For some reason I thought this was his last great movie before his career started to go downhill, most of the movie he has released after "Big Daddy" started to go downhill IMO
shareI think his film career has bounced around, but that on average most of his movies are generic comedies that aren't that special.
But his absolute best movie, in my opinion, is Reign Over Me. Following that, I would probably say Big Daddy and 50 First Dates.
The rest of his movies aren't much of anything special, though I haven't seen Punch-Drunk Love, which many people say is good as well.

The Longest Yard (2005) [very good but not as good as the original]
Happy Gilmore (1996) [funny]
Billy Madison (1995) [funny]
Grown ups (2010) [a lot of fun, very enjoyable)
Bedtime Stories (2008) [was ok, kind of sweet but I can't stand Russell Brand]
Just Go with It (2011) [funny, but would that hot of a chick be attracted to him?]
I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry (2007) [ok]
You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008) [ok]
Airheads (1994) [some funny bits but it really was a Brandon Frasier movie]

Jack and Jill (2011) [horrible, sucks]
Grown Ups 2 (2013) [boring and not as fun as the first]
Blended (2014) [boring]
Men, Women & Children (2014) [boring, turned it off]
Going Overboard (1989) [was okay]
The Do-Over (2016) [saw it yesterday it wasn't bad, in the middle it was boring but better than his first Netflix movie]
Bulletproof (1996) [If they were trying to do a Lethal Weapon-eques, buddy cop movie in this cop vs criminal, they failed]
Mr. Deeds (2002) [horrible]
Little Nicky (2000) [horrible]
Funny People (2009) [horrible]
That's My Boy (2012) [horrible]
The Ridiculous 6 (2015) [my vote for the worse movie of 2015]
I get a little tired of his adolescent jokes. Farting, boobs jokes, wetting the bed, etc. He's an adult, 50 years old, he and his friends need to grow up. What I like about Adam movies is they have heart, about family and his relationships with them. I know he was close to his dad, so they pull at my heartstrings. What I don't get is how does he manage to get Academy Award winners and nominees in his movies? Jack Nicholson, Kathy Bates, Nicole Kidman, Al Pacino, etc?
To me the last really good comedy he made was Click, Grown Ups had its moments but it was very over the top. As for Comedy or Dramas, Reign Over Me was fantastic.
Dragonzord! Mastodon! Pterodactyl! Triceratops! Saber Toothed Tiger! Tyrannosaurus!
I really liked Click, got to see some of that hidden acting talent Sandler usually hides.
share50 first dates - Not bad.

Chuck and Larry - Pretty good
You don't mess with a Zohan - Awful
Bedtime Stories - Not bad.
