Depends.. For something like Jack and Jill? awful.. Some better than others, but most of time they just hover around the mediocre territory..
Haven't seen any of his newer movies, i remember hearing about him being serious about the quality of his movies.. so they might be better than the earlier ones..

Punch-Drunk Love is a classic, The Meyerowitz Stories is quite good.

Hustle is the only great film he had made in the last 20 years.

Pixels was awful, sorry..

It wasn't good as a movie, but I watched and enjoyed it for all the old arcade game references

Sa(n)dl(er)y,his (mostly his later) Movies are getting bad and bader....

My personal Highlights:
Reign over me !!
Grown Ups (Part 1 !!)

Outside of the Assessment:
Hotel Transylvania (I like it).

Very,very funny and entertaining:
Billy Madison
Mr.Deeds
50 First Dates
Chuck and Larry
You don´t mess with Zohan

Good:
Little Nicky
The Wedding Singer
Bedtime Stories
Pixels
Just go with it
Hubie Halloween


From all the other Movies....honestly I do not remember them very well...so......maybe they weren't that good...

I remember thinking Billy Madison was funny at the time and then actually liking The Wedding Singer, but haven't felt persuaded to watch any Adam Sandler movie in a very long time.

I would say I enjoyed his classic films up in until the very very early 00's. With the Mr. Deeds remake in 2002 probably being the cutoff for his movies being something I enjoyed. Some outliers do exist (I did enjoy Anger Management and Click, despite these being from 2003 and 2006 respectively) But I felt that after 2002 the golden age of his movies and his comedic style fell out of favor due to him wanting to take on more serious/emotional roles rather than be that comedic goofball that did funny movies. Even when he did return to doing some comedic films it really did not hit the same as his classics did.

I actually really liked him in The Green Miles and Mrs. Doubtfire

Adam Sandler films are a slush fund for himself, his former SNL buddies and washed up celebrities. They’re fake movies designed to milk as many sponsors as they can and cost as little as possible.

Well, I guess I was looking at chairs when I was watching Sandler movies. How they made chairs look like movies, I don't know.

There’s a good chance the chairs were made by a Sony subsidiary.

i agree with @Foxi4 i mean in the last 20 years has he released a decent movie ?

if you think he has good movies. you need to watch some movies for real.

He has, several. There's a difference in how the general public perceives Adam Sandler and the cinephiles perceive him, because the former only pay attention to his blockbuster comedies and don't know about his other movies. It also happens with Nicolas Cage or Robert Pattinson until recently.
