This movie is a departure from the kind of Adam Sandler that we usually see i.e. being a lone father, or pathetic lover, or someone locked up for a very obscure offense. We see an Adam Sandler here in his usual raw comedic self. Here, he plays one bored middle-class family man who wants to skip through the daily sufferings of life and accidentally discovers a so-called universal remote that can make him fast-forward or rewind his life whenever and wherever he wants to, among other things. There was one hilarious scene in this movie when he clicked the remote control of life into slow-mo while a woman with considerable cleavage passes by.

 

I must admit, even if this universal remote thingy is far from happening in real life, I can truly say that this movie makes so much sense, and that there is a very valuable lesson towards the end. You will realize what really matters most in life. It’s definitely a good watch, I’d rate it a 10.

The Wedding Singer is one memorable movie by Adam Sandler because of that immortal acapella song I Wanna Grow Old With You which has since become the anthem of lovers all around the world. The irony is that the song is not a cut from any album intended to be incorporated in a movie; it is one of those songs culled from a movie which becomes cult hits. Adam is so sweet in the scene where he sings the song, he asks the stewardess in a plane to lend her the PA system so he can sing the song to his girlfriend passenger (who is played by romance veteran Drew Barrymore.) Just a note though, I think Sandler sounded too good in this movie that this singing voice may not be purely his. But who cares?

Of all the cheesy movies Adam Sandler has done, this probably tops the list of “most memorable”. oohhhh Words are not enough Here, have a glimpse of the romantic (tear-jerker for hopeless romantics) airplane scene:

The Longest Yard was one of the heartfelt movies that I’ve seen starring Adam Sandler. Adam here is not a slapstick or a romantic comedian, he’s more of like Michael Scofield in Prison Break who extends a helping hand even though he’s confined. Adam Sandler here plays a football player who’s jailed for drunk driving. The reason for being in jail is funny enough but the bulk of the movie is appreciating how a group of inmates rally together as a football team in defeating the prison guards’ team. Also features a very convincing dramatic performance by otherwise ludicrous rapper Nelly. Also features William Ficthner in an equally convincing role as a ruthless guard.

Shot in the beautiful island of Hawaii, 50 First Dates is another one of Adam Sandler’s romantic offerings. It has also become popular because of its reggae theme song Hold Me Now performed by Wayne Wonder. In this movie, Adam Sandler finely explores both worlds of slapstick comedy and romance. Why slapstick comedy? Simply because the plot is ridiculous enough, there has to be something to save it. Adam Sandler’s girlfriend in the movie (played by Drew Barrymore) suffers from short term memory loss every time she wakes up. Yes folks, that’s every single day that she wakes up. That’s what makes all the movie scenes hilarious because Henry Roth(Adam Sandler) has to court Lucy Whitmore(Drew Barrymore) every morning after. But don’t worry, the short term memory loss portrayed in the movie doesn’t exist in real life medical conditions or does it?) hmmmm…. Still, this movie will make every girl on the planet crush and crumble (not literally though). The plot may be silly, but in an imaginary world, this can be viable and super romantic. Imagine a guy wooing a girl everyday of his life? Even I would want to be that girl.

Adam Sandler here takes care of a kid to impress his girlfriend. This would have been one ideal movie for people to view and learn some lessons except it is not. Invectives hurled in this movie border an PG 13 rating and Adam Sandler teaches his adopted kid lots of mischievousness that I pity the kid because I’m pretty sure he will really wind up incarcerated someday. For example, Adam Sandler shows to his adopted kid angrily throwing fries of a customer at a McDonald’s when the joint didn’t serve them breakfast. He also urges his adopted kid to pee at the restaurant’s side door. That certainly is not comedy to me, not even a slapstick one. Regardless of how this movie is, there were still a few touching scenes between Sonny Koufax (Sandler) and the kid. It was still funny sometimes, and proved to be entertaining.
