Early Adam Sandler and Will Ferrell films where great but their new stuff is terrible, equally crap!
Pretty much this, Will Ferrell had the cast of Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back in stitches in the outtakes, and he started strong but is really limited in the roles he plays. Both I think could do better in more serious roles (see Punch Drunk Love for Sandler). Current stuff is tripe though.DoubleSix said:
Watch ‘Adam Sandler 100% Fresh’ on Netflix and tell me he’s not talented, original and funny.
Yup, I was surprised too.
No doubt. The problem is, he decided he wanted to make profitable films rather than good ones.Yup, I was surprised too.
Red Letter Media came up with a compelling theory that his films are basically just a massive scam:

Will Ferrell plays different roles that are all slightly different. Whether the film itself is any good or not is a personal choice, but at least Ferrell in Talladega Nights is different to Ferrell in Zoolander for example.
Adam Sandler plays Adam Sandler in every f**king film he's ever in. Sandler plays Sandler in The Wedding Singer, and plays Sandler in 50 First Dates, as well as playing Sandler in Big Daddy.
The man is stealing a living from being in films.

They have both made some fantastic films that are very funny, but often made terrible films to balance them out.
I think rather than choosing the right film, they have just signed up either for the payday or because the script looked good and it hasn't worked out.
They must be doing something right though with a huge amount of films made. They might not be your cup of tea, but are to plenty of others.

I do like a few of Will Ferrel’s movies, particularly The Other Guys and Step Brothers, but I think you have to be in the mood to watch him.
Adam sandler can be very good, but he has also be very crap. Little Nicky is a firm favourite, and I think click is a really good film.
It’s when he does s
te like Jack and Jill that spoil him.
I can’t remember what it’s called but I watched a film he did where he lost his family in 9/11 and I thought it was really well done, a different side to Adam sandler.

Funny People and The Cobbler are very good and show other side to Adam Sandler's acting.
Which Will Ferrel doesn't have, as much as I love The Anchorman, Talladega Nights, Stepbrothers and Blades of Glory, everything since was crap.
Reign over me is also worth watching, as many have said his early stuff was funny but he just plays himself and the joke is worn out.Which Will Ferrel doesn't have, as much as I love The Anchorman, Talladega Nights, Stepbrothers and Blades of Glory, everything since was crap.
Will Ferrell was funny in anchorman and Old school but I think he's overrated.
