re: Red Letter Media reviews "Jack and Jill" and destroys Adam Sandler's career

Still, Smith hasn't been in much over the past few years. He's content with either guaranteed huge blockbusters or good films in general. He has enough dignity to not make anything within the ballpark of Grown Ups for instance.

Because he never has. Sandler has always made movies about jibberish and toilet humor. He still is, he's just tailoring them more for families and kids now. Instead of him being hammered, drooling over the new edition of Drunk Chicks, and fighting penguins, he's a dad with kids who want to get chocolate wasted.

Will Smiff...Sure, he's a good actor and makes some good movies

Link?

Well, his credibility took a hit with me when he openly admits several times that he's never seen a single Sandler film besides Jack and Jill. Sandler's humor is the same now as it used to be, more or less...it's just a little more mature (used loosely) and toned down because now he's making movies for families and kids instead of college kids.

Are you high? If you like sandier films then fine, whatever, but sandier is definitely not "mature" or toned down. He just knows he can fast track these shitty films with no effort or care and he and his goons will reap about 2/3 of the budget. This has been going on for about 8 or 9 years.

bullshite. In Happy Gilmore, he was shouting curse words at a golf ball and calling Bob Barker a bitch. Nowadays, it's jokes like peeing in the pool and getting chocolate wasted. It's definitely toned down, even though it's the same "type" of humor.

bullshite again.

2002 - Mr. Deeds
2003 - Anger Management
2004 - 50 First Dates
2005 - Longest Yard
2006 - Click
2007 - Chuck and Larry
2008 - Zohan
2008 - Bedtime Stories
2010 - Grown Ups
2011 - Just Go With It

Not many of those reek of the same scent as Jack and Jill. Maybe Grown Ups and Zohan. The rest are semi-legit movies, if not better (or at least come off as legit efforts as opposed to just cashing in on some bullshite plot that sounds like it was thrown together by South Park).

So anger management does not fall into that category? Just go back and watch it and actually tell someone you know about this film without them laughing at you.

In fact that entire list just reeks of the same shite, and that stupid baseball nerd movie? Same shite there...sandier may not be in it, but it's a sandier film. Click, zohan? How can anyone watch that stupid shite?

Gilmore/Madison

Waterboy (but this was really the beginning of the end)

And everything after was crap

Because he never has

Because he watches actual films not Sandler "films"

I've never seen Anger Management, but it has legit actors/actresses in it as opposed to Sandler's buddies.

No, it doesn't. Some of those movies are decent. And I'll venture that Click was pretty good. Definitely not in the same "I'm not trying" vein as Jack and Jill seems to be in. Not even close. I'll give you Grown Ups or Zohan though.

You clearly don't like Sandler movies, and that's fine. But to keep categorizing them all as the same is stupid because they're not. You not liking them doesn't = "Sandler's mailing it in." Doing movies in his wheelhouse isn't mailing it in. Jack and Jill seems to be, based on the trailers and the description in the review at the beginning of this thread. I'm smart enough to see the trailers for J&J and realize that it's not a movie that I want to see. So I won't. It's simple really. But why should I care that he made the movie, regardless of if ya'll think he "tried" or not? I dunno, just doesn't make sense to me I guess...like OML and his "conman" shite.

FWIW, I thought it was pretty funny every time the dude on the left talked about something he thought he'd see and did the Sandler girl voice. That was good shite.

Yea, I suppose never seeing one of the guys movies should be a top qualification for ripping his career. Maybe, he should review having sex with an actual live girl next because it doesn't look like he has any experience with that either.

No it's more like havig sex with an extremely obese fat chick. You obviously don't want to try it, and when you finally do you confirm your suspicions that chubbies are fricking terrible.
