I absolutely love this guy. He makes me happy as ever 💓 every time I even hear his voice. ❤❤❤😊
love the interaction with his mom--he really loves her
I feel like I grew up with this guy! I've watched everything he ever did & continues to do. He's living the dream. Hanging with your besties, cutting up, laughing, & we get to watch it. Legend.
I watched "Reign over me" recently and as someone with PTSD I was really amazed how well Adam Sandler played his part, it honestly brought me to tears how much I saw myself in it
I worked on one of his projects in Boston. He really is down to earth. Every morning, he said "good morning " to everyone, including the extras. Never a bad look, never an air of "I am better than you." The project was Grown Ups. The leading actresses in the movie weren't friendly at all. Adam, however, is humble and respectful to everyone.
Regardless if you like his movies or not, he’s an OG actor with an impressive lineup of films that are classics to many people. It’s gonna be tough when his time comes. Bless his health.

His Performance in " Hustlers " was amazing. A serious role, with times to use his comedic skills, and I think its a Instant Classic. Also showing the world of Basketball from Streetball Hustling to the Behind the scenes of the NBA. He's done comedies for almost every sport, but I hope he does more dramatic roles as he's proved he is more then capable of doing. Many Actors have said that "Comedy is much tougher to do then drama roles/movies " !
Uncut Gems was a rollercoaster ride. Damn masterpiece. This guy can act. He’s made me laugh, cry and get frustrated. He can do it all!

Spanglish is another good example of his acting. Underrated as a serious actor and beautifully rated as a comedy man, keeping us giggling at ourselves and "so stupid its funny" in the mainstream. Gotta respect it all.

What I'm most thankful for with Adam Sandler is how his movies can bring so much joy and laughter in any situation by quoting them. Whether you're hanging out with one person or at a big party, if you start quoting Sandler movies everyone laughs and has a a good time. People who hate his movies outside of "Jack and Jill" and a couple others are just looking for something to be mad at. My litmus test for whether or not someone is cool is for me to start by saying "I saw 2 fat naked bikers off 17 having sex..." and if that person replies with "How am I supposed to CHIP with that going on Doug?" then I know that person is cool. Sandler is THE MAN!
