Adam Sandler has now released seven Netflix exclusive movies but which are the best and the worst?

Critics more often than not correctly labeling them as lazy humor that caters to the lowest common denominator and this is especially true when it comes to output that's produced by his own studio, Happy Madison.
Just like any artist with a body of work as extensive as Sandler's, not every Happy Madison production that stars him is equal in quality, or lack thereof. This metric also applies to the films that were released exclusively by Netflix as part of their $400 million deal with Happy Madison.

However, each film varies enough in tone, sub-genre, and narrative drive to stand out on their own.
