I think we should pay Adam Sandler MORE money.
And the most overpaid actor is...

It's strange how things change. There was a time when I was excited about new Adam Sandler stuff. Now I wouldn't go to see one of his movies if you paid me.

What would you in exchange of money?

Oh there's quite a list, I assure you. *winkety-winkety*
Wow, his movies have made 2.3 BILLION DOLLARS !!??!!
That is quite an achievement for anyone. Not a fan, but dang, that is a LOT of money.
And for all the haters out there thinking they are smarter than he is, I got two things for you : 1) if you are that brilliant, why aren't you making 2.3 billion $$$ worth of movies and 2) don't hate the player, hate the game

There are a couple problems. The first is assuming that there is any talent, or really anything besides poor taste and luck, behind his "success." Luck is just as huge of a factor in film as it is in sports. Second is there are call girls who can wind up with thousands after a night out. That kind of money doesn't change the fact that they're still a prostitute. And third, nobody "thinks" they're smarter than him. Anyone who's had the misfortune to see anything of his know they're smarter.
...Have you seen any of his movies? He is worth just as much hatred as a system that lets the vile filth he puts out flourish.and 2) don't hate the player, hate the game
that is just his domestic take, you can add another 45% to each movie for Overseas markets. Example: Zohan ( a movie I thought was horrid) Total Lifetime Grosses: Domestic: $100,018,837 50.0% + Foreign: $99,917,174 50.0% = Worldwide: $199,936,011. His average budget per movie looks to be about 80 million. his DVD should do as well or better, so, he is racking in the $$$.Wow, his movies have made 2.3 BILLION DOLLARS !!??!!

The obvious answer would be that anyone who is that brilliant could put their talents to better use than by making a fortune off of crappy movies. I don't know that there's much of a correlation between being rich and being smart, or otherwise talented or capable.
I see now; you could make billions of dollars by making movies, you are just too cool to lower yourself to that line of work. Sorry... I didn't understand that before. You could probably out play Lebron James in basketball as well, you just don't like getting sweaty, otherwise, you would be in the NBA I bet.
Or, do you think, that you might just maybe, possibly be a bit sour grapes that he appeals to a LOT of people? I mean for god's sake, bush jr. got elected twice, doesn't that say more about people in this country than Adam Sandler, at least Adam didn't start a war and lie about WMD's.
I think anyone that makes that much product, 2.3+ billion dollars worth, and employs all those people, must be doing something that I and you and others haven't figured out yet. You don't want to respect that, that is your choice, the grapes were probably sour anyways.
