The Movie Groundhog Day is rapidly approaching Pulp Fiction and The Matrix as one of the most ripped off modern movies. The end result is more mushy than outrageous comedy, but in and of itself, it isn't a bad date movie. With 50 First Dates, Sandler attempts to soften his image a bit and recapture the chemistry he and Drew Barrymore shared on The Wedding Singer. He always plays the same type of character, an annoyingly loveable man-child prone to outbursts of savage violence. said it best Sandler is the Jerry Lewis of Gen-X.

As it is, Eight Crazy Nights was among the worst things he ever did. If Sandler continued down the piss and vinegar strewn road he was on with Eight Crazy Nights, he'd be unwatchable. It's probably for the best, all things considered. It looks like Matt 'n' Trey from South Park and Keenan Ivory Wayans are our last hope for some vicious comedy. Boy, is there anyone left with a sharp comic edge? Eddie Murphy, the Farrelleys and now Adam Sandler are all getting mushy on us.
