A genius idiot? -
who is he anyway ? -
He is a Genius, sometimes. -
Mostly idiot. -
Thought the Hanukah song was great...
-
Yes, I know I misspelled "Hanukkah" right after calling somebody else an idiot...
-
-
He is one of those actors one can feel comfortable toward. He is silly, but genuinely soft-hearted. There is that certain something he pulls you in with, that is hard to put your finger on. He seems very likable and has talent. A genius who portrays a character ... who sometimes does idiotic things. -
I don't like Adam Sandler jokes. You know the kind: They go on and on for several minutes; and you're not sure where the punchline was, but you're sure there was a punchline. -
He bores me. I don't find him funny at all.-
I began to really see him, in the movie "Spanglish," which was a very good story and showed him in a serious light. If you haven't seen it, you might like it as well.

-
he peaked at SNL. but was great in "punch drunk love"-
What's SNL?
-
Saturday Night Live
-
Happy Gilmore ROCKS!@!!
-
OPERA MAN!!! lol
-
-
50 first dates, one of my favorite movies & Click, the first time i have seen him
in a movie with a genuine moral.-
He can be serious when he wants.
Sometimes he can be an idiot, but he has some genius in him.
-
-
My kids like his Night at the Museum and something about mary was a classic-
I am assuming that you were being tongue-in-cheek there, as Adam Sandler was in neither of those movies. But speaking of people that are idiotic geniuses (or at least people who must be doing something right)... -
your right its that other bloke I get them mixed up
-
That's not Adam Sandler, that's Ben Stiller. BTW, they're both Jewish. -
I always get them mixed up the kids could of told me who was who if I asked them
-
-
Interestingly, I think he's great when playing serious roles, i.e., Reign Over Me, and Spanglish.
When he's trying to be funny, I generally think he's an idiot. 50 First Dates would be the exception. -
Never laughed at anything I have seen of his and now avoid his films like the plague -
Yes -
"punch-drunk love" .... a brilliant movie and funny as hell ...but one of those movies that are only funny in retrospect, yet certain scenes stick with you! based on that film alone i would have to say genius. -
Anger Management was hilarious too. lol
-
I like Adam Sandler. he's got a little bit of everything. He can act, he can sing, he can write funny material....
-
Go wash your mouth out with soap young lady!
-
NO!
-
What I don't like about him is the unnecessary vulgarity. He can act and he's funny, and I just don't see what's added by throwing a little walrus vomit into the middle of it.
-
See, now Tiffany, just the mention of walrus vomit made me laugh.
A lot. -
To me he is like a 5 year old showing off, there is no wit to his comedy.
-
But he does Willy the toll booth man.
That has to count for something! -
You need to see a real comedy film, I'm gonna send you a link.
-
-
A genius who portrays himself as an idiot and makes millions in the process.
That is a genius, whether you like his movies or not.
I Love him, He is funny. -
Genius on SNL and humorless since then. I guess that makes him currently an idiot.-
Agreed...to this day I still do not understand why he dod not win a Grammy for "Lunch Ladyland".
-
-
I really liked him until his latest movie..I couldn't get pass the first few minutes with its blatant sexualization of women. I have also heard that the rest of the movie is apparently anti-Arab. -
Here's a question:
If he is an idiot, what does that say about ALL the people who go see his films and enjoy them?
Are we a society full of idiots?
Does that make me an idiot...I guess so...
-
Sylvia, I haven't seen any evidence that YOU'RE an idiot, but as to your broader question, I think it's quite clear that we ARE precisely that.
-
lol ... I knew it
-
I'm with Madame X on this.
-
-
At least he's cute
-
EWWW!
-
-
I don't think anyone has said he was an idiot have they? Obviously you have to be quite astute to do what he has done, but if it is work that will stand up in 50 years time I'm not so sure.
-
He definitely has some talent, but he too often goes for the gross-out instead of trying for something more subtle. Mr. Deeds is an excellent example of that (hubby has made me watch it twice). It could be a very nice movie, if it weren't for the doofy black foot thing. The scene with the butler made me ill.
-
-
sorry I like the dark hair and the smile that is full of trouble
-
Genius who acts like an idiot.
... but there's tons of idiots who tries to act all clever.
I don't like it how people refers to him as the 'Sandman' -
I'd say Genius when you have a few hundred million in the bank even if you are an idiot your a Genius;)
-
A Gendiot! -
-
He's no genius or idiot but a very good actor. I especially liked him in Big Daddy.-
How could I forget?
Good show!
Happy Gilmore is a classic too.
-
-
Boy is there ever a fine line on this one...-
lol
-
-
If he hadn't been in 50 First Dates I'd be saying "imbecile", but a successful one -
better than most comedians... -
What's the line from Spinal Tap?
"There's a fine line between clever and stupid." -
ya really loved the OpEra Man, maybe it was that whole Italiano thing he had going
