Released: May 23, 2014. Directed by: Frank Coraci. Starring: Adam Sandler, Drew Barrymore, Wendi McLendon-Covey. Runtime: 117 min. Adam Sandler and co bring us a rom-com that's heavy on the romance, light on the comedy. Six or seven good laughs throughout the feature is no impressive feat, but is okay for Sandler's current streak, considering [...]
Released: February 16, 1996. Directed by: Dennis Dugan. Starring: Adam Sandler, Christopher McDonald, Julie Bowen. Runtime: 92 min. "Happy Gilmore" is a silly sports comedy, which is its purpose; but God is it funny.

Released: April 11, 2003. Directed by: Peter Segal. Starring: Adam Sandler, Jack Nicholson, Marisa Tomei. Runtime: 106 min.

Released: June 29, 2006. Director: Frank Coraci. Starring: Adam Sandler, Kate Beckinsale, Christopher Walken. Runtime: 107 min.

These are a few Sandler movies that are being reviewed from memory... Released: December 25, 2008. Director: Adam Shankman. Stars: Adam Sandler, Keri Russell, Guy Pearce. Runtime: 99 min. "Bedtime Stories" is imaginative and it's one of Sandler's more family-friendly efforts, but it's lame, boring and forgettable. Score: 38/100 Released: June 28, 2002. Director: [...]
Released: November 10, 2000. Directed by: Steven Brill. Starring: Adam Sandler, Patricia Arquette, Rhys Ifans. Runtime: 90 min. I'm not sure why I give Dennis Dugan a hard time as a director. It isn't that he's a poor director; it's just that the movies he directs are usually brought down its poor writing. But Steven [...]
Released: March 13, 1992. Directed by: Bobcat Goldthwait. Starring: Bobcat Goldthwait, Julie Brown, Blake Clark. Runtime: 87 min. Dark comedies are a difficult kind-of comedy to master.
