Every Adam Sandler Movie Ranked By How Punchable Adam Sandler Is

30. Reign Over Me

Sandler's "other" critical favorite, Reign Over Me suffers from a whiplash-inducing blend of over-the-top shenanigans and Beaches-level histrionics. It's hard to tell what kind of movie this wants to be. But hey, at least we get to watch Adam Sandler do his best Bob Dylan impersonation.

Because despite the "everything but the kitchen sink" approach to creating drama - woeful therapy sessions, intense courtroom confrontations, a 9/11-related plot - Sandler's mumbly, scooter-riding loner is the one unwavering positive.

He's more accessible and more sympathetic than any character he's played before or since. And even when things get a little melodramatic, Sandler doesn't seem to get too carried away.

Punch Level: Surprisingly non-existent.
