Last one I saw that I wasn't dragged into was "Anger Management". Last one I saw because I was dragged into it was "Just Go With It".

I've never seen an Adam Sandler movie in the theater. I think Funny People was the last Sandler movie I've seen at all.

Was Click after that? I watched about half of Click in Japanese before giving up on it.

Last in theater: Eight Crazy Nights
Most recent: The Longest Yard (unless Grown Ups came after that)

Anger Management is decent, The Longest Yard almost works in spite of itself (Kevin Nash was great in it), and I'll even say that Bedtime Stories was surprisingly passable.

I think Funny People is the only Sandler movie I saw in theatres. And I saw it twice!

Last in theaters was Funny People, which I actually liked but agree with pretty much everyone that it was very flawed.

Before that it was Click, which was one of those moviegoing experiences I regretted five minutes into the movie. It wasn't even a matinee or bargain night. I paid full price. Dammit.

Funny People was the last movie of his I saw in its entirety, I think. I've seen most of That's My Boy on Starz. I really, really wanted to like that movie for some reason and was hoping it'd be a return to form but it just. was not. good.

Click was a great concept for a movie and sold me on Christopher Walken as a comedic actor (Walken being in that movie was a legit "how the fuck did he get cast in a Sandler movie" moment and he turned out to be my favorite part of it) but that movie should have been so much better with that plot.

To this day, I still don't get why he didn't just use the pause button, do his work then unpause.

Saw The Waterboy in the theater. Fucking Goodfellas compared to his later work.

I got about 25 minutes into Just Go With It before I turned it off and just went online to find the scenes with Aniston and Decker to jerk off to.

Anger Management sounded like a good premise. Especially with Jack involved. While I can accept a bad movie, the ending made it the most unbelievable unforgivable piece of shit I'd ever seen.

I didn't mind Anger Management. Incredible premise especially given the talent involved. Disappointing? Yes, but I still thought it was halfway decent.

I didn't like Click much at all but I don't think it's his worst effort. That would be Mr Deeds.

Just Go with It is terrible but Aniston and Brooklyn Decker more than make up for it. As I said this past summer with Grown Ups 2, Sandler knows how to put hot women in his movies. I still can't get Aly Micahalka out of my mind. It's like he knows they are going to be bad so their inclusion makes them more palatable

I think the Waterboy is when Sandler started to jump the shark and Bid Daddy was probably his last really enjoyable comedy. I haven't liked a lot of his 2000's stuff.

I enjoyed the hell out of his dramas though: Punch Drunk Love, Spanglish (everyone hated it but thought it was decent), Reign Over Me, Funny People (I...guess that counts as a drama?).

I remember Mr. Deeds was the first Sandler movie that I hated with a passion. It has been all the same since.

That was Little Nicky for me. That fucking voice, the laugh, "Popeye's Chicken is the shiznit". So awful. I also had the soundtrack which had a ton of nu-metal.

I like The Longest Yard remake for some reason. Must be the wrestlers.

The last Sandler movie I saw in the theater was Funny People, which I didn't like at all. I haven't seen one since. He has some entertaining movies, but none have been recently.

Last one I saw in a theater was Jack and Jill, opening day 11/11/11. Even the pre-blunt and smuggled in 4Lokos couldn't make me defend that decision.

Well if you like Aly Michalka, apparently she's playing a lesbian on Two and a Half Men now.

I didn't mind the first Grown Ups, but I haven't seen the second one.

I'm surprised she'd be ok with that considering she is (or was) a hardcore evolution-denying Christian.

Yeah I was shocked too, but it seems like she, and her sister AJ, have lightened up a lot over the years. They both were really happy about Aly getting the role on Two and a Half Men. They tweeted about it a lot when the news broke.

Aly almost was enough to get me to watch Hellcats on the CW. Almost. Then they added Tisdale and I was like "Fuck it, I'll buy that series when it's cheap".

The DVD doesn't exist. I was cheated!

Aly Michalka and Ashley Tisdale were the only reasons to watch that show. I just put it on mute and watched the eye candy, but even that wasn't enough to get more than 5 minutes from me.

EDIT: Aly Michalka is getting all this love, but her sister AJ is pretty nice too:

Confession time. The week of Thanksgiving I caught "That's My Boy" on cable and ... I laughed hysterically through the whole movie. Sandler's New England cabbie voice just kills me for some reason. The Vanilla Ice stuff killed me too. Samberg playing the "straight" seemed to work for whatever reason and when he turns in the 2nd and 3rd acts he gets to be funny. Hilarious movie

Oh and Tony Orlando talking about getting his dick sucked

Adam Sandler and Kevin James have "Pixels" up next.

The King of Queens is the President when aliens attack. Aliens think Centipede and Pac Man are our military strategies, so President Blart brings in his childhood friends Sandler, fat guy no one likes and Peter Dinklage.

At least Dink getting paid...

So... 1/3 of an episode of Futurama from a decade ago?
