    Maybe I just have a bad opinion but I’ve thoroughly enjoyed almost all of his movies. Not every movie needs to be a masterpiece. Sometimes it’s nice to just watch something that’s relatable.

      The classic ones are still good, happy Gilmore, water boy, Billy madison, I mean come on. That’s nostalgic stuff right there.

      I’m probobly more of an art snob than your average person, but I can still consume those movies for sure.

      I’ve never seen uncut gems though. Maybe I’ll give it a shot.

        I’m really nostalgic for Click. Really the only ones I didn’t like were grownups and grownups 2. That’s just because I’m a hipster and can’t enjoy things everyone else likes.

          I really enjoyed Click (as well as most of Sandler’s films) but I’m honestly terrified of rewatching them because I feel like there’s a 50% chance I’ll hate them in the present for (insert really poor taste joke that is either homophobic, transphobic, or ableist). Click especially because I know there is supposedly something rough in it and I’m conflicted on if I want to find my old DVD of the film and possibly ruin the movie.

          That said, I now want to watch Uncut Gems because of this post, so maybe I’m doomed to watch Sandler films.

            I watched click recently and it definitely did NOT hold up for me. It’s just so over the top dramatic that it waded into cringe for me. Sucks because when I was a teen I thought it was absolutely amazing.

        Uncut Gems is a two hour and fifteen minute panic attack imo. Very well written/performed/directed though, it earned its 91 on metacritic
