context for you more clearly; See, here's the problem: Little Nicky, I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry, and You Don't Mess With the Zohan were all on my Worst-of lists for their respective years. It turns out I'm the ONE person in my high school or college who doesn't like those three movies. Everyone just keeps praising it whenever I show them my Worst-of lists. It turns out that they'll just eat up anything if it stars Adam Sandler. Then comes Grown-Ups, which I MUST expect will get nominated for Worst Picture. It was bad enough my colleagues raved about Zohan, Chuck & Larry, and Nicky, but if they show the same love for Grown-Ups, I'm going to question their integrity. I cannot just stand by and let them eat this one up; I must think of a way to treat the problem!

And I believe moviewizguy thought the family gathering related plot was the only good thing about this film.

I know you guys don't like when I mention awards like the Kids's Choice Awards because they lack credibility.But I should point out Adam Sandler has won "Favorite Actor" and "Favorite Movie" in the past,even if they were PG-13.Kids like him.

Of course kids love him, they are the only people who find him funny. Them, or anyone with an IQ the same as their show size.

I have the same problem GTAHater, my cousin is 18 and he praises anything that the Razzies have nominated in the past (with the exception of Drag Me to Hell), Adam Sandler's 'The Waterboy' is one of them, and bashes anything classic or good (like Psycho (1960) for example). Then again, to quote BHB, 'one man's trash is another man's treasure'.
You see in this filmmaking world there's two types of people my friend. Those with the knowledge of film and those who think they do but really don't.

'with the exception of Drag Me to Hell'
 
By this I mean, it's only thing he's praised that isn't Razzie material

Sounds like your cousin and MWG would get along perfectly!
