Adam Sandler is back to his slacker funnyman best in "Happy Gilmore 2", but where does it rank in the top ten Adam Sandler films of all time?
The answer: it doesn't. In fact, with a comparatively low 6.3 rating, "Happy Gilmore 2" doesn't even crack into the star's top ten movies - at least by their critical consensus score on IMDB.
That doesn't stop Sandler riding high on other charts. "Happy Gilmore 2" is currently number one on Netflix. But what about his other Sandler-led films, like "Uncut Gems", "50 First Dates", and "The Wedding Singer"?
