    People call him crap because most of his movies are crap. What's hard to get? Sorry for being such an elitist I guess.

    I have seen them all. His Happy Gilmore/Billy Madison days were his heyday. Waterboy, The Wedding Singer, Big Daddy, Anger Management, all ok movies. Then he messed shit up by starting to do shitty movies like Little Nicky, Zohan, Chuck and Larry, that's my boy, the cobbler, etc.
    He tried to do serious roles like in punch drunk love and Spanglish. I didn't care for those. I did like Reign Over Me.
    His foray into Nexflix is about money instead ok quality. Hes basically said fuck it

    Well it starts from "oh his movies suck," to his "but that one's okay," to "well I liked the one he did a few years ago." I can think of tons of celebs they have mailed it in for years. Robert De Niro for example. But it seems society deems it necessary to have a public "go to" for unfettered criticism. Hey, maybe it's not elitism so much as just as I am trying to figure out why we all gang up on certain people.
    Phil Collins hasn't released much of an album for years, yet he left England the mockery was so bad. Every few years or so there they release a joke article/rumor about him dying....
    In an era of social media and non-transparency in media, I just wonder why they generate critism for a few easy targets and let some "easy on the eyes" or more accepted celebs with good publicists, get by.

    Waterboy is one of my favorite dumb movies. I love that shit. Anger Management, Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore. All good. Say what you will about Chuck and Larry. The scene with Jessica Biel all wet and stripped down to her bra and panties would be worth the price of admission.
