I watched an Adam Sandler mini-movie marathon recently covering flicks such as The Waterboy, 50 First Dates, Spanglish and The Longest Yard. And I have to say, Adam Sandler is an actor that will never win an Oscar because the folks at the academy of motion picture arts and sciences do not recognize what a genius he is.
In this day and age where studios worry about having the biggest explosions or the biggest names attached to their latest movies, Sandler goes about his business in the only way he knows how...producing and starring in movies that just seem more human and fun.
He does not have the looks of a typical "A-lister" celebrity. In fact, he looks dorky, looks at the ground when he speaks his lines, and acts like a jerk or retard (or both) in most movies. But his character always reaches out to the audience. We all want to be his friend OR want to be him. Why is he so likeable? Here are my top 3 reasons:
1. He acts like your old college buddy, fun to hang around with, have a beer, watch some sports etc.
2. He doesn't give a f&^% about authority and always does things his way
3. He's a loser that always ends up with the hot girl
What's not to like right?
