It seems you either love him or hate him - but there's no avoiding him. Adam Sandler has risen to the top, and he has his loyal fans to thank for it.

Sandler grew up in Brooklyn, New York and was born on September 9th, 1966. While this probably doesn't come as a surprise, Adam was the class clown throughout high school. What was surprising is that Adam never realized how useful his sense of humor would be. He got his start in stand-up comedy one night when he got and started performing at a Boston bar he frequently

Sandler began releasing audio tapes of his comedy routines and they were very successful. His first, They're all gonna laugh at you! earned a Grammy nomination and spent over 100 weeks on Billboard charts. Although dismissed by many as tasteless, they were a huge success.
After a series of disappointing big screen roles, Sandler finally had some luck. He co-scripted the movie "Billy Madison" and starred in it as a young man forced to repeat grades 1 through 12 in six months in order to earn his inheritance. The film was widely accepted and did fairly well.
Sandler soon quit SNL in order to concentrate on movies. Happy Gilmore provided the break he needed. A surprise success (due largely to a fight sequence with Bob Barker), the film made people take notice of Adam Sandler. The Wedding Singer proved that Happy Gilmore was not a fluke, and The Waterboy shocked even the last people when it opened to the tune of 39 million dollars in its first weekend.
"Big Daddy" was Adams next big hit. He started making it even before "The Waterboy". The original title was "Guy Gets Kid", but was given a major rewrite by Tim Herlihy to more fit Adam's strengths. To sum it up, the movie is About Adam Sandler becoming an instant Father to a 5 year old. In the long version, it would be: One day, a 5 year old boy shows up on the doorstep of the apartment Sonny (Adam) shares with roommate and friend who is out of the country
Seth Macfarlane had a great life and has had many achievements but still had obstacles like his show being canceled three times, but the ratings for family guy were to high that FOX had to bring this show back every time they canceled it. Before Family Guy Seth was going to start a show named Life of Larry, which was pretty much the same thing as Family Guy, but with different characters, But Life of Larry was later replaced with Family Guy.
The Sandlot is a hysterical movie. From one liners such as, “You’re killin’ me, Smalls!” or, “What’d you say crap face?” to whole scenes.

At this stage, I do not know much about Kevin Harts’ life, besides what he has included in the sets that I’ve watched. Some of the things that I have learned is that he had a troubled childhood due to his father’s life choices. His father was an addict, and had altercations in bars, which Kevin witnessed and made jokes to deal with it. He also has two kids, a boy and a girl, which sometimes are brought up in the standup sets, mostly at the expense of the children. The majority of Kevin’s appeal is centered around his height, which is a commonly referenced joke both by himself, and others, which does not seem to bother him anymore if he is able to make light of it himself. I think that the beginning of Mr. Hart’s life is what led him to be a

For the sake of continuity, I will be using critics reviews from three main sources, IMDB (A website for critic reviews), Rotten Tomatoes (average movie goers reviews) and Metacritic (A combination of both). While None of his films have passed the 7.0 mark on IMDB. The films rank from a chuckle worth picture (6.0-6.4) to a joyless watch (6.0-5.5) and conclude at a car wreck of a motion picture (5.5-3.2).

After a period of indecision on which major to study and dropping out of school for a semester, Denzel worked as a counselor at an overnight summer camp (Camp Sloane YMCA in Lakeville, Connecticut). He participated in a staff talent show for the campers and a colleague suggested he should try acting. Returning to Fordham that fall with a renewed purpose and focus, he enrolled at the Lincoln Center campus to study acting and was given the title roles in both Eugene O'Neill's “The Emperor Jones” and Shakespeare's “Othello”.

Soon Seinfeld's easy-to-relate to humor gave way to regular appearances on "The Tonight Show" and "Late Night with David Letterman." Other more gimmicky comedians failed the test of time, but Seinfeld's steadfast style made his popularity bloom. Despite national exposure, Seinfeld still stayed close to his roots, continuing to play at small venues as well as on television. With jokes like: "They say Tide cleans bloodstains. I say if you've got a T-shirt with bloodstains, then maybe laundry isn't your biggest problem" ("Jerry Seinfeld" 3/7) it's not hard to see why Seinfeld caught on.
Robin Williams was born at St. Luke’s hospital in Chicago, Illinois on July 21, 1951. His
Million Dollar Baby, Clint Eastwood’s latest movie as a director has been getting more and more positive reviews recently and it is even better than Mystic River. At first glance, the film looks like another boxing-movie cliché. However, Eastwood has succeeded in creating a compelling and moving story about the intricate world of human relationships, the price of success and the realization of dreams. The movie explores many different subject matters. Million Dollar Baby is about friendship and respect. It is about love and it is about dreams.
There are several aspects of a film that will make a good comedy. A good comedy needs well-rounded characters, adventure, and a love story. If a film has well-rounded characters the viewer can relate to them in some way. If a film has adventure there is never a dull moment that will lull the viewer to sleep, and it’s packed full of crazy obstacles the characters have to pull through. If there is a love story of some kind, serious or funny, it will keep the viewer interested throughout the entire film, and keep the viewer wondering what is going to happen in the end. When a comedy has these things it will surely be a good comedic film.
