Reviews Featuring Adam Sandler

Mr Deeds
This film fails to generate more than a few giggles, and it isn’t a patch on the Capra original.

Anger Management
A half-decent comedy that starts off well but collapses about halfway through and fails to recover.

Happy Gilmore
Raucous, funny and entertaining – much better than most would expect.

The Wedding Singer
Some good, funny, light entertainment that’s not just for Sandler fans.

Eight Crazy Nights
One of the worst cartoons ever made. Sandler’s made a few stinkers in his time, but this one out-stinks all of them.

Punch-Drunk Love
An absolute triumph.

50 First Dates
The most pleasantly-surprising film of 2004 so far.

Spanglish
This engrossing, dialogue-driven piece of work features brilliant performances all round – and could just as easily have been titled ‘Lost In Translation’, had Sofia Coppola not gotten there first.

The Longest Yard

Funny People
A heart-warming comedy that does the impossible by successfully mixing death, comedy and Adam Sandler.
