    I don't find him remotely funny. He does this inferior impersonation of Latka from Taxi the whole time

    He admitted recently that his movies are now just an excuse to take all his friends on holiday

    He's fantastic in Rain Over Me and Punch Drunk Love. He's atrocious in everything else.

    Rowan Atkinson retired Mr. Bean as playing him would seem absurd or sad as he aged. Sandler didn't learn this.

    I like Ben Stiller. His Tom Cruise impressions are hilarious.

    Sandler is meh.

    There'll never be any new actors who can match the greats. People like Arnie and Bette Midler were just unreal. Rip to them both.

    interesting point put I think theres a bit more going with Seth MacFarlane but .. Family guy gets a lot of undeserved kudos

    Awful actor who picks awful films.

    But supposed to be very nice. Which should count for something.

    A talented actor who has decided (probably correctly sadly!) that there was more money to be made by starring in trash than by actually using his comedic gifts in more intelligent work. He's far from the only one to do it. Eddie Murphy is another former funnyman who went down that road.

    Stiller made Tropic Thunder and Zoolander, plus his performance in Dodgeball was awesome, so Stiller is capable of greatness if he really tries.
    The best Sandler did was Wedding Singer, which has not aged well.

    Funny People was great. Happy Gilmore was fun too. A lot of people seemed to like Click but I haven't seen it. He does make some awful crap, but he has some good ones in there. It's popular to hate on Sandler's films.. because people see it being done on shows like Family Guy (puke).

    You're naming straight up spoofy cartoonish films in fairness. He's capable of being clown, hardly greatness. He certainly can't act well. He's only got one look.

    I loved the wedding singer, it's a sweet storey and I like the soundtrack.

    Otherwise he can feck off.

    I like sandler. But Stiller can still be a pretty good actor when he wants to be, so he's the better of the two,.

    You're forgetting Blue Steel. And there's Magnum.
    Have you designed the piano key necktie?
