If you’re implying he’s not then you and I are about to have fisticuffs. His comedy is timeless in an innocent sort of way and his dramas are surprisingly good. Critics don’t seem to like him for the most part but I don’t think anyone likes them so who cares.

I’m with you on the drama, but after Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore, there was a major downhill slope with his comedies and once he got to Netflix, it was off a cliff.

  I’m not necessarily saying they are all on the same level but rather that they all, or at least all I’ve seen, capture that same late 90s or early 2000s vibe pretty well. Whether or not that vibe still appeals to you is a different story.

    Sounds like that means you haven’t seen the many horrible movies he’s made since then.

    What’s an example or two? I certainly haven’t seen them all but I’ve seen a fair amount of the ones I know about.

timeless

Are we talking about the same Adam Sandler? Maybe I’m just too old, but none of the 90s movies of his I loved growing up hold up at all imo.

  I think that has more to do with you maturing than the movies aging poorly. When I say timeless I mean they all depict a specific cultural perspective very well. It’s not as common as it once was but it certainly still exists.
