The Top 5 Adam Sandler Movies According To Rotten Tomatoes Will Surprise You
Happy Gilmore 2 is out and I feel alive again.
There were 62 celebrity cameos in this film, and it was just such a fun ride and provided all the nostalgia to OG Adam Sandler fans. If you’ve already watched Happy Gilmore 2 and want a little more Adam, I got you! Here are Adam Sandler’s top 5 movies ranked highest by Rotten Tomatoes.
1. Hustle (2022)
Taking the number 1 spot, Hustle is a 2022 Netflix film and it has an outstanding 94% on the tomatometer. In the movie, Sandler plays a down-in-the-dumps scout for the NBA. While he’s in Spain, he finds a super talented basketball player that he just has to have back home. Without the team’s approval, he brings the phenomenon back and has to prove to the team that it was the right move.
2. The Meyerowitz Stories (2017)
The number 2 spot is taken by a movie that many haven’t seen, let alone heard of. The Meyerowitz Stories is a 2017 Netflix film starring Adam Sandler, Ben Stiller, and Dustin Hoffman. The film follows a group of siblings that don’t exactly have a close bond as they come together to celebrate the work of their artist father in New York. The tomatometer ranks this with an impressive 92%.
3. Uncut Gems (2019)
Uncut Gems seems to be hit or miss with audiences, but the tomatometer ranks it with a 91%. Uncut Gems is a little different than a goofy Adam Sandler movie, and lays more into a dramatic role. The story is about a jeweller who makes a high-stakes bet that could ruin his whole life. As a forewarning, Uncut Gems does have upwards of 500+ F-Bombs dropped, so you could say it’s a pretty stressful plot.
4. You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah (2023)
The 2023 film, You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah, takes over the number 4 spot with a 91% rating as well. Starring Adam Sandler’s daughters and wife, Sadie, Sunny, and Jackie, the story is about a pair of best friends who dream of having a super epic Bat Mitzvah. Unfortunately for them, middle school drama and the popular kids might upend their dreams of this rite of passage.
5. Punch-Drunk Love
Rounding out the top 5 (excluding stand-up specials) is Punch-Drunk Love with a 79% rating. Punch-Drunk Love is also a little different from what you’d expect from an Adam Sandler movie. It’s about a lonely bathroom supply business owner who lives a relatively mundane life until he falls in love with one of his sister’s friends. Punch-Drunk Love is about finding and falling in love and everything that happens in between.
