That is the thing, isn't it? Adam Sandler in particular can be a really good actor, a talented song writer and even a pretty good singer.President Bagel said:
But he goes for the brows so low they might as well be pubes. So, his talent is wasted.
It really is quite a shame.
what's with Happy Madison these days? giving your friends work is one thing, but don't ruin your reputation to do so. in fairness, i thought Grown Ups was really well done, dealing with the characters in a way that felt genuine, even kevin james, so i know there is talent to be utilized.
Really?President Bagel said:
Ok, I'd grant you Sandler in some of his earlier movies, though that might just be nostalgia for back when I was much less mature than (at least I want to believe) I am now.
But, Kevin James? I've never seen a single thing he's been attached to that was remotely humorous. If all of his works were instantly purged from existence, nothing of value would be lost.
Those two examples you gave, in terms of this movie's comedy, made me laugh at their stupidity more than their suppose humor...
Other than that, those trailers wasted <link=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_uDcCZDrxg>a pretty good song if you asked me...

That's worse than many infamously bad movies like Catwoman. I'm so shocked. I'm even more shocked seeing all the reviews of it being so hilarious to read. They seem just short of "this film gave me cancer of the soul" or "I no longer have reason to live when such filth sees the light of day"
But with such awful reviews and no recommendations to watch...I feel compelled to watch it now, even if I'm getting the impression this isn't a "so awful, it's entertaining" kind of film.

This comes with a BIG citation needed, but I remember hearing somewhere that the reason that Adam Sandler makes mostly low-brow movies these days is because his low-brow films which are poorly received do better at the box-office than his 'better' stuff. And its a shame, because when Adam Sandler is good, he's really good.Roofstone said:

WORSE than Meet the Spartans?! Now that's bad...
Anyway, do you... need a hug Marter?
I don't think a hug fixes something that makes people think civilization is in decline and makes them feel they wasted so much time and money that they come off as depressed. It is a terrible day to be a film critic. I'm not saying what would work, but Pitch Perfect 2 definitely wouldn't hurt the situation. Booze too.NinjaDeathSlap said:
The problem is that he tried pulling a Tom Hanks and tried doing more serious roles (see: punch drunk love and spanglish) but they bombed financially (I like them and I know a few people that do as well). So he figured people only like his comedy roles. Yes the moviegoing public is responsible for this and J &J.Roofstone said:
In the movie's defense, "Fatty falls down" is about 99% of Kevin James' jokes, so this movie is pretty much perfect for him.
It's been six years since hte first Paul Blart movie?
I thought it was waaaaaayy less than that.

I'll agree, that's most of his movie schtick, but King of Queens was basically Everybody Loves Raymond, with guest stars Jerry Stiller and Lou Ferrigno. While I still remember a few jabs at his waistline, they did mix it up a little. Then again, that might have had more to do with the episodes focused on the supporting cast... it's been a while.Ihateregistering1 said:
