Style and influences
In a 2019 interview for 60 Minutes, CBS News correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi noted that Sandler "usually plays a fish-out-of-water character who prevails in the end."
Sandler's films frequently star his friends, including his fellow SNL alumni.
Personal life
Sandler is a member of the Republican Party.[2] He performed at the 2004 Republican National Convention and donated US$2,100 to Rudy Giuliani's presidential campaign during the 2008 Republican Party presidential primaries.[3] However, he is known to refrain from public political discourse;[4] in 2016, a spokeswoman told The Wall Street Journal that Sandler dislikes discussing politics.[2] In 2019, Taryn Ryder of Yahoo! News wrote that a source close to Sandler told her that they did not know his political positions.[4]
Media image
Despite his considerable box office success, Sandler's comedy films are generally held in low regard among
Sandler's comedies are not without their supporters. Podcaster and stand-up comedian Joe Rogan called Sandler's work "ridiculously underrated", finding many of his films, such as The Waterboy and I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry, "hilarious". Rogan feels that Sandler's critics do not understand his absurdist humor.
Sandler has said that poor reviews "[don't] hurt me anymore. I think it hurt me 20 years ago. It got me 20 years ago. I was—kinda shell-shocked like, 'What happened? They say I suck?' I thought I was good at this." Sandler grew to not care what critics think of his films, saying that "I like them, that's the good news."[5] In a January 2020 speech at the New York Film Critics Circle, Sandler jokingly called the critics in attendance "mean" and, referencing his acclaimed role in Uncut Gems, said: "I can't thank [the Sadfies] enough for getting critics to say something nice about me for the first time in 30 fucking years."[6]
