Adam Sandler Joins Team Apatow

Adam Sandler and Seth Rogan are set to costar in a new comedy by writer/director Judd Apatow (The 40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up). Apatow’s wife, Leslie Mann, will also star in the film. No word yet on the plot.

The news makes me a little nervous. I love Happy Gilmore as much as the next girl, but lately I have not been feeling the Adam Sandler love. I have yet to force myself to sit through I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, and I don’t remember the last comedy he was in that I really loved—though I do sit through Spanglish every time I catch it on cable.

Perhaps an Apatow movie is the very thing to cure my Sandler fatigue, since Apatow is my current failsafe comedy standard.

I agree because Adam Sandler has such high standards in my book. Happy Gilmore, Big Daddy, Spanglish...ah! I have such love for those and more. I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry wasn't a big hit but I have not lost faith just yet!

My fav will always be The Waterboy.

He wasn't too bad in the drama Reign Over Me. I'm always surpised when Adam flexes his "acting" muscles...though i did find myself giggling at him everynow and then in that movie. I even liked Spanglish for some odd reason.
