When I saw this movie in theaters I really thought it was the worst movie I had ever seen. The first one was actually pretty entertaining and a fun little flick. The more time has gone on, I kinda have grown to enjoy some of the dumb humor in the second one.

Grown Ups 2 is garbage, like most Sandler movies post 2005 or so.

Bedtime Stories is a solid kids movie.
Click is decent, but a little dark.
Funny People was all dark and no funny.
That’s my Boy is underrated and probably his best movie of the decade.
Just go with it is a dumb, but watchable rom com
Blended is formulaic, but a very enjoyable rom com as well. Sandler and Berrymore just have perfect chemistry on camera.
Pretty much everything else was so bad they’re not even worth mentioning.

All of these posts chronicling Sandler’s terrible filmography, and people can put caveats on it and make excuses all they want, his movies have been terrible. But, all these mentions of his terrible movies, and not one mention of Jack and Jill? I imagine pouring bleach into your eyes is a more enjoyable experience than watching that movie.

Jack and Jill is the only Sandler movie I couldn't sit down and watch right now. He has so many good movies early on that I can laugh at his shitty ones recently. I am not looking for a high quality, cleverly written comedy when I go to Sandler anymore. I know going in that it will be dumb, it will be directed for children and I will laugh at the stupid childish jokes.

I didn’t realize how many Sandler movies I haven’t seen until I opened this thread.

I don't care how many "bad" movies he makes. He gave us Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison, The Wedding Singer and Big Daddy. All films I'll love forever.

Not to mention a wide selection of very good movies. We all know why he makes these movies.

And of course, Billy Madison gave us one of the great movie monologues of all time...

I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

And I thank him for it.

Paulina Gretzky is also in it

Grown Ups and Grown Ups 2 is Adam Sandler and his friends taking a vacation...not just in the movie but real life.

Oh and on the side, lets shoot a movie.
