In Funny People, Sandler plays George Simmons, a famous comedy star who looks like he has everything he could want. When he’s diagnosed with an untreatable disease that will kill him in less than a year, George decides to go back to his roots and start performing stand-up at comedy clubs. There, he meets Ira (Seth Rogen) and hires him to be his per...
The Week Of tells the story of Kenny Lustig (Sandler), the father of the bride who doesn’t have as much means as the rich, emotionally stand-offish parents of the man his daughter is going to marry. This film is a slice-of-life movie that James L. Brooks or Robert Altman might’ve done decades ago, but with more jokes, showing the vulnerability Sand...
Nicky (Sandler), the mild-mannered, smallest son of the Devil (Harvey Keitel) must go to New York and find his older, scary brothers before they destroy the city and take their fathers' throne as new rulers of hell.

The comedy...
The Waterboy tells the story of Bobby Boucher, the waterboy for a college football team who, once he discovers his ability for tackling, becomes the team's star. Sandler always has been known to use fits of rage for comedic effect, and this film is the logical ending to that kind of character, as Bobby Boucher is part innocent simpleton, part ragin...
Robbie (Sandler) sings '80s hits at weddings, and Julia (Drew Barrymore) is a waitress at these events. Both are preparing for their wedding. When they meet, it’s obvious that they’re making a mistake marrying other people and should be together. The Wedding Singer is a cute, romantic film where Sandler proved he could be a charismatic, romantic le...

This is Sandler’s man-child masterpiece, full of improvised bits, lough-out-loud moments, memorable appearances by Norm MacDonald, Chris Farley, and Steve Buscemi, ...
Happy Gilmore (Sandler) is a hockey reject with the most powerful drive in golf, so he joins the P.G.A. to make some money and save his grandmother’s house. Unfortunately, the hockey player mentality and taunting don’t go so well with the upper-class mentality of golf. This film is one of Sandler’s best non-Netflix movies and the top-three in his e...
