      I think the only solution would be a time machine where you become 20 years younger… Have you watched Billy Madison lately? Doesn’t hold up very well for the most part.

      If you’re implying he’s not then you and I are about to have fisticuffs. His comedy is timeless in an innocent sort of way and his dramas are surprisingly good. Critics don’t seem to like him for the most part but I don’t think anyone likes them so who cares.

        timeless

        Are we talking about the same Adam Sandler? Maybe I’m just too old, but none of the 90s movies of his I loved growing up hold up at all imo.

        I’m with you on the drama, but after Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore, there was a major downhill slope with his comedies and once he got to Netflix, it was off a cliff.

          I’m not necessarily saying they are all on the same level but rather that they all, or at least all I’ve seen, capture that same late 90s or early 2000s vibe pretty well. Whether or not that vibe still appeals to you is a different story.
