Is there an actor you can't stand? Do they have any exceptions? - Lemmy.World

For example, I don’t like Will Ferrell in his typical roles. Oh they just drive me batty. But. I do love Stranger Than Fiction. It’s such a cozy movie.

I can’t stand Adam Sandler movies. Exceptions: The Wedding Singer and 50 First Dates.
Also Punch-Drunk Love.
Such a strange little, uhm, love(?) story!
He did a good job in Uncut Gems too.
I liked him a lot in “Spanglish” and “Reign Over Me.”

Whilst his acting is superb in that, I couldn’t finish the movie because it made me feel viscerally uncomfortably. It’s like a comedy character that has all comedy drained out, just a painful cringy cramp that won’t go away.

Still props for the acting job.

I bought a lot of pudding.

This and Stranger than Fiction are my two go-to “dislike the actor except for in _____” movies. Tends to be comedians stepping out of their narrow role to do something serious and experimental.
Also you can’t lose with Jon Brion composing.

I bet all those underscores are going to render weird.
