Adam Sandler fans are urging him to continue making serious films like Uncut Gems, and his latest Netflix success, Hustle.
While the 55-year-old has been better known for starring in iconic comedies including Happy Gilmore and Grown Ups, his more recent, serious films have been garnering a lot of attention from fans who think he should continue doing that instead of returning to comedy.
Since the release of Uncut Gems in 2019, and his latest Netflix success, Hustle, fans are urging the 55-year-old actor to continue moving away from comedies.
For decades, he has been best known for playing goofier, more jovial characters.
His latest movie, Hustle — released on Netflix on June 8 — has garnered praise from fans who think he should stick to serious acting from here on out.
"Adam Sandler killed the role on Hustle, that’s impressive from a comedian," one Twitter user penned.
"Never really been a big Adam Sandler fan but I’m beginning to appreciate his more serious roles. Two for two with Uncut Gems and now Hustle," someone wrote.
"Hustle is a true basketball love story, highlighting the sport's infrastructure of found family," they added, while someone else weighed in, calling this Sandler's "Oscars era."
"The 'you love this game, but are you obsessed with it?' speech belongs in the hall of all-time great sports movie speeches," the fan added.
"I’m not always big on sports movies but his performance makes this worth a watch."
