Little Nicky (2000)
Nov 10, 2000The Devil's Son Comedy
The Adam Sandler comedy and its pitch to the most vulgar common denominator is an acquired taste. This not very funny effort casts Sandler as The Devil's Son
Adam Sandler
The Hot Chick (2002)
Feb 2, 2003Gender Exchange Comedy
Adam Sandler produced film that is a variant on the bodyswap standard in which Rob Schneider and Rachel McAdams switch bodies. Much crass humour ensues in between a good-naturedly all-inclusive message
Click (2006)
Jun 21, 2006Remote Control to Life Comedy
An Adam Sandler comedy in which he is an ordinary family man who is given a magical remote control that allows him to pause and fast forward his way through the boring bits of his life
Bedtime Stories (2008)
Dec 28, 2008Bedtime Stories Come True Comedy
An unfunny Adam Sandler film in which he plays a guy whose bedtime stories come true. Sandler regards himself as the funniest guy in the room and doesn't even seem to be making an effort.
Zookeeper (2011)
Jul 24, 2011Talking Zoo Animals Offer Romantic Advice Comedy
Animals in a zoo offer schmuck zoo keeper Kevin James romantic advice based on their mating behaviours. The premise runs out of steam soon in, the rest is an irritating smartass CGI talking animals comedy
Hotel Transylvania (2012)
Sep 28, 2012Animation/Hotel for Famous Monsters
A variant on the much more charming Mad Monster Party?, an animated film featuring cute cuddly versions of the Famous Monsters (Dracula, Frankenstein’s monster, wolfman etc) with Adam Sandler voicing Dracula
The Cobbler (2014)
Aug 23, 2017Cobbler Turns Into the Person Whose Shoes He Puts On
Adam Sandler does more acting than usual in the story of a shoemaker who transforms into the wearer whenever he puts on a pair of shoes. A throwaway premise that attracts a surprisingly high-profile cast
Spaceman (2024)
Mar 16, 2024Astronaut Befriends an Alien
Adam Sandler plays a lone astronaut who befriends an alien. This falls somewhere between E.T. and Interstellar
Hotel Transylvania 2 (2015)
Jan 23, 2016Animation/Famous Monsters Comedy
I had little enthusiasm for this, I tend to like my classic monsters serious rather than defanged - these Hotel Transylvania films are so watered down, Dracula doesn't even get to drink blood
Pixels (2015)
Jul 25, 2015Alien Invaders Bring Classic Videogames to Life
This has a certain cuteness to its premise – of seeing a bunch of classic videogames brought to life. Beyond that, Pixels is a one gimmick film that suffers from two people whose films I hate – the perpetually banal Chris Columbus and the irritatingly smug presence of Adam Sandler
Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation (2018)
Nov 25, 2018Animation/Famous Monsters Comedy
I'm not a fan of the Hotel Transylvania films and their reduction of the Famous Monsters to slapstick yocks. This is exactly the same as the preceding films, no better, no worse and with only minute plotting difference
