Like, it's presented as this wholesome thing where Adam Sandler finds a creative solution to make his relationship with Drew Barrymore work, but if you think about this from her perspective it quickly becomes a hellish nightmare.
Realistically, she isn't truly able to consent to sex. Yet she wakes up every morning in a strangers house with a VHS tape playing where this random guy she does not recall ever meeting explains her situation. He claims to be her husband and the father of her children who she has no memory of ever having. If I were her, I'd very quickly assume I was drugged and kidnapped by some nutcase, then I'd try to flee the house in any way possible.

I think this is his first Paid Vacation movie criteria wise. His other movies are bad but this was in the late peak of his fame, happens in Hawaii and his snl regular pals have had a few years since they could bank a solo mid budget comedy.
His best movie in decades is Uncut Gems, and the fact that it exists makes his other movies inexcusable because now we know he actually can act.
Adam Sandler makes bad movies because bad movies make Adam Sandler Adam Sandler.
Punch-drunk Love is also great!
His character in Punch-Drunk Love is literally the same as the Little Nicky, Happy Gilmore, etc. movies.
Yeah, I think Uncut Gems was the first time I saw him playing an actual character instead of one of his 3 personas.
Sandler nepto company Happy Madison supports like 20-30 friends of Sandler's. So that is sorta cool, most nepto is family nepto.
