With over 80 movies to his name, according to IMDb, New Hampshire's own Adam Sandler is one of the ultimate funny and nice guys who's earned billions. He's even been dubbed the king of Netflix, according to Newsweek, because his movies often top the list for the most watched.  As you know, he even has his own production company called Happy Madison Productions.

However, it's not always smooth sailing when filming some of these Adam Sandler movies.

Adam's character returns to elementary school so he can pass every grade, starting with first grade.

When Conan O'Brien was interviewing Adam about this movie (which is the first feature-length film that he wrote and starred in), Adam admitted that the dodgeball scene where he's aggressively throwing the ball at little kids upset many parents. Many of the child actors wound up in tears.

These romantic comedies starring Drew Barrymore are awkward for Drew whenever she has a makeout scene with Adam, because they're such good friends. According to Vanity Fair, Drew loves the acting bond she shares with Adam, so he told E! News that he gives her a break here and there so she's not so uncomfortable.

In a serious role, Adam plays a basketball scout. According to Looper, it's this movie where he was uncomfortable for much of the filming because he pulled his groin while shooting one of the basketball scenes. He said it was humiliating, and he had to finish filming the movie in pain, even feeling the soreness a year later.

The Ridiculous Six

It's a Western comedy about six long-lost half-brothers searching for their father, and the script was so offensive in its representation of Native Americans that Adam's humor was called distasteful across the board, according to The Atlantic. It caused multiple actors and actresses to walk off the set feeling extremely uneasy and uncomfortable with the outdated stereotypes that even Adam's satirical slapstick writing couldn't pull off. It did well on Netflix viewing-wise because of the controversy. However, it was a flop ratings-wise.
