For me it’s The Rock and Chris Pratt.

Guardians of the Galaxy was great but I just wish he would stop playing starlord in every other role he’s in!

      IMO, he has been playing the same over-grown man-child of a character in every movie for 20 years (with exceptions).

      Also Happy Madison studios wrote Dana Carvey a blank check to make one of the worst movies ever made and that was the last nail in the coffin for his acting career.

      it was the same for me about Sandler until I saw Uncut Gems, finally he showed that he can act.

        The reason he’s good in Uncut Gems (and Punch Drunk Love) is that there is something genuinely frightening in how unhinged he seems when he is acting.

        He can act but that movie was beyond stupid. I’m convinced the only reason it did well with critics is exactly what you said - they were surprised he could actually act.

          It did so well because it was incredibly accurate. Its fantastically written too, which has nothing to do with Sandler.
