Bael422,

Except it’s the opposite. Uncut gems was a terrible movie. I loved almost all of his other movies.

Ciren,

I have honestly always really enjoyed Click and I kid you not, I’ve never been able to stop myself from crying while watching it. It’s so stupid but so good

Liv2themax,

50 First Dates was quality. Ok, well, my future wife and I enjoyed it immensely. Besides, got laid after.

iamericandre,

Funny People is easily one of the best movies he has ever been in. I know reviews tend to be mixed but I think he does a really great job in that one.

Is this a duplicate post from one you submitted 6 hours ago?

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.

sauerkraus,

Grownups and grownups 2. Definitely two of the movies of all time.

Uncut Gems - If anxiety is what you crave.

Good movie.

Happy Gilmore is high art.

It’s all in the hips.

spauldo,

There’s no one my age or older that can help but laugh at seeing Bob Barker kick the crap out of someone.

gbuttersnaps,

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

weariedfae,

I unironically love 50 First Dates. It’s cute.

I thought he explained it clearly before?

He basically makes shitty movies so Hollywood can fund vacations for his friends . The filming locations being the vacation spots.

claymedia,

It also keeps his friends working who aren’t in front of the camera. If he can take a vacation and get a solid payday for a bunch of people, why not?

Duamerthrax,

Doesn’t mean they’re good movies. You could still out an honest effort into the movies even if they’re a ploy to help your friends. At least lay off the racist humor. His entire Native American cast walked off set of his western over the jokes in it.

slipperydippery,

What about Reign over me?

daringdomino3s,

Didn’t he say if he didn’t win an Oscar for uncut gems he’d just double down on his shitty fun movies?

tdawg,

Every single character in that movie made me physically angry. Which probably proves your point. It wasn’t anger at Adam, it was anger at the character and his stupid shitty life choices

CupDock,

Uncut Gems is anxiety incarnate. Not everyone’s cup of tea, but undeniably a masterpiece.

I really didn’t enjoy the movie but it was solely for this reason. It made me feel physically sick the entire time. I guess it’s powerful in that regard.

kvn,

I was just so irritated with the characters that it was difficult to enjoy.

Not a Sandler movie but I preferred Good Time which is the same directors as Uncut Gems. Very similar vibe but less irritating I guess.

nop,

I’ve never understood gambling addiction other than as a gambling-version of substance abuse. Uncut Gems brought it into sharp, uncomfortable, focus.

curious_illusions,

Are we not going to talk about Punch-Drunk love or nah?

ThreeLawsDebugger,

Or Reign Over Me, he was great in that one.

Ghostalmedia,
@Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world avatar

Also, for comedies, Big Daddy, The Wedding Singer, Happy Gilmore, and the Water Boy are classics.

Leaving out the original, Billy Madison, should be considered some kind of blaspheme.

Chris Farley and Steve Buscemi are so good in their small roles in the film.

MementoMori,

Norm Mcdonald too!
