Neither would I. His voice would become a nightmare after the first 30 minutes.

Happy Gilmore is one of the funniest and best movies of all time. The Waterboy and The Wedding Singer are both up ther too. I never really cared much for Billy Madison though.

Yes, it's terrible.

That voice of his just makes me throw up in my mouth a little each time I hear it. It cuts through me like a knife.

As they say in the British parlament. "here...here..."

We have a running joke with my friends. If we see a really, really, really, bad movie........."Atleast it wasn't the Waterboy".

That one was pretty painful, but I don't think anything compares to Billy Madison and Big Daddy. Those movies made me wish I were deaf and blind.

Oy, Schneider.

He just went ballistic over an article written by a Los Angeles film critic, I believe, that essentially tore him down as an untalented hack who has made some of the worst films to ever be screened. The critic couldn't have been more dead on, of course.

I find it hysterical how the good cast members of Saturday Night Live never make it very big, yet hacks like Sandler and Schneider become huge stars. Go figure. I, for one, simply can't wait for the new Deuce Bigelow Male Gigolo flick.

"Oh Behave.........." Mike Meyers did okay. Eddie Murphy, Belushi,.....
But I get your point. The later ones have had alot of trouble going on to better things.

If this is true then it's startling to imagine that he came from the same show as Adams Sandler. Oh the contrast.

SNL has had some pretty mediocre talent in the past ten years, though, and whenever they get someone new who's very talented and funny, they waste them and their careers peter out. Molly Shannon and Jimmy Fallon are hysterical, but they aren't idiots like Adam Sandler, so they won't appeal to the masses as much. Such a shame, but that's life.
