Adam Sandler’s comedies are not “dumb fun,” maybe that’s why they’re not in critics’ favor. Sandler’s hilarious new film Jack and Jill (in which he portrays both male and female fraternal twins), brings to mind the great line that Ernst Lubitsch’s classic 1946 female plumber comedy Cluny Brown “upset people who didn‘t like to admit they have plumbing.”
In Jack and Jill, Sandler looks at sibling rivalry without that acrid love of dysfunction so popular on TV and Broadway. It’s obvious that Los Angeles ad exec Jack and his hefty, homely, still unmarried sister Jill who visits from New York will mend their rift but the fun is in watching the healing process. The film’s comedy (as in coach potato behavior) shows the depths of kinship–similarities siblings can’t help sharing but learn to accept in themselves. And Sandler’s always protective–as when Jack insults Jill but warns “I can say that because I’m her twin.”

Jack and Jill reveals that Sandler’s best comedies (Grown Ups, Bedtime Stories, I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry and the great Spanglish) are really love stories. He explores affection without the class and gender guilt Judd Apatow hides behind (the distraction scuttled Apatow’s grandiose Funny People). Sandler’s willingness to appear “dumb” is what makes his films so cathartic. He thrives on being unembarrassed–the key to classic comedy going back to the Greeks.
Sandler, of course, always goes back to Jewishness. He may be the least ethnically abashed Jewish film comic outside the Borscht Belt which is Jack and Jill’s natural strength. Jack’s self-consciousness about Jill is rooted in Jewish comics’ proverbial self-deprecation (that’s why the twinship premise). Jill’s large features, gaucheness, petulance and unsophisticated ways are not anti-Jewish traits but the qualities that insecure, social-climbing ethnic groups usually evade.

In Jill drag, Sandler looks like young women you see on the subway; she’s a homely archetype. (Eddie Murphy has mastered this comic pride, especially in The Klumps and Norbit.) Credit Sandler’s subtle feminine caricature–especially in dancing and athleticism–that avoids making Jill clownish like Tyler Perry’s grotesque Madea. Perry’s career is based in parodying ethnic shame then edging into pride. In Jack and Jill Sandler embraces rude, crude and earthy in ways that Tyler Perry wouldn’t dare. Or would he?
Sandler’s real dare is to defend ethnicity–not piously but through comedy that has social and political effect: When Jack’s WASP assistant (Nick Swardson) boasts that he’s almost Jewish because “I’m an atheist,” Jack looks nonplussed. Yet, Sandler isn’t. His comic introspection has a moral core. Appreciation of roots and background is what gives the film’s overlong but uproarious Al Pacino subplot its basis–it’s both crazily romantic and a professional salute. That’s because Sandler knows how our plumbing works.

I loved Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison when I was a kid, they were a big part of my childhood.
He isn't really that bad. Funny people always hits a spot.

>>71210789
Reign over me was a good movie and his acting was surprisingly decent in it
>>71210789
His singing voice is nice.
>>71210789
something nice about adam sandler
>>71210789
I used to think he was kinda funny when I was 12
The Do-over was surprisingly a good movie. I feel like he sank into his old self which is the best.
I legit got some good laughs the first time watching Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison and The Waterboy
I'm honestly not at all that triggered by his existence because I just don't watch any of his movies anymore
>>71212137
Click was a good movie Spanglish is supposed to be good to I heard
>>71212220
Yeah Spanglish is cool
>>71210789
I loved him in Punch Drunk Love
>>71212039
but the question what movies would they watch?
I love Mr. Deeds and Anger Management.
>>71210789
His comedy CDs he made in the early 90s were damn funny
THE'YRE ALL GONNA LAUGH AT YOUUUU
His stand up routine made me laugh
Shakes the Clown was good
>>71212137
i love 50 first dates. its a great movie
>>71212248
Only good post ITT.
>>71210789
Not until he retires and apologizes.
Alternatively, I would accept his suicide as an apology.
Madegood,funny movies in the 90s
>>71210789
Hotel Transylvania 1 was better than I expected. I admit, I actually liked his Dracula and saw some genuine emotion in there. Although that probably says more about the writing and direction than it does him specifically.
something nice about Adam Sandler
>>71212337
people don't remember him for his SNL days or his albums
which is a shame
hes an important figure in comedy history
>>71210789
i heard hes fairly good at basket ball.
>>71210789
He knows how to make a shitload of movie for himself and his friends without trying to hard. I wish I could make money while just hanging out with my bros
>>71210789
Click was great, Zohan was great, 50 first dates was amazing. His new movie with Spade was actually pretty good too.
Sandler needs to start doing serious movies, he'd be really good at it. His humor is so streamlined and worn out that it's basically Family Guy shit now.
>>71210789
he makes others look good
>>71216217
His albums are crap. His SNL days were meh. He was basically a funnier Jimmy Fallon.
at least he isn't jewish
>>71217081
