Sandler

Sandler became a household name with such beloved ’90s comedies as “Billy Madison,” “Happy Gilmore,” “The Waterboy” and “Big Daddy.” But in recent years, he’s impressed with more serious turns, including Noah Baumbach’s “The Meyerowitz Stories,” the Safdie brothers’ “Uncut Gems” and, in 2022, the Netflix basketball film “Hustle,” for which he received critical acclaim and the top slot for movie views on the service for over a week. But by no means is he done with comedy, as this year saw Sandler and Jennifer Aniston return for the sequel to their 2019 Netflix film “Murder Mystery.” His relationship with Netflix grew this year, as he doubled as producer and star alongside his wife and two daughters in “You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah,” and “Leo,” an animated comedy about a 74-year-old lizard who learns he has only a year to live.
