For a whole generation and more, Adam Sandler has entertained the world with his gut busting, heart warming comedies, most of which tend to be fun for the whole family. Looking at the spectrum of Hollywood actors as a whole, there doesn't seem to be a force of nature quite as powerful as Mr. Sandler - every couple of years, almost without fail, he's the star of a chart topping, blockbuster hit, and this doesn't seem to be a trend that's likely to stop anytime soon.
Observing the man, a few questions tend to come up: just how does he keep this up; why does he love making the world laugh so much; how much money could he possibly make in one lifetime; what planet is he from, really? We'll stop there to be nice, but we can surely go on.
Though, there wouldn't be much of a point, since we've already gone ahead and came up with a number of questions pertaining to the man's movies. Since you've found your way here, we assume you consider yourself a fan of Sandler's, like millions of others. In that case, you won't mind if we find out for sure, would you? Let's see if you can get 80% or higher on this Adam Sandler movie quiz.

What does he do for a living?
Not so fast - we're not done with that character quite yet. After all, it's important to do him justice, since an icon like that only emerges once every generation. Since you're here, we assume you fancy yourself a real Adam Sandler fanatic, one who know the man's roles like no other.

Let's move on to the next story of this wonderful, Sandler-ific ride. If you're a real Sandler fan, then this face shouldn't come as an unfamiliar site to you. In fact, this man might be one of your favorite Sandler secondary characters, which wouldn't be very hard to believe.

Which of these plot descriptions applies to Billy Madison?
Fans of Adam Sandler movies - and millennials in general, let's be honest - have surely seen Billy Madison, one of the actor's all time classic comedies.

If you're a real fan, you'll be able to pick out the movie's plot description below.
True or False: Bobby Boucher plays football as a linebacker
You'll remember Bobby Boucher as the... special character played by Adam Sandler in The Waterboy. Bobby might not have been the smartest guy on the football field, but none of us can forget those precious moments where he truly shined, all while helping his team of misfits out. This question might be hard for you if you don't know much about football, and doubly so if you haven't seen the movie! Either way you only have two options, so things aren't so bad.
Match this screenshot to the movie
Anyone out there claiming to be a real Adam Sandler fan can't really call themselves that if they don't recognize a Sandler flick instantly from the screenshot - especially when the flick pic pertains to one of Adam's most cherished comedies. Perhaps that might be giving too much information, but regardless - take a look at this screenshot (particularly the secondary character pictured here) and see if you can identify the movie it's from. If you can't, we're not sure why you're here.
What "superpower" does Mr. Deeds have?
As it turns out, Mr. Deeds doesn't only have a huge inheritance to his name. He also has charm, a big heart, good friends and a certain... superpower, for lack of a better term. While it's not the most impressive ability - probably not something that the Justice League would ever call him up for - we still got to see him use it in the movie to great effect. Let's see if you're smart enough to figure this one out.
Which of these is the magical object featured in Click?
Click might not have been Adam Sandler's funniest movie, but the film definitely produced its fair share of laughter. More than that, though, this movie has a much deeper meaning - revolving around using your time wisely and appreciating what's in front of you right now. Anyone who calls themselves a Sandler fanatic will definitely not have let this one slip them by. If you're one of them, then name the magical object featured in the movie Click. Can you do it?
Who's this classic Sandler character?
This classic Sandler character made a big splash on screen when he was featured in one of the man's late 90s classics. It's important that you get this one right, otherwise the other die hard Sandler fans won't let you in their treehouse club. If you're having some trouble here, just take a look at the apartment setting of the movie, and look deep into Sandler's eyes to discover the character he's currently inhabiting. Can you manage it? Let's find out.
Who ultimately receives Deeds' full inheritance?
The Deeds' inheritance details the transfer of a lot - and we mean a lot - of money. So much money that there are definitely some outside parties who want to sink their claws into it. Naturally, the Deeds' inheritance should go straight to ole Longfellow, the Sandler character who shares the name of the original Deeds, but things might not be that simple. If you've seen the movie, you'll know for sure. Who ultimately receives the Deeds' full inheritance?
