Back to page topAs much as I love the good-natured stupidity of "Happy Gilmore" and "Billy Madison," I'm going to throw "Punch-Drunk Love" into the mix. Any takers?

Back to page topI am a fan of “Punch Drunk Love.” I did not like “Spanglish,” and I haven’t seen “Reign Over Me.” But as for comedies, I gotta go with “Happy Gilmore.” The part where they hit that guy on the roof of his house from like a mile away? Priceless.

Back to page topI think the lines were:
"You hit that guy."
"He shouldn't've been standin' there."
"Twenty bucks says you can't do it again."
He hits another guy, who is screaming, "You kids are gonna pay for this!"
"You made a bet. Pay the man."

There is a lot to like in many of Sandler's films. I've seen "Happy Gilmore" multiple times and the Bob Barker clip is priceless. "Billy Madison" was predictable but funny. Loved "Water Boy" and "Anger Management." Not a big fan of "Punch Drunk Love," though.
I just hope he doesn't go all Will Ferrell on us. That would be a total waste!

Back to page topSandler seems to be getting sentimental, though, don't you think (i.e. "Click," "Big Daddy," and "Spanglish")? Not that sentimental is bad, it's just very different that his usual, crass persona.
