For years, comedy icon Adam Sandler has been seen by audiences and critics as a promising actor...who has made a lot of poor career decisions. Yes, so many are aware of Sandler's tendency to star in bad film after bad film that it has become a running joke for moviegoers. However, even though the once-beloved Sandler has become of many actors who've their way, does this mean none of his films are worth watching? Not according to Rotten Tomatoes.

As many Sandler fans (yes, they do exist) will attest to, Sandler actually has some decent, if not downright great movies under his belt, but they are few and far between. For every Happy Gilmore, there are films like Little Nicky or Grown Ups to drag Sandler right back to square one in of popularity. However, despite his continued critical failure, Sandler has managed to earn a new generation of fans through his Hotel Transylvania animated franchise. And, let's not forget his turn to dramatic movies, including Punch-Drunk Love and Funny People, which show us just what kind of actor Sandler can truly be if he just lets go of his usual attempts at humor.

So, to commemorate Sandler's long film career (that doesn't seem to be slowing down just yet), we're looking at the best and worst of it, according to Rotten Tomatoes' critical scores. Please note that we'll only be including films where Sandler was one of the top-billed stars, so don't expect to see any films where he served as producer only.

Without further ado, let's take a look at The 20 Worst Adam Sandler Movies According To Rotten Tomatoes (And The 10 Best).

Worst: The Longest Yard (31%)

How did Burt Reynolds go from Golden Globe consideration to a Razzie nomination for a remake of said film? Apparently by giving his role to Adam Sandler.

The original 1974 sports comedy starred Reynolds as an imprisoned NFL quarterback who puts together a prisoners' football team to play against the guards. Winning a Golden Globe for Best Comedy, the film garnered positive reviews and became one of the highest-grossing films of the year, unlike its 2005 remake. With Reynolds instead coaching the team, this leaves Sandler, Chris Rock, Nelly (yes, that Nelly), and an assortment of real-life pro-athletes to carry the rest of the film. But, as Rotten Tomatoes states, it lacks "the edginess of the original."

Worst: Sandy Wexler (27%)

The first (and definitely not the last) of Sandler's Netflix films on this list is 2017's Sandy Wexler, which features Sandler and his signature annoying voice (you know the one) as a not-so-successful 90s talent agent who stumbles upon a golden-voiced singer, played by Oscar-and-Grammy-winning actress/singer Jennifer Hudson.

Besides wasting her time, the film will do the same for fans, as it runs an unfortunate 131 minutes. And, with more unnecessary celebrity cameos than we bothered to count, what could've been a clever satire of 90s talent and Sandler's real-life manager Sandy Wernick (whom Wexler was based on) ends up instead as another Sandler film worth skipping.

Best: 50 First Dates (45%)

Take away Adam Sandler's penchant for crude humor and audiences will actually find some sweet stories among his films. One example is 2004's 50 First Dates, which sees Sandler as a veterinarian courting an amnesiac woman (played by Drew Barrymore). Because of her inability to make new memories, she forgets about him after each day and must be reintroduced the following date.

While this may sound a bit tragic, don't worry. This is not the Adam Sandler equivalent of The Notebook. In fact, the only thing fans should worry about (besides the aforementioned crude humor) is trying to stomach Rob Schneider's "portrayal" of a native Hawaiian, one of the worst caricatures ever shown on film.

Worst: The Week Of (27%)

Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, the cigar-smoking canine puppet that first appeared on Late Night with Conan O'Brien and has since popped up on various programs through the years? Well, the guy behind him made his directorial debut with an Adam Sandler Netflix film, and it was anything but a "Triumph."

2018's The Week Of co-stars Sandler and Chris Rock as two fathers overseeing the marriage of their children while clashing with each other over their differences. If this sounds unoriginal and uninspired, it's because it is. Rock even appears to be phoning in his performance (or, as Richard Roeper put it, he "reads his lines as if he’s hoping there won’t be another take").

Worst: Bedtime Stories (25%)

Some actors do better with certain genres. And, while we're not saying Adam Sandler usually does great in his immature comedies (which is a big point of this list), he's turned in better performances than his family film debut.

Co-produced with Walt Disney Pictures, 2008's Bedtime Stories sees Sandler as a hotel maintenance man baby-sitting his sister's kids and keeping them entertained with imaginative (at least, on this movie's ) stories. However, he soon discovers that whatever events happen in the stories come true in real life.

Unfortunately, while this idea may have sounded fun on paper, it instead turned out forgettable and dull.

Best: Spanglish (53%)

Director James L. Brooks won a Best Picture Oscar for his 1983 mother-daughter comedy-drama  of Endearment. A little over 30 years later, Brooks crafted another great film in the genre with Adam Sandler. Without relying on Happy Madison Productions' antics, Brooks instead crafted a thoughtful story of a Mexican mother working as a nanny for Sandler's family to her daughter. As the two families begin to discover each others' issues, unexpected love blooms and an important lesson of self-identity begins to form.

While it's far from Brooks' best film, it definitely surprised moviegoers with great performances from Sandler, Paz Vega, and Cloris Leachman.

Worst: Little Nicky (22%)

If not for Battlefield Earth, 2000's Little Nicky might've been dubbed the worst film of the year in of the Razzie Awards, as it was nominated for five.

The plot sees the only good child (Sandler) of the Dark Lord himself (Harvey Kietel) coming to Earth to stop his two evil brothers from ruling the world. Along the way, he must deal with falling in love, one of the worst instances of product placement in film history, and multiple celebrity cameos (some even playing characters from Sandler's other films). Plus, Sandler's character ranks among his most annoying.

There's a reason Mystery Science Theater 3000 host Michael J. Nelson called it the worst comedy ever.

Worst: Mr. Deeds (22%)

Loosely remaking the 1936 Gary Cooper-starring Best Picture nominee Mr. Deeds Goes to Town? isn't impossible, but it definitely shouldn't have been done by Little Nicky and Sandy Wexler director Steven Brill. Nevertheless, this happened in 2002, and starred Adam Sandler in place of Cooper as Longfellow Deeds, a man who inherits a multi-billion dollar empire from his late uncle.

Co-starring Winona Ryder as a tabloid reporter and Peter Gallagher as the central antagonist (of course), Mr. Deeds may have been a box-office success, but it was panned by critics and nominated for three Razzies. According to Rotten Tomatoes, "even on its own merits, Mr. Deeds is still indifferently acted and stale."

Best: Hotel Transylvania 2 (55%)

Despite his struggles with live-action comedies, Adam Sandler was able to secure a billion-dollar franchise with the 2012 animated film, Hotel Transylvania. While not on the same levels of Pixar or Dreamworks, the films have proven popular with audiences, and critics eventually started to warm up to them. After the first film earned a mediocre 44 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, the 2015 sequel surprised with an 11 percent increase (rare in animated sequels).

With Sandler returning as the voice of monster hotel manager Count Dracula, the film's already-stellar cast (including Selena Gomez, Andy Samberg, and several Happy Madison regulars) was ed by Mel Brooks as Drac's dad, Vlad, as the vampires welcomed a new member into the family.

Worst: Airheads (21%)

To be fair, this film, led by Brendan Fraser, Steve Buscemi, and Adam Sandler, actually had a relatable and funny plot going for it. A hard rock band trying to make it big is continuously turned down by producers, so they break into the local radio station to get their demo played. When things get out of hand, however, they use water pistols to hold the station "hostage" as police and fans gather outside.

Unfortunately, this set-up doesn't go very far and ends up a disappointment. As Janet Maslin cleverly put it on Rotten Tomatoes, "There should have been enough material here for six sitcoms. Instead, there's not even enough for one movie."
