Also, for comedies, Big Daddy, The Wedding Singer, Happy Gilmore, and the Water Boy are classics.

Leaving out the original, Billy Madison, should be considered some kind of blaspheme.

Chris Farley and Steve Buscemi are so good in their small roles in the film.

And while he wasn’t in it directly, “Grammas Boy” is an absolute gem. Also, let’s not forget Little Nicky, it’s the Shiznu!

Every single character in that movie made me physically angry. Which probably proves your point. It wasn’t anger at Adam, it was anger at the character and his stupid shitty life choices

Uncut Gems is anxiety incarnate. Not everyone’s cup of tea, but undeniably a masterpiece.

I really didn’t enjoy the movie but it was solely for this reason. It made me feel physically sick the entire time. I guess it’s powerful in that regard.

I was just so irritated with the characters that it was difficult to enjoy.

Not a Sandler movie but I preferred Good Time which is the same directors as Uncut Gems. Very similar vibe but less irritating I guess.

I’ve never understood gambling addiction other than as a gambling-version of substance abuse. Uncut Gems brought it into sharp, uncomfortable, focus.

Didn’t he say if he didn’t win an Oscar for uncut gems he’d just double down on his shitty fun movies?

I thought he explained it clearly before?

He basically makes shitty movies so Hollywood can fund vacations for his friends . The filming locations being the vacation spots.

It also keeps his friends working who aren’t in front of the camera. If he can take a vacation and get a solid payday for a bunch of people, why not?

Doesn’t mean they’re good movies. You could still out an honest effort into the movies even if they’re a ploy to help your friends. At least lay off the racist humor. His entire Native American cast walked off set of his western over the jokes in it.
