Every Adam Sandler Movie Ranked By How Punchable Adam Sandler Is

Turning the jittery, offensive king of lowbrow humor into a family-friendly moralizer was a long, slow, and frequently painful process. It started with flashes of sweetness in The Wedding Singer and Mr. Deeds, and eventually ramped up to the point that friggin' Disney considered him a viable choice for this Christmas movie.

It's a little disconcerting how deep into PG blandness Sandler allows himself to sink here. It's not like he's actively trying to distance himself from his bad boy roots so much as he's just kinda wallowing in a mid-life crisis.

If it weren't for some well-placed appearances from Guy Pearce, Russell Brand, and Aisha Tyler, Bedtime Stories would have been the most uninteresting live-action Disney film since That Darn Cat.

Punch Level: A wide, lazy haymaker to the temple.
