Adam Sandler is a chubby, short, very average looking guy with little or no appreciable acting ability. As such, he is the perfect candidate to be a mega-star in today's Hollywood. This guy must have been picked on unmercifully as a youngster. How else to explain his obvious insistence that, in every movie he makes, he be cast as a ladies man as well as a tough guy? In every movie of his that I've been unfortunate enough to watch, he has punched out some hapless white guy (always much bigger than him, but never black- kind of like what the super models do in every film that Sandler isn't in). How insecure can you get? Then, Sandler stars in the remake of "The Longest Yard" as an ex-NFL quarterback! Could anything be more ridiculous than that? "Happy Gilmore" was enough of a fantasy, with this dumpy little creep portraying a hockey goon who just can't stop beating everyone (well, at least all white men) up, while somehow hitting a golf ball much farther than any of his fellow human beings.
Sorry to rant, but Adam Sandler exemplifies all that is wrong with modern Hollywood. Virtually every "comedy" that comes out now appears to be geared towards middle school kids, with their potty humor, constant fart jokes and white male "stars" that keep trying to outdo the other in a "Dumb And Dumber" contest. What is really sad about all this is that many supposedly educated grown adults enjoy the "work" of Sandler, Jack Black, Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, etc.
