Flipside Movie Emporium

Mr. Sandler hands down - mostly because of Punch-Drunk Love, but in most of his movies (even his worst, which would be a tough competition) his character, while a raging asshole most of the time, also shows a nervous, alienated, sheltered side. Don't get me wrong, that's obviously not the main point of, say, Big Daddy - but I think the passive-agressive, lovably daft fool is a recurring character for him. Kutcher's recurring character is mostly that of an idiot. Also, in Anger Management, who would've thought we'd see the day when Sandler would give a better performance than Jack Nicholson?
