Except it’s the opposite. Uncut gems was a terrible movie. I loved almost all of his other movies.

Maybe I just have a bad opinion but I’ve thoroughly enjoyed almost all of his movies. Not every movie needs to be a masterpiece. Sometimes it’s nice to just watch something that’s relatable.

I unironically love 50 First Dates. It’s cute.

The classic ones are still good, happy Gilmore, water boy, Billy madison, I mean come on. That’s nostalgic stuff right there.

I’m probobly more of an art snob than your average person, but I can still consume those movies for sure.

I’ve never seen uncut gems though. Maybe I’ll give it a shot.

I’m really nostalgic for Click. Really the only ones I didn’t like were grownups and grownups 2. That’s just because I’m a hipster and can’t enjoy things everyone else likes.

I really enjoyed Click (as well as most of Sandler’s films) but I’m honestly terrified of rewatching them because I feel like there’s a 50% chance I’ll hate them in the present for (insert really poor taste joke that is either homophobic, transphobic, or ableist). Click especially because I know there is supposedly something rough in it and I’m conflicted on if I want to find my old DVD of the film and possibly ruin the movie.

That said, I now want to watch Uncut Gems because of this post, so maybe I’m doomed to watch Sandler films.

Grownups and grownups 2. Definitely two of the movies of all time.

Uncut Gems is a two hour and fifteen minute panic attack imo. Very well written/performed/directed though, it earned its 91 on metacritic

Happy Gilmore is high art.

There’s no one my age or older that can help but laugh at seeing Bob Barker kick the crap out of someone.

Uncut Gems - If anxiety is what you crave.

Good movie.

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.

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

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!

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.

50 First Dates was quality. Ok, well, my future wife and I enjoyed it immensely. Besides, got laid after.
