Every Adam Sandler Movie Ranked By How Punchable Adam Sandler Is
15. The Wedding Singer
You might want to, as Sandler himself intones, strangle him with a microphone wire during his onstage meltdown at the end of The Wedding Singer's first act. But this version of him - the disheveled, whiny, pot-stirrer - is largely absent from the bulk of this sweet, but not-altogether-gentle romantic comedy.
It's pretty much the ideal Adam Sandler movie. It has moments of depth, scenes of gut-busting violence, and best of all, five minutes of drunken Steve Buscemi.
And it doesn't hurt that his character, Robbie Hart, is one of the most charmingly down-on-his-luck average joes Sandler has ever played. Which is saying a lot, considering that's pretty much the only kind of character he plays.
Punch Level: A brief buffet of knuckles, but only for a few choice minutes.
