I actually remember rather liking Click. Didn't make me laugh, but it had heart.

Click is one of my favorites. It's a pretty good story and the acting is pretty good too. Definitely one of Sandlers best.

I wouldn't put him in a truly dramatic role, but the guy can at least bring a character to life, even if that character is just some form of Adam Sandler. With the right role he could be a poor man's Jack Black (I'm thinking Bernie and not Nacho Libre). He definitely worked as an immature man-child in Click, though.

On the commentary track to Serenity, I remember Joss Whedon saying something to the effect that comedians can make for good dramatic actors, since comedic timing is even harder to nail down than dramatic timing. Granted, Joss Whedon is a glorified B-movie director, so grain of salt and all that, but he's not entirely wrong.

Well, Koyaanisqatsi was bordering on brilliant. I loved the hidden, debatable imagery.

If I have to watch a Sandler film, I'm going with Punch-Drunk Love. Didn't love it as much as most but I mean you can't go wrong with a PTA film.

Sandler was actually good in a dramatic role once: Punch Drunk Love.

Yeah Sandler can handle dramatic roles well. There was a 9/11 related film that I recall him pretty damn good in.

Edit: It was Reign Over Me.

I think I've only ever seen about two minutes of that movie, but I always assumed it was like the first "ADAM SANDLER" Adam Sandler movie ever, and was just the prototype for all of his subsequent movies, while being immune from many of the more cringe-worthy Sandler tropes. But it was a different animal altogether?
