His later movies almost exclusively take place in gucci exotic locations.  How many times can that numbskull film in Hawaii ffs?  South Africa?  The French Rivera?  Manhatten?  The Netherlands?  Spain?  Canadian Niagra Falls?  Cabo San Lucas?  Cape Cod?  How many more "vacation" movies (themed or by proxy) can this jackass produce?

His movies seem to only use comedy as an excuse to go on a well funded business vacation, and nothing more.  Just once.  ONCE.  I would like him to do a fucking relatable comedy again.  Do a movie set in Kansas.   That will be a good litmus test of any comedic element he may have.

Pixels was set in DC. It wasn't funny but DC is a shithole full of thugs, crooks and congressmen.

Your argument is invalid.

Did you miss the fact that he also chooses the most beautiful women in the world as his romantic lead as well.  So not only does he get to expense exotic locations, he gets to feel up on Kate Beckinsale and Selma Hayek.

Hey he figured out a way to game the system. Fuck the big studios and their $100 million budgets. He can make a movie for a couple million and even if it's a flop he probably breaks even and gets to spend 3 months in a tropical paridise.

Wouldn't you do the same? I would much rather film in awesome, exotic locations than fucking Kansas. He doesn't need to work. I do like his old movies, you knew they were going to be cheesy but they were still amusing. I've quit watching on several of the latest Sandler movies.

I watched a HORRENDOUS Keanu Reeves movie about a mad scientist who clones his family a while ago at someone's house. It was bad beyond being so bad it's funny,it was just garbage in all ways. All I could figure is that it was a money laundering scheme for the "investors" and Reeves got a trip to Puerto Rico or wherever it was filmed.

Michael Caine’s best quote came when someone asked him about Jaws 3 or 4 or whatever sequel he was in.  He said (and this is probably paraphrased) “I haven’t seen it, and by all accounts it is terrible.  However, I have seen the house it paid for, and it is fantastic.”
