well jim carrey has a new movie coming out with Steve carrel soon.

I dont know, i rather like both guys as entertainers still and will go see their movies, but I dont really look for a lot in a movie. I go there to relax and enjoy and not really think whats wrong with this film. so I cant say I havent enjoyed any of their films.

... also for shame for forgetting jim carrey in 23.

I'm also kinda surprised neither one mentioned their previous works before film, with carrey's In Living Color and Sandler's Saturday Night Live fame.

I don't think Adam Sandler was supposed to be a normal person in Punch Drunk Love. The whole point was that he was socially awkward and WEIRD. I must say though, that's the only Adam Sandler movie I've ever seen that I liked

 

[Hitchmeister]

For anybody who didn't like either of those choices, might I suggest Robin Williams as an alternate. On one hand he seems to have mostly transitioned to drama, but personally I have a hard time distinguishing between dramatic roles that don't quite work and comedy bits that aren't funny in his work lately.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Kyle, how can you NOT mention Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind during Carry drama bit! Yeah I'm in more with Sandler despite I love Little Nicky (that film prove Jim Carrey can act in a non comedy role).

 

[Azex]

You both got it wrong for once....the winner (loser) is actually steve martin. what an unfunny piece of shit

 

[Robot Number V]

First of all, someone really should have mentioned Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Secondly, yeah. Carrey was definitely the right choice. And thirdly, I also would accepted Robin Williams.

 

[Casual Shinji]

The whole point of Punch Drunk Love was to show what an Adam Sandler character (loud and violent) would be like in real life. It would be a person with major issues.

Also, shame on you geeks for not mentioning Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. A movie where Jim Carry plays a shy guy, and does so brilliantly.

I have to give it to Adam Sandler. Seriously, Jack and Jill was soooo sad. Not only was it terrible to see Adam Sandler be so terrible...but Al Pacino, too? The last thing I saw with Jim Carrey was I Love You, Philip Morris, which he was pretty damn funny in.

Jim Carry wins this one because, for me at least, I liked That's My Boy.
But I'd choose an obvious one out side of these two options.
Eddie Murphy.
You even used him to compare your choices to, to make them seem even worse, he's that bad.

 

[BagelBear]

@Jameseh riveting stuff man, tell it like it is.

 

[Soxafloppin]

I feel Eddie Murpy eclipses both of these.

Also Reign over me was awesome!

 

[Ferisar]

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

How the HELL

do you not mention that movie when talking about Jim Carey. Adam Sandler didn't have anything even remotely close to that as far as recent and even acceptable to watch.

Seriouslymad.

Yeah, can't agree at all here, which is fine, but man, Adam Sandler was never funny to me.

 

[BagelBear]

@Ferisar it's almost as if they applied no thought to this whatsoever and just slapped together some crap they did in a single take and uploaded it because it was the day they need to upload something.

 

[twaddle]

I actually liked bruce almighty.

 

[hermes]

I would give it to Carrey. His comedy career seems pretty much dead now, but it has more enjoyable movies. Also, he has some pretty interesting drama with Eternal Sunshine, Truman Show and Phillip Morris.

The closest thing Sandler has is Reign Over Me, which is honestly unwatchable. Actually, I am beginning to think he was never funny and we were fooled into him by the SNL marketing.

 

[Hindkjaer]

I like the concept of Jim Carry, and Adam Sandler movies better than most new comedies, where the punchline in every joke is a curseword (Exsample: 'Zack and Miri makes a porn', and 'Ted' (to some extend))..

Steve Carell on the other hand.. Beside 'The Office', that man has not made a single funny movie ever..

 

[SonOfVoorhees]

Well Adam Sandler was never funny.....ever. Jim Carrey has been in funny movies. Steve Carrell is good as a side kick to other comedians.
