Seven Circles of Sandler

By Dan on Nov 25, 2007 in Blog, Movies, nonsense

Dish Network subscribers received a free preview of hell today as three Adam Sandler movies aired simultaneously.

On a rainy day that afforded no opportunities for outdoor recreation, I regretfully watched approximately 153 seconds of the assault on good taste entitled Little Nicky. For those familiar with the film, answer me this: How was it, on the first day of shooting of this film when Sandler revealed how he would play the lead character, that production was not immediately ceased and the dailies burned? Who financed this abomination and why were they not burned as well?

  1. I concur. “Big Daddy” was worth watching but anything after that with Sandler is horrible.

    I may have commented on this before but I once heard a “comedy” CD Sandler made. It sounded like something that three 13 year olds could come up with in one night after drinking a case of Mountain Dew.

    Incredibly overrated.

  2. I’ve never been a fan of Adam Sandler, either, dating back to his “Saturday Night Live” days.

    He seemed to always play the same character on “SNL.” I will admit that the gay beer commercial was inspired.

  3. Little Nicky is a likely candidate for the worst movie of all time. Although I think Santa With Muscles is probably a little worse.

    I think Sandler has his moments. He can be funny when he’s not doing his goggledy-gook voices and he moves beyond the 13 year old potty humor. He just too often chooses to do irritating, completely senseless stuff that is a lot funnier in his head than it is on film.

  4. I know I face excommunication from the Church of BFS (or, at the very least, intense inquisition), but I enjoyed “Little Nicky.”

    It seemed that Adam Sandler turned over the best material of that film to his supporting actors. Granted, I haven’t seen it again since I saw it in the theaters during college, but I liked it at the time.

    Actually, Sandler’s someone I’ve enjoyed more often than not. “Billy Madison” and “Happy Gilmore” are in regular rotation as background-comedy DVDs during housework. His Aerosmith’s greatest-hits bit on “SNL” was priceless. And he’s wonderful in “Punch-Drunk Love,” one of my favorite modern film romances.

    That said, “I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry” is a strong candidate for the worst movie of 2007, possibly the decade’s 10 worst.

  5. Nick,

    I’m given to wonder what you may have ingested before watching Little Nicky in college. It must have been intensely mind altering. Granted, I only watched 153 seconds of it, but I’m assuming Sandler used the same annoying voice throughout.

    My wife really liked Punch-Drunk Love and insists that I would too, but I just can’t bring myself to watch it.

    Sandler was sometimes funny on Remote Control.

    MB,

    I’ve heard some of Sandler’s CD as well, and you’re comparison is dead on.

    Thanks for commenting,
    Dan

  6. Happy Gilmore is by far his best effort. I found it very funny. How can you NOT laugh your ass off when he and Bob Barker are going at it on the golf course. Absolutley gut busting I think.

    His other stuff, not very good at all.
