I think he’s like Jim Carrey (with Eternal Sunshine, perhaps a couple of other things) - he showed once or twice that he could do something good (Punch Drunk Love, Funny People, maybe?) - as long as someone else was doing the creative heavy lifting, but has zero inclination to go back and do something like that again, and would rather churn out mindless pap. And as long as idiots keep paying him to do it, why not?