What's Happy's motivation for becoming a golfer?
Here's Happy, looking not so Happy at all as he gives this little golf ball what for. Happy, of course, would not have even been in this situation in the first place if he didn't have a certain circumstance motivating his performance in the sport. There are better things to do in life than golf, at least for Happy over here. Think back on the movie - if you've seen it, of course - and tell us Happy's motivation for becoming a golfer.
Which of these plot descriptions applies to The Waterboy?
The Waterboy, aside from featuring a very... special character as its lead figure, also happens to be a generally special movie. There are a few important moral lessons in it, such as the importance of never underestimating a competitor who seems to have the odds stacked against them. There's more than that, of course, but rather than dive into the film's subtext, let's see if you even remember its surface plot line. Pick the correct one below, and we'll move on to the next.
What sport is The Longest Yard all about?
Here's a little trio of characters from The Longest Yard, one of Sandler's greatest flicks from the 00's. As true fans will note, this movie is one of the man's greatest achievements, featuring a star studded cast that's hard to forget even after all these years. However, let's hope that the same applies to the main sport featured in the movie, otherwise you might get a little bit stuck on this question. What sport is The Longest Yard all about?
Who's this character?
Pictured here is the angelic face of one of Sandler's all time greatest secondary characters. Indeed, he was so important, Sandler had to feature him in more than one of his iconic movies. Any true fans of the man won't be able to see his glorious face without his name instantly registering to mind. If you're more of a casual fan, you might have to look through your options for a minute. Either way, let's see if you can name this character.
In Grown Ups, who do Lenny and his friends meet during their vacation?
Grown Ups is definitely a feel good movie, based mainly around the enjoyment and relaxation of its main characters. Despite that, there is a small smidgen of adversity present in the film. This has something to do with the group of people Lenny and his friends meet while on vacation. It's a fateful meeting, for sure, though it wasn't anything they expected. If you have a decent memory of the movie, you should know who it is we're referring to.
Where does Little Nicky come from?
Little Nicky is another one of Sandler's very special characters. He's different for a lot of reasons - the way he looks, his general attitude toward life, and of course the place he came from. While the name of his place of origin might come as a shock to some - indeed, inspiring many to run away screaming - it's important to realize that the place a person hails from doesn't necessarily make them who they are. With that in mind, where's Nicky from?
Match this screenshot to the movie
This is a screenshot from another super famous Sandler flick from the 00's, one of the many that followed his string of blockbuster hits from the 90's. Only a comedic actor of Sandler's caliber can keep such a strong momentum flowing over multiple decades, and this movie is definitely an example of that. Because it's so well known - and because you've stumbled in here thinking you're a real Sandler fan - we're sure you won't have trouble getting the name right.
Who's this classic Sandler character?
Here's another classic Sandler scene, this one showing a car ride between a Sandler protagonist and a certain maddening secondary character. Of course, we went over that character back at the beginning of this quiz, so enough about him - for now, let's see if you remember the name of the film's hero. If you're having trouble, just try to notice the tangible, almost visible tension present in the car here. Something is making Sandler angry, and he might express that anger very soon.
Which of these plot descriptions applies to Big Daddy?
Here is ole Rob Schneider, Adam Sandler and the little tyke from Big Daddy, one of Sandler's best late 90s comedies. While the still might be super recognizable, you might still be a little blurry as to the plot of the movie if you haven't seen it in a while. Though that's no excuse if you've come here with the mindset of a diehard Sandler fan. If that's your mentality, you should already be on the next question by now.
Why do Chuck and Larry get married?
Pictured here are Kevin James and Adam Sandler, the two lead characters from I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry. Although these two are strictly best friends in the movie - and nothing more, at heart - a certain set of circumstances inspires them to get married to each other, to the evident confusion of friends and family members around them. True Sandler fans wouldn't have let this movie slip them by, so they should know why the two get married.
Which of these plot descriptions applies to The Wedding Singer?
