He also starred in The Cobbler, a film where Adam Sandler’s sympathetic protagonist tries to rape a woman and then takes his mother out for dinner while pretending to be his own father. He’s starred in films that are grotesque and offensive ( I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry) and films mischaracterised as grotesque and offensive when they’re not ( Reign Over Me). He’s starred in films that no one remembers ( Bedtime Stories? What’s Bedtime Stories?) and films with small passionate cult fan bases who will assure you, whether you ask them or not, that you have to see this film, even though it’s an Adam Sandler film and it got bad reviews, like Little Nicky and Click. He’s starred in some truly great films – period rom-com The Wedding Singer, surrealist rom-com Punch-Drunk Love, showbiz dramedy Funny People – and several films considered among the worst ever made, such as That’s My Boy, a film whose main punchline is the sexual abuse of children, and Jack and Jill, a film whose main punchline is nothing, it’s just Adam Sandler in a dress. Adam Sandler is one of the biggest film stars of the past quarter of a century and no one knows why.
