    Basically none of them are amazing movies but everyone gets paid.

    Sandler turned out a number of genuine hits. Uncut Gems was a serious work of art. Happy Gilmore was a fun modern take on Caddyshack. 50 First Dates was as legit a RomCom as has ever been produced.

    But he’s also turned out so much slop that it can be easy to lose the wheat amid the chaffe.

      Okay tbh I phrased it a bit differently from what I meant. I did mean that most aren’t amazing, not that none are.

      The slop I think is just there for a regular pay checks and fun with friends, whereas the good movies are to fuel the creative fire.