The Wedding Singer, being one of Sandler's first blockbuster hits, is a movie that's been held closely to heart by a full two generations of film goers. It's a heartfelt tale, for sure, though we can't go into too much detail about it here without giving the answer away. Of course, since you've made it this far, you probably don't need any more hints than we'll provide here. Let's hope so, since we didn't provide many hints for you at all.
Who's the object of Robbie's affection?
Since we're already talking about the Wedding Singer, allow us to direct your attention to the film's sweetheart, just for a moment or two. Of course, every Sandler flick has a pretty lady in it to serve as Sandler's main distraction and object of his life's love, and The Wedding Singer is no exception to that. Since the object of Robbie's affection is one of the most memorable Sandler secondary characters of all time, this one should be very easy.
What's the huge risk involved in using the remote from Click?
The remote from Click is a magical object, make no mistake about that. Its magic is evident almost immediately, since it's pretty easy to tell that you've jumped from one period in time to another. Aside from that, this remote can also freeze time, rewind it, accelerate it, and more, making it a truly omnipotent device if used correctly. However, it's prone to seriously messing up your life if things go wrong. What's the huge risk involved in using the remote from Click?
When Nicky goes to heaven, who does he meet there?
All dogs - and demons, as it might turn out - go to heaven, at least in certain worlds depicted in movies. That's certainly the case in Little Nicky, as evidenced by one of the film's closing scenes, where Nicky is sent straight to heaven. Here he sees the typical white clouds, hears the classic angel harmonies, and meets a certain someone very important to him. Chubbs was there, for sure, but that's not who we're talking about here. Who might it be?
Match this screenshot to the movie
It's hard to tell what's happening in this scene - or, at least, it is for anyone who hasn't brushed up on their Sandler trivia in a while. True Sandler fans watch the man's movies year after year as they come out, and don't dwell exclusively in the 90's and 00's, where he ruled the world. Indeed, given the success of this flick, it serves as proof of Sandler's rule throughout the 2010's. If you're a true fan, you can match this screenshot without an issue.
What does Sonny say is the plus side to waking up early in the morning?
Any fans of Big Daddy will note that Sonny does not exactly like waking up early. Indeed, the man is a bit of a domesticated bum - he relieves himself in public, swears a lot, and likes to keep things super simple. Of course, given the circumstances of the movie, Sonny is often forced into situations he can't exactly control. He's not a morning person, but he does say that there's a plus side to waking up early - what might that be?
Who's this classic Sandler character?
Anyone who's seen this classic Sandler character in action will certainly know what his name is without thinking too hard. After all, while the man has certainly portrayed a great range of characters throughout the years, this one may very well be his most distinct. He kicks a ton of butt throughout the movie, all while enjoying his favorite sugary beverage when he has the chance to. If you're a real Adam Sandler fan, and not just a casual one, then you'll know this one.
Which of these plot descriptions applies to Mr. Deeds?
Mr. Deeds is yet another example of how limitlessly funny Adam Sandler is. It shows him in a more grown up, slightly subdued light - he is no longer the little goofster that his 90s movies portrayed him as. Despite Mr. Deeds being relatively mature compared to the average Sandler movie, it is certainly not lacking in wackiness. Its plot is also quite distinct - enough for it to stick to mind, for sure. Try choosing it from the options below.
What do Chuck and Larry do for a living?
Chuck and Larry, aside from eventually sharing their souls in a wedding bond, also happen to share the same occupation. In fact, they work together, and are seen by associates as partners in the field. It's a physical job, we can tell you that for sure - and not just anyone can do it, too. It's quite dangerous in a number of circumstances, as we witnessed in the movie. If you're a true fan, you'll know how these characters earn their living.
Who is the object of Billy Madison's affection?
Like pretty much every Sandler character in the IMDb-verse, Billy Madison had his eyes set on the lady of his movie, and it's time for you to guess who that is. If you're an actual Sandler fan, this one shouldn't be much of a stretch for you. If it is, maybe you need to go back to school like Billy Madison. Should you choose to do that, we hope you'll have a great teacher to educate you. Who does Billy Madison fall for in the movie?
