I don’t particularly think he sucks, he’s definitely not good but mostly i think he’s probably the laziest entertainer out there that somehow has had a successful career. It’s sad really. The good movies he’s in are definitely good, but these days i have a hard time going back to them because of his current reputation.

Isn’t that the vast majority of Sandler movies?

I’d recommend Funny People to just about anyone. Apatow has chops, fer sure and Sandler and Rogan have great chemistry. The writing is solid (if somewhat predictable), and I laughed loudly at a few moments.
Regarding Sandler doing shit movies, the way I heard it is that he’s firmly in the “one for them, one for me” camp. @Donald_Petersen may have insights here.
Funny People? Ugh. That film was soooooo loooong. I don’t think I even reached the end of it.
Probably doesn’t help that I don’t like Seth Rogen much more than I do Sandler. Or Judd Apatow. I think that film was onto a loser with me from the start.
I’m just not a fan of any of those bromance frat pack films. J G-L is the only one in that group who I like - but I’m still not going to see The Night Before.
Well, it’s no Happy Gilmore, that’s for sure…
