Ah! You were doing SO well until that..... Cannot ****ing stand Adam Sandler. Worse than Jack Black in the annoyance stakes

For me, Black is worse. He was like **** in a field during the mid 90s-2000s and not funny once. Sandler stuck to films, but Jack was trying everything, tv, film, music.

I'm guessing I won't be able to persuade you but he's not playing one of his goofy characters like in the Waterboy, just an ordinary bloke.

He was in one called Punchdrunk Love back in the day which was pretty much a straight role and he surprised a few people by being good at it and it not being anything like an 'Adam Sandler film'.

Like I say I know I'm pissing into the wind here but Hustle is so good it's worth a shot.
 
Watched Hustle on Netflix tonight with the wife, great film. It's about basketball which I quite like and she literally couldn't care less about but she watched the full two hours and loved it.

Adam Sandler drama with sharp writing and great natural humour. If you like sports films it's definitely worth your time.

Aye decent film, I don't known owt about basketball. So much so I had no idea half the cast were professional players current or ex.

I like the format of underdog making it sports films so was decent. Sandler seemed like he could be a better serious actor than he will get credit for. All cause his comedy is ****e once you are over 14!

Fair enough. I've never seen a movie where he isn't doing that annoying squeaky nasally voice and making **** jokes. I'll give it a whirl

I always hated Jim Carrey until I watched Man in the Moon.

I don't know much myself, unlike other American sports I don't mind watching it but I couldn't name many players. I think I only recognised Shaq from the film, whether you know them or not though it gave it great authenticity.

Yeah there's none of that mate it's a pretty serious film on the whole. Some funny lines but it's nothing like his early stuff.

Brilliant film, some people get it and some don't. I used to say to my son that Carey is more like Andy Kaufman than Andy Kaufman is :emoticon-0102-bigsm

Haha. There's a documentary about a film crew following him about while making the film that they released 20 years later. I think it was on Netflix. Worth a watch.
