built 657 days ago
Perhaps well aware of the extent of these risks that he was taking with his career, Sandler continued to sustain his popularity with a steady (and reliable) stream of crowd-pleasing star vehicles throughout the early 2000s. 2002's self-produced Sandler vehicle Anger Management (which teamed him up with a maniacal Jack Nicholson); the 2004 effort 50 First Dates, in which he co-starred with fellow Wedding Singer alum Drew Barrymore; and the 2005 remake of Robert Aldrich's The Longest Yard all made box office gold.

With characters like Canteen Boy, Opera Man and Cajun Man, Sandler became a perennial favorite and enjoyed huge success alongside Rob Schneider, Chris Farley and Phil Hartman. In 1993, Sandler released They're All Gonna Laugh at You!, his first step outside of TV that sold record amounts and was even nominated for a Grammy.

Fans want good-natured hilarity from Sandler; they don’t want the versatile Sandler. As a result, he’s not the star he once was. Comic actors are like anyone else, they get tired of the same stuff. But a look at Robin Williams’ career suggests there is wisdom in persevering. Doubtfire or Jakob the Liar?
