'Underrated' Adam Sandler comedy to watch on Netflix after Happy Gilmore 2
The long-awaited sequel to Adam Sandler's 1996 comedy sporting film Happy Gilmore was released on Netflix on July 25, but many fans have been quick to praise one of his more 'underrated' films Adam Sandler fans have recommended one of the actor's most 'underrated' comedies well worth watching after the release of Happy Gilmore 2. The long-awaited sequel to the golfing comedy will be released on Netflix today, July 25. The original film, released in 1996, sees Sandler in the titular role as an aspiring - though struggling - hockey player who discovers he's a gifted golfer so enters the PGA Tour in a bid to win a cash prize to save his grandmother's home. Happy has a fiery temper though, which leads to many hilarious outbursts on the green. Adam Sandler fans are delighted to see he's picked up his golfing clubs again, with many keen to enjoy other films from the comedy actor's CV - and Netflix has plenty of options to choose from. There's one film though that's been branded 'underrated', with many film lovers recommending it to Netflix viewers. In a post on Reddit, one person sought recommendations ahead of Happy Gilmore 2's release. They titled their post 'Best Adam Sandler movies!!!' They then elaborated: 'Please let me know your favourite Adam Sandler films I can watch tonight. I watched Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore last night and loved it. 'Any suggestions please even if I've seen them not going to put a long list on here, just tell me your favourites so I can maybe put them on my list'. The recommendations flooded the comments section, with many people keen to suggest the 2006 comedy fantasy film, Click. It tells the story of workaholic Michael Newman, played by Sandler, who's keen to get ahead and succeed in his career. When Christopher Walken's Morty gives him a universal remote control that allows him to control his life by pausing, rewinding and fast-forwarding moments, he initially believes he's hit the jackpot and can 'skip' all the things he doesn't want to partake in. The remote soon begins overriding his desires though, and he finds himself missing out on many significant moments in his family's life. The film wasn't well received by critics though it did earn an Academy Award nomination for Best Hair and Make-up due to the effective time-jumping transformations portrayed on screen. One Reddit user commented: 'Click is such an underrated movie.' Another said: 'Click, such a fun and enjoyable movie that leaves you sobbing like a baby after it's over'. A third said: 'Click. 2006 was different.' While a fourth declared: 'Click is a superb movie'. Someone else shared a string of recommendations, writing: 'Spanglish. 50 first dates. Uncut Gems. Click. (Almost forgot this masterpiece)'. Another person said: 'Little Nicky and Click are ones I feel I don't see/hear recommended enough. Oh! And also Spanglish'. And another commented: 'Any of his movies where he's actually acting, rather than mugging [for] the camera: Click, Uncut Gems, 50 First Dates, Spanglish all come to mind.' Lots of other fans were keen to praise the 2019 crime thriller, Uncut Gems, which saw Sandler step away from his usual 'funny man' persona entirely. One fan said: 'Uncut Gems - a masterpiece of paranoia and anxiety.' Another commented: 'He plays a very unlikeable character and his decision making is driving you insane lol, but it's such an amazing movie really'. A third agreed: 'This. Incredible movie and performance.' Many others also praised 1998's The Wedding Singer and 2004's 50 First Dates, both of which saw Adam Sandler opposite Drew Barrymore.

Singer Nezza explains why she sang US National Anthem in Spanish at Dodgers game; says team objected
Amid the ongoing protests across the country over the weekend and continued frustrations in Los Angeles over US Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids, one singer decided to take a stand with her performance at a Dodgers game. Nezza, whose full name is Vanessa Hernández, performed the song Saturday. She said she was first planning on singing the US National Anthem in Spanglish, but, with the ongoing immigration raids, she decided to do the song in Spanish only. She says a team employee told her not to. That didn't deter her, and she performed the song in Spanish anyway. 'I didn't really see an issue with it and I wanted people to know that I'm with them and I'm standing by them,' Nezza told CNN on Tuesday. An unidentified person, who Nezza says is a Dodgers employee, can be heard on a video saying to the singer, 'We are going to do the song in English today, so I'm not sure if that wasn't relayed.' That video, which Nezza shared on TikTok, now has over 12 million views. About two weeks before the game, Nezza said that she and her team sent an email to the Dodgers team asking to sing the National Anthem in both languages. 'As everything started to unfold and we got closer to the day, the raids – like everything, it was like a couple days before that – I was like, actually, I'm going to do it fully in Spanish,' Nezza said. In response, Nezza said, the Dodgers sent a PDF file that went through the song guidelines, but they never said no to her request. In the email to the team, Nezza said her managers included the history of the song and why she felt it was important to sing that version. The version of the song is titled 'El Pendón Estrellado' and was written by Clotilde Arias after the Division of Cultural Cooperation of the Department of State asked for submissions for translations of the 'Star Spangled Banner' in 1945 in Spanish and Portuguese, according to the Smithsonian. It was all part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's 'Good Neighbor Policy' toward Latin America. Following her performance, the Dodgers employee – who she will not name – called Nezza's manager almost immediately and told them to never call or email them again, and that their client was not welcome back, according to the singer. The Dodgers have not responded to any of CNN's questions, but said in a statement that there were 'no consequences or hard feelings' regarding Nezza's performance. Nezza said she hasn't been contacted by the team and doesn't plan on attending the stadium again. 'I don't feel welcome to come back,' she said. Her parents are immigrants from Colombia and the Dominican Republic, who Nezza says became US citizens when she was younger. Her parents are 'overjoyed' with her performance, the singer said. Nezza added that many of the team's fans are Latino, saying, 'The lyrics are the same, I was still singing that I'm a proud American.' Her performance took place the same day that demonstrators filled streets across the country for the 'No Kings' protest and as frustrations in Los Angeles continued because of ICE raids that took place within the past few weeks. While the team hasn't outwardly spoken on the ongoing frustrations of the ongoing immigration crackdowns ICE raids that have been happening in the city, star player Dodgers player Kike Hernández, a native of Puerto Rico, showed his support for Los Angeles in an Instagram post. 'I am saddened and infuriated by what's happening in our country and our city,' Hernández said in part. 'Los Angeles and Dodger fans have welcomed me, supported me and shown me nothing but kindness and love.' 'This is my second home. And I cannot stand to see our community being violated, profiled, abused and ripped apart,' He added. 'ALL people deserve to be treated with respect, dignity and human rights.'
