Reader Feedback on "The Adam Sandler Experience"

I have a crush on Sarah Hepola. That's why it hurts so when we fight like this. I applaud Adam Sandler's incongruous turns in "Punch-Drunk Love" and "Spanglish," but the latter film proved only that he's not ready for serious movie roles -- not to be confused with roles in "serious" movies -- and it didn't do much for Brooks's resume, either. As the weakest performer in a film that is the least of its creator's accomplishments, Sandler should not be discouraged into returning to the likes of "Little Nicky." But nor should he be given the keys to the Hollywood's A-list executive washroom. He's not good enough for you, Sarah.

This review of the career of Adam Sandler was over the top to say the least. It didn't hold me intrest, and its scrutiny was only seconded by its misalligned "I hate bargin bin laughs" manifesto, which stummbled tactlessly thru the subtexts.. it also offended my ho-hum nature, as well as lowest common denominator sense of comedic accountablitiy. It was however extensive and well informed, in terms of dissassociative press jargon. I commend the post adolecent take on the middle american males ability to laugh at itself.

I would like to first of all commend you for writing and for writing for such a great website as Nerve. I am however, moved to tell you that I think your article on Adam Sandler was shallow and trite and insulting. I find it hard to believe you have ever seen any of his movies and never saw the potential for great acting, the boyish charm, and his obvious intelligence shine through in his earlier performances. Also, to claim that such pretty boys as Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise are more attractive than Adam Sandler is not only foolish but also makes it painfully clear you swallow when and what you are told and have a hard time looking looking at a whole person to determine their attractiveness. I apologize for being harsh but perhaps you need to take a good long look at yourself and your cellulite and your imperfect (insert feature here) before you go around throwing insults about other people's 'jowls'.

whatever. i thought this piece was an interesting look at his changing career. i, for one, never saw these roles coming for him when i saw his mediocre fart jokes in college, and he's doing them brilliantly. thanks for writing this.

In true Sandler form, I would like to add a few words: do your balls hang low? do they wobble to and fro? can you tie them in a knot? can you tie them in a bow? I am a woman who has always loved Adam Sandler and his humor. I can only surmise that the very same gravity which has worked so effectively on his jowls, as you found necessary to describe, can only be working to his advantage in many other areas of his body and his life.

This article made the author seems stuck up. Not because she doesn't like Adam Sandler's older movies. She just is so judgemental of someone she doesn't know. How do you know he has had "years of dissapointment"? Maybe he has been doing just fine, and refuses to go for a face lift and botox. This article was lame, which after mulling over other words, was the best way to describe it with my 20 yr old brain.
