But yeah, his schtick is wearing thin.
Yes to Joe Dirt, and it's on Hulu right now 👍

Cant laugh at Sandler at all and dont like the way he talks, its babyish... but then I used to find Jerry Lewis hilarious when I was young but watched some of his stuff on youtube last night and although he worked hard at what he was doing I found it irritating and unfunny... and its not the time.......I still watch.. Abbot and Costello and wee Lou is funny still... they got pipped at the post back in the 50s by Dean and Jerrys films sadly.... Abbot and Lou were great together.and funnily Lou helped Dean become a star..

I like him in Paul Thomas Anderson's Punch-Drunk Love (2002). Also liked The Wedding Singer (1998) and Happy Gilmore (1996).

I didn't used to like Sandler but lately we've been enjoying some of his movies. Schneider...never did care much for.

They make stupid movies, although Schneider was hilarious as a Korean preacher in 'I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry'. It was a short scene that he wrote, which ended up to be the funniest moment of the entire movie. Look it up on you tube, you'll bust out laughing.

As a standup comedian, Rob Schneider is hilarious..!! I think he's a talented comedy writer. I watched him live when he came to DC a few years ago - he invited Dick Gregory on stage at the end of his show for a short chat. Both his standup show and his mini-chat with Dick Gregory were laugh out loud funny. His Netflix stand up show was also funny.

Adam Sandler, meh!

I like Adam Sandler in serious movies, which a lot of posters have commented on. I don't think anyone's mentioned Reign Over Me with Don Cheadle (who is always great).

The water boy was a classic comedy and I will always love them together. I still tear up a little while watching Big Daddy.
