Some of Adam Sandler’s films have been heavily criticized, but the actor is not too influenced by that.
Veteran actor and comedian Adam Sandler has certainly achieved enormous success with his film career, but he is no stranger to negative reviews. While he may be best known for his comedic work, Sandler’s dramatic roles are among his most acclaimed with such films as Uncut Gemstones and Rush collecting strong reviews. Meanwhile, he also starred in several total duds with his comedy western The Ridiculous 6 sitting with a rare 0% score on Rotten Tomatoes. He appeared in other heavily criticized films such as Jack and Jill, The Do Overand the Adults among other movies.
No actor wants his films to perform poorly with critics, but for Sandler, he doesn’t let negative reviews sway too much. As Sandler explains in a new interview for: AARP, he doesn’t like to see them, but it’s mostly because of the “great” people he recruits to work on his films that he prefers not to be subjected to them. Here’s what he said when asked if negative reviews for his movies ever “sting.”
“Sometimes. Especially because I invite all these wonderful people I care about to make movies with me, and I wish they didn’t have to read s— about whatever we’ve made.”
Adam Sandler doesn’t sweat the bad reviews
When it comes to itself, Sandler isn’t too concerned about that. He cites a lesson he learned from his father as one of the reasons he has learned to overlook the criticism. as the Hubie Halloween star says, the negativity only makes him appreciate it more when there are things in his life to be happy about.
“I don’t get upset. I always remember what my dad said. He was a tough bastard. He went through ups and downs in his life, like not working for a year or two and not telling us. I remember one When something didn’t go right for me. I bombed the stage or didn’t get an audition. I was upset and probably embarrassed. And he said, “Adam, you can’t be happy all the time. People are not always I’m going to like you, you’re going to fail.’ I said, “But I just want to be happy, man. I don’t want all this other bullshit.” He said, ‘You won’t really know you’re happy if you don’t feel those other things.'”
Sandler has several upcoming projects for his fans to look forward to, such as the sequel Murder Mystery 2 along with the movies Spaceman and The Out-Laws. It was also recently announced that he will be appearing in the film with some of his family members So you are not invited to My Bat Mitzvah. Maybe not everyone there is a fan, but Sandler isn’t going anywhere.
