A year after his hugely successful comedy "The Waterboy," Adam Sandler returned with this comedy in which he plays a guy who, after being dumped by his girlfriend who feels he's unmotivated, tries to prove her wrong by becoming the guardian of a boy who is left on his doorstep.

Let's just say he's not the best influence for the kid.

Emma Stone is fantastic in this high school comedy in which she plays a clean-cut student who suddenly finds herself the center of attention after being the talk of the school for being a floozy.

But in reality, all she's doing is allowing guys to pay her to say they have hooked up with her.

Before director Todd Phillips went and made "Joker," he crafted his greatest comedy work with this look at the outlandish happenings three friends go through while throwing a bachelor party. The movie would make Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis, and Ed Helms instant stars.

The sequel and third movie are also available on Netflix, but honestly, just stick with watching the original.
