1. Grown Ups & Grown Ups 2
It is an American movie of the comedy- genre and was directed by Dennis Dugan. It is about five great friends who have become five grown-ups, reunited on the fourth of July after their high school basketball coach passed away. This has made people believe in friendships and the fact that no matter how much you might have grown up or have become a businessman, husband, or father, once you get back with your childhood friends, then you are just going to have the best time of your life or as we say the adult life.
Among these five good friends, the actors were the two of them, and the way they interacted in the movie made their chemistry look great. The film even made Adam Sandler win The Favorite Comedic Actor.

Their BTS moment where Adam was drinking coffee was quite hilarious. People get stunned knowing about their friendship and how even after coming this far, personally and professionally, they have not forgotten where they came from and respect everyone regardless of anything.
2. I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry
This movie is about Chuck and Larry, played by Adam Sandler and Kevin James, respectively. Although they were straight, they pretended to be gay couples to get some domestic partner benefits. Seeing how a friend was being so considerate of the other was good—because, in some way or another, this movie was about homosexual couples, so towards the end of the film, they talked about the LGBTQ+ community and even educated the people around them.
Behind The Scenes
The scene with this dialogue,” I now pronounce you husband and husband.” was a behind the scene look of the movie. Jessica Biel, one of the movie cast, talked about how she liked the film’s theme and how cooperative the people were off-screen. Even though it might not be a theme that people are so familiar with when it comes to watching movies of the comedy genre because of the narrow-minded attitude, we loved how the audiences watched the film with great energy.
3. Pixels
This movie is about aliens who thought an arcade video game was a declaration of war against them. So, they attacked the Earth using some games like Donkey Kong, Galaga, and others. It was all about their one misinterpretation. Even though this movie did not do well, viewers thought that James and Sandler would have made the film a blast if they had made it. The audience enjoyed their friendship in the movie.
Behind The Scenes
Since this movie is about aliens and everything they did, it required a lot of effort from the cameraman, the editor, and the performers. Here we have a clip that summarizes everything behind the screen and the hard work the entire crew had put in.
The actors, directors, and every person who is a part of the movie put in 100 percent effort and do everything they can to make the film successful. It is all irrespective of the fact if the movie does well at the box office or not. This movie might be one of those, wherein behind the scenes, tell us how things were done to make it a success, but unfortunately, the reviews were poor.
4. Sandy Wexler
This movie is about Sandy Wexler, the character played by Adam Sandler, who was a talented manager representing a group of clients. However, his dedication and devotion were disturbed when he fell in love with his new client Courtney Clarke. Whereas, Kevin James played the role of his clients in the movie, which added to the duo’s on-screen performances. This movie is a real-life story based on Sandler’s manager Sandy Wernick.
Behind The Scenes
One of the hilarious scenes of the movie was Sandy Wexler‘s (Sandler’s) laugh. The way he continued to do it behind the cameras was so funny. Let’s have a look at it.

5. Zookeeper
The movie Zookeeper is about Griffin, a caretaker of zoo animals. Unfortunately, he had a zero-love life. So, he took help from his beloved animals to find love and keep him a little away from any miseries. The audience craved a Zookeeper 2 since they loved the first part so much.
Behind The Scene
The best BTS of the movie has to be the reaction James had after his crazy shots, and whenever he looked at the monitor to check if he had acted well or not was also worth it. Considering that the film involved a lot of animals, the moment the shot used to get complete, James used to come into his true senses, and for the people around him, it was all so hilarious. Here’s a true demonstration of it;
6. Hubie Halloween
It is a Netflix original movie wherein Adam Sandler acted as Hubie. In the film, he was mocked by everyone, but he still investigated and discovered a villain. It was all about his devotion to Salem, Massachusetts. Kevin James played the role of a police sergeant who did not take Hubie seriously. So, it was something new and different for the audience who had just seen their friendship on-screen and those types of movies.
Behind The Scenes
We have the BTS of the “barn party scene,” wherein it took them two days to film. Two hundred extra people were being called to act as high school students. Halloween costumes were given. The characters needed to have the patience to shoot for this one. The scene was filmed where they were dancing literally to no music, and they just had to dance until the director was satisfied with their performance.
