Adam Sandler Reportedly Wants To Do More Kids Movies
Adam Sandler and his Happy Madison Productions may have built their entire brand on puerile humor and a guaranteed handful of d ck and fart jokes, but the outfit have never ventured into territory that could be deemed as too raunchy with any sort of regularity.
In fact, the only R-rated Happy Madison effort that Sandler has taken top billing in was 2012’s

Grandma’s Boy,
Strange Wilderness and
Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star, while several of their Netflix ventures have been rated either TV-MA or TV-14, and his more dramatic projects outside of both his own company and comfort zone have largely been R.

The notion that terrible films are often funny for being so inept is certainly applicable in the sci-fi or horror genres. But how can the worst comedies be funny in their failure to be funny? Therein lies the paradox and the reason why bad comedies are usually just plain bad.

Ballistic: Ecks Vs. Sever, which Roger Ebert called “a chaotic mess,” is a prime example. The 2002 action film, starring Antonio Banderas and Lucy Liu, placed first on Rotten Tomatoes’ list of the worst movies of all time.

A character opens a door, and the next cut shows a continuous action as the door opens in the next space with the character s hair and costume identical even if the two shots were filmed months apart. Good movies don t draw attention to their production.
