After leaving SNL, Adam Sandler shifted his focus toward movies and started his production company, Happy Madison Productions. He produced and starred in several hit comedies like The Waterboy, Big Daddy, and Mr. Deeds, which not only made millions at the box office but also created a loyal fanbase for Sandler.

He often incorporates his love for music in his films, creating funny and catchy tunes that get stuck in our heads for days.
