Sandler was born in Brooklyn, New York.
Some of his films, mainly comedy films such as Jack and Jill (2011), have been widely panned, and Sandler is the holder of nine Golden Raspberry Awards and 37 Raspberry Award nominations, more than any other actor but Sylvester Stallone. Conversely, he has earned praise for his dramatic performances in the dramedy films Spanglish (2004), Reign Over Me (2007), Funny People (2009), and the auteur driven films such as Paul Thomas Anderson's Punch-Drunk Love (2002), Noah Baumbach's The Meyerowitz Stories (2017), and the Safdie brothers' Uncut Gems (2019).

Sandler's career runs on two tracks that keep crossing. The comedy track made him: the Saturday Night Live years led to Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, The Waterboy, Big Daddy and Mr. Deeds, and to a combined box office of over $2 billion. The drama track made critics reconsider him: Punch-Drunk Love for Paul Thomas Anderson, Spanglish, Reign Over Me, Funny People, The Meyerowitz Stories for Noah Baumbach, and Uncut Gems for the Safdie brothers all drew praise for performances far from the comic persona. The record holds both ends at once — nine Golden Raspberry Awards and 37 Raspberry nominations, more than any actor but Sylvester Stallone, sit on the same filmography as those dramatic notices.

Sandler stands in the A letter of the male directory alongside Alec Baldwin, Antonio Banderas and Ashton Kutcher, inside the Male Fashion Celebrities A–G range. A fashion celebrity in this guide is a person with celebrity status who is often watched and judged for what they wear, and Sandler's two-track career — broad comedy on one side, serious dramatic work on the other — gives that watching two very different wardrobes to follow.
