I don't think any particular actor's performance particularly stands out in The Royal Tenenbaums, at least not as much as f.ex Bull Murray does in Life Aquatic or Jason Schwartzman in Rushmore. It's a fine film, though.

And, I love The Wedding Singer. None of Sandler's other movies can hold my attention for the full length of the film. Well, Reign Over Me was decent imo, but wasn't a comedy, and I thought Don Cheadle was better than Sandler anyway.

Haven't seen Adaptation.

And I largely dislike Ben Stiller as well, though I am meant to understand I should see the Royal Tenenbaums, but that's more because of Wes Anderson than it is Ben Stiller.
This is what I tried to post, Leaves Of Grass.

Click was the film that turned me off Sandler

Can I add a "Used to be Funny" option to this thread, Tore?

@Rezz He plays a pair of twins in that, does he not? I can live with that. Also, I make it a point to see all of his films, so I've been meaning to get to it anyways.

Yes he plays an educated well spoken one and a ignorant moron. Really pulls it off well. Norton is truly one of the best actors of the last few decades imo. People give him American History X but he has really put out so many more great movies.

If you want a link I can pm you one so you could watch it online.
