i love clever comedies ...
especially the clash of the sexes comedies from the 30s and 40s .. you'll never find wittier dialogue ... or anything anywhere near as good ever again..
that being said - i cant hate adam sandler..
i just rewatched a pile of his movies with a critical eye - and i find most of them pretty solid and entertaining (until the end where they all seem to die in the big happy resolution brought on by some heart warming speech, etc...)
they all seem to follaw that formula...
but his performance is always solid in my opinion..
i think he'll be like steve martin - his choice in films will improbe and he'll take on more mature subject material .. as was evident in click..
then as he gets old he'll try doing the old schtick again one last time.
(WTF was steve martin thinking when he did the pink panther ??!!)
i think its a path a lot of comedians take .. jim carry is doing it as well...
plus - to be honest - i dont mind goofy comedies now and then .. but i can clearly understand why they would bug other folks ..
