Sandler's most meaningful movie?

Rating: 7/10 (4 July 2006)

Although I enjoyed "Click" I thought that Sandler's movie Spanglish, was arguably the most meaningful as it didn't really contain many comedic elements to it at all. I imagine though some people could argue that "Punch Drunk Love" was perhaps his most dramatic, if not eccentric movie to date. Click is very Capra-esquire in it's "Look at this wonderful life you are missing" type of side effect the remote control has, but the movie retains a bit of the fantasy to it. The supporting cast for this movie though was probably one of the best he has had in his recent movies. The teaming up with the same director that was with him on a couple of his other movies, the Wedding Singer, as well as the Waterboy was not bad for the movie either. Coraci and Sandler work well together. Much better, I think, than when Coraci works without him like in "Around The World in Eighty Days"