Which of these plot descriptions applies to Little Nicky?
Little Nicky is a bit of an unconventional Sandler flick, since it has some elements of the supernatural. Of course, it's nothing too mythological, although Sandler fans can't help but respect the whimsy thrown into the writing of this movie - usually, the man tends to prefer dealing with sports of family vacations. So, Little Nicky is a refreshing change of pace. Since it's so distinct, we're sure you'll have no problem choosing the plot description from the options below.
Who's this secondary character?
This secondary character isn't quite like any other one featured in an Adam Sandler flick. Of course, you can already notice the distinguishing characteristic - it's his eyes, in case you didn't. His eyes may or may not be a clue pointing to his name, though we won't spell that fact out for you. Instead, using only your presumably vast Adam S. encyclopedia knowledge, let's see if you can get this one on your own. Who's this famous Sandler secondary character?
Who's this classic Sandler character?
Now, back to the man himself - Adam Sandler. Since he's played so many memorable characters throughout the years, it's hard for fans to keep track of them. Of course, that's where bona fide, die hard Adam Sandler fans come in - to clear things up for the rest of us. Since you've made it all the way down here, we assume that you've seen all the man's biggest movies more than once, and are thus capable of naming his best characters. So who's this guy?
What's Deeds' dream job?
Deeds is, by any measure, a kind, humble man. People like that don't tend to want much in life - they're more than happy spending time with the people they love and having the basic necessities in life. Despite that, though, if Deeds could ever possibly choose, there's definitely one job he would enjoy doing much more than the rest of them. It isn't your conventional job - or is it? Only a real fan of the movie will know.
Match this screenshot to the movie
Equally, since you're this far into the quiz, we doubt there's an Adam Sandler screenshot on the internet that you can't match to its movie. Luckily for you, this one happens to belong to one of Sandler's biggest box office hits, released back in the 00's. While it made a big splash when it was released, some years have gone by since then, so only true Adam Sandler fans remember all of its best scenes. If you're one of those, match this screenshot to the movie.
When the Zohan arrives in New York City, what alias does he use?
If you'll recall some of your memories from You Don't Mess With the Zohan, you'll probably remember that the Zohan was on a very important mission that required him to travel to New York City from his home of Israel. Confused and awestruck by the big city, Zohan did what any good secret agent should: he came up with a great alias to help him stay under cover. Let's see if you're a real fan Sandler fan: name the Zohan's alias.
Which of these plot descriptions applies to 50 First Dates?
50 First Dates is the epitome of what a feel good romantic comedy should be. At least, that's what we would say if this story didn't have a super dark, really sad undertone. Our mention of that should serve as a clue for you, since the unsettling subtext of this movie has something to do with its plot. It's quite different from that of the average Sandler flick, for sure. Which of these plot descriptions applies to 50 First Dates?
What's this dog's name?
This might look like your average dog - although it might be a shade or two over its recommended weight - but don't let its appearance fool you. As it turns out, this dog ended up being Nicky's saving grace in the real world. Without him, Nicky wouldn't have made it very far away from the NYC subway system, and he definitely wouldn't have been able to save the world. If you're a fan of the movie - and Sandler in general - you'll know this dog's name.
What's the name of Adam's animated Christmas/Hanukkah movie?
This is by no means your regular animation - this one comes to you from the depthless mind of Adam Sandler himself, which makes it the perfect addition to this quiz as a means of further challenging your Sandler trivia. We're almost at the end of this quiz, but not quite there yet - before your final score is revealed, you'll have to jump through a few more hoops, including this one. What's the name of Adam's animated Christmas/Hanukkah movie?
In Grown Ups, why does Lenny lose the basketball game?
Grown Ups is a generally easygoing movie - it focuses more on self-contained, character driven scenes rather than any sort of elaborate plot. If there is a build up and climax in the movie, then it definitely revolves around the basketball game in act three. Fans of the movie will remember that Lenny actually loses that game on purpose, even when he had a clear chance to win. He did this for a pretty good reason - remember what it is?
