Adam Sandler is one of those comedic actors who is often loved or hated. With his own particular brand of humor, he's created hilarious films that have stood the test of time, along with critical flops that no one remembers (and for good reason).

Though he now seems to be on the upswing, with widely acclaimed releases such as 'Uncut Gems' (2019) and the Oscar-nominated animated film ‘Leo’ (2023), his film career reads like a ratings rollercoaster. Most recently, his dramatic turn in Noah Baumbach’s ‘Jay Kelly’ (2025) received an 8.5-minute standing ovation at its Venice Film Festival premiere.

Inspired by critical ratings from Rotten Tomatoes, in this gallery click on to find out which of his films are comedy classics, and which ones we're better off forgetting.
