Don't read this

While picking on actors, I have to have a go at Adam Sandler. If you have a lot of work to do, if you're stressed or busy in any way, then don't read this post. It's not worth wasting your time reading about this guy.

I have long believed that Adam Sandler is borderline retarded. I can find no other reason for him to behave like he does on screen. It sure as hell is not acting. He sings or talks with a baby voice, looking like a complete idiot, and I don't find it funny. Just embarrasing and stupid. And his comedies are always ridicoulous stories full of juvenile low-brow toilet humor, which of course can be funny sometimes, but never with Adam Sandler. Perhaps he would not irritate me as much if he would stick to making toilet humor movies. But when he attempts to do serious movies with some sorf of message, (like "Spanglish"), he overestimates his talent as an actor.

It's easy to make movies the way Adam does. You just create characters and story without any regard to how far fetched, unrealistic, or silly it is. A typical Adam Sandler script would look like this:

Adam Sandler works at a zoo where he is responsible for the monkeys. He has a very sweet relationship with the monkeys, he teaches them to do tricks, and he sings to them in a high pitch baby voice. He can even communicate with them perfectly in plain english. But when speaking to humans, Adam has a grave speach impedement. One day a sweet girl in a wheelchair, (played by Drew Barrymore), visits the zoo. In a freakish accident, her wheelchair goes out of control (it's electric), and heads for the gorillas den where it hits the curb and she is thrown over the fence into the den. A silverback gorilla charges at her, but Adam arrives and talkes sense into it. Adam has not had much success with the girls prior to meeting the wheelchair girl, mostly because of his grave studdering. But he can relate to the wheelchair girl since she has a peculiar tick. She burps very loud every time she laughs. She also has a grave lisp. The girl runs a gay pet shop, but she is to much in debt and will have to sell her business. Adam though, want's to help her out, and miracolously he is about to inherit a million dollars from his deceased uncle. But his uncle, a rich excentric, has put a condition in his testamente. Adam will only inherit the money if he succeds in beating a kangaroo in a boxing game... It's a very convenient way to write scripts. Anyway, have a look at the clip below with some typical Adam Sandler and I hope you ask yourself why people are laughing at this guy.

Should Mentally challlenged people make movies? Of course they should! But only if they have some sort of talent. Retardation alone is not funny, and should not be enough to become a succesful actor/producer.
