Lindsay Lohan appears to be doing great

    I think Carrey might have gone overboard with the serious movies and maybe that hurt his cred as "the goofy guy"

    I didn't hate Sandler in Spanglish. I didn't see Reign over Me. I agree that Punch Drunk Love is probably the only instance where he was really good playing against type.

    My favorite Sandler movies are Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore. I did like Wedding Singer and Waterboy as well...

    He's had a couple that without question fall into the guilty pleasure or "so bad they're good" category. I kind of felt that way about "That's My Boy" but that movie benefited from where I saw it, (my hotel room during an exhausting work trip) and my expectations going in (could not have been lower). So when I laughed a few times, it may have seemed better than it actually was...

    The Sandler movie that I was the most disappointed with was "Anger Management" because I thought it should have been great and it was pretty bad. But, it's not his worst movie by any stretch...

    I like 'Happy Gilmore' and 'The Waterboy.' I think they're both funny.
    'The Wedding Singer' seems like much more of a light romantic comedy to me. I usually don't enjoy that genre, but Sandler handles it well in the instance.
    I am also influenced by Drew Barrymore, for whom I have always had a huge actress crush. SAdly, her face is starting to look worked on the past several years, which is disappointing.

    If Carrey's hurt his box office for dumb, goofy roles, I say 'no problem with me.'
    Probably hurts his pay day, but no skin off my ass.

    Clearly you haven't seen Spanglish.

    I have seen it, and it was ridiculous.

    It's hard to tell with Tony sometimes, but I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he was working blue there.

    Yes, Spanglish was ridiculous. I loved it. Can't help it.

    My vagina is a movie critic, too.

    Made by people who are most assuredly not cool.
