better than Adam Sandler's last 7 movies

weird isn't it? how stars come and go?

When i think about the countless Adam Sandler movies I watched at the local cinema, i'm reminded of such mind numbingly boring schlock such as:

Little Nicky??
The Longest Yard (this was apparently a remake! why?? )
Mr Deeds (another remake apparently - WHY???)
Waterboy
Big Daddy
Don't Mess With The Zohan

and some others i can't remember.

I make this observation to help prospective viewers understand that "Greats" can produce schlock and "Nobodies" can produce gold. True - this is no Happy Gilmore (still the gold standard for laughs per minute) but it is up there with Role Models and Grandma's Boy.

Please suggest other movies in this league if you share my thinking.

woh woh woh. fired up was a hella good movie, but not better than waterboy or big daddy, ok, at least waterboy. that one is a classic. why compare it to adam sandler???
it was up there w/ those last two you named, fired up is really under rated
