The continued embarrassing decline of Robert De Niro.

I'm also looking forward to The Irishman, but this is an ironic jab considering the upcoming Safdie Bros. movie that Sandler stars in has a decent chance of being a better NYC-centric crime drama

I was thinking more of his straight-to-Netflix output. Uncut Gems (which does look like it could be pretty good, I'll concede) is going to cinemas first (in the US, at least), so that wasn't really what I was referring to.

Yeah I know what you meant (and I forgive you), just remarking on the irony that Sandler is starring in his first serious role in 17 years and in a NYC mob movie no less.

He was in the Meyerowitz Stories in 2017 which was a more serious role. And was great. I think that was straight to Netflix too as it goes.

It's weird that I hate 99% of Sandler films yet he's possibly one of my favourite actors based purely on Punch Drunk Love and his 2 other serious roles.

you're wrong, Reign Over Me came out in 2007

and Funny People surely counts as a 'serious role' because he plays a depressed and dying person who treats everyone around him in a purely transactional manner

Yep he was great in Funny People too. When he wants to he can be fantastic. What's that about?