Which movie is this character from?
Although this character might have appeared as quite serpentine during the first half of the movie she appeared in, eventually, we discovered that she's quite alright after all. Of course she is, otherwise she wouldn't be married to her husband in the movie. We can't say much more than that without giving the answer away, but real Sandler fans won't need any additional hints. Take a look at this secondary character, and see if you're able to guess which movie she's from.
What's Nicky's favorite food?
Now, let's get back to the hellish world of Little Nicky. Of course, while this movie was a box office hit relative to the average one, it isn't one of the top five most widespread Sandler flicks - meaning only true Sandler fans will remember it in an intricate way. Since Nicky alludes to his favorite food more than once in the movie, it doesn't take a genius to remember what it is. It's a multiple choice question, so your odds aren't so bad.
Do Robbie and Julia end up getting married?
Pictured here are Robbie and Julia, the two true lovers portrayed in the Wedding Singer. It's nice to look back on this first Sandler flick featuring the lovely Drew Barrymore as his counterpart, isn't it? However, we're having some trouble remembering whether these two eventually ended up getting married in the movie. That would be quite fitting, of course, since the movie is about weddings and all, but we're not sure... do you remember if Robbie and Julia end up getting married?
What's Mr. Deeds' first name?
Although everyone seems to be happy by simply calling the man Deeds (and he wouldn't have things any other way, either), Mr. Deeds actually does have a first name, and it's quite the mouthful to say the least. Indeed, it's such a mouthful that Deeds just puts it in the drawer, instead going by his last name. Despite that, we'd expect every Sandler fan to remember this character's first name by heart, for sure - so might Adam, by the way.
Match this screenshot to the movie
We're at the very last turn of this quiz, and here's our final screenshot of the day. Congratulations on making this far, but we can't let you out of here quite yet. Does that make you angry? They have therapy for that, you know. Anyway, if it's been a while since your last viewing of this classic Sandler flick, you might not remember which movie the scene belongs to. Let's hope that isn't the case, since you'll want to maintain a good score at this point.
What's the Zohan's favorite drink?
The Zohan loves to party, though it's never much of a party if his favorite tasty beverage isn't nearby. Having come up on the stuff, the Zohan loves this delicious drink - indeed, he seems to need it at times, which is a little disconcerting. He's not the only one who loves it, of course - his friends do as well, as do his enemies. You'd probably love it too, if you tasted it. As would we. What's this legendary drink called?
Which of these plot descriptions applies to The Longest Yard?
The Longest Yard might seem like all fun and games, and actually, it mostly is. Let's face it - most Sandler flicks are about laughing and unwinding, and there's not much depth to take from them besides that. However, most Sandler flicks have a solid story that's quite easy to understand and follow, and that's definitely the case with The Longest Yard. In order to discover how much of a fan you are, try choosing the plot description that best pertains to The Longest Yard.
Robbie Hart is a Wedding singer, but what's his dream job?
If you enjoy singing, and are looking for a way to earn some money out of your hobby, a wedding singer doesn't sound like such a bad gig. The money's good, the hours aren't so bad, and you get to make music for a living. However, if you have bigger dreams, the job of wedding singer might start to get old after a while. That applies to our friend Robbie over here. He's a wedding singer, but what's his dream job?
How much money does Longfellow Deeds receive at the end of the movie?
Deeds is a kind, good hearted man, and it's nice to see people like that get rewarded - even if it only tends to happen in movies like these. Indeed, Deeds got quite handsomely rewarded in his movie, receiving the final amount right at the very end of it. Careful, since this question might trick you if you don't remember exactly how the film wrapped up. How much money does Longfellow Deeds receive at the end of the movie?
What's the name of Sandler's character in Grown Ups?
Before we release you back out to that cruel, real world, let's see if you can make it past this final question. It's been an incredible, Sandler-ific journey so far, but all such things must eventually come to a tragic end.
