While he started out with a thoughtful film, "A Wedding Singer", his career has devolved into a total zero with lots of shouting LOUD, forced humor story lines, and totally unfunny gags, with no story line. Has someone forgot to tell him he's not on television ?
What has happened, was that he was seduced by his headlines, and, apparently, constantly told he was "a talented genius". Another comic succumbs to the Saturday Night Live Curse.
The same career path as John Belushi, but without the drugs, and less interesting.

Adam Sandler with John Belushi! Even "Continental Divide" had its moments. And "Neighbors"? A classic, very under-appreciated. Big, Big John still rules!

  I thought the latter was a sweet quiet movie, a relaxing view of a
  romantic liason..
  Neighbors IS a classic (the way his wife was always siding with them
  was infuriating).

  One word..."Neighbors".
  If you know the background of this project, you know what I'm talking about. if not, read Larry Gelbart's book "Laughing Matters".

    no fair citing a book. What'd it say? All's I know is the leads switched roles on a bet. Same occured in "Confession" with the two Bobs.
