It adds another level maybe to Funny People, that this person just can't escape that world, or maybe that Sandler thinks of Funny People as not much more than most other movies.

But I suppose having a lot of money just creates a need for even more money.

Why should "stars" be held to a higher moral yardstick over what they will do (or not do) for money?

From the premise this sounds way too close to being one of the fake George Simmons movies in Funny People. But yeah, it's hard to blame him for going back to what has been successful, especially when Funny People underperformed.

Sandler has tried the dramatic route several times and audiences have not been drawn to those movies. Reign over me was a great film and Sandler did an amazing job in it and no one saw it. He also did dramatic turns in Spanglish and Punch Drunk Love. Both films got overlooked by audiences. Click was the only film that mixed his comedy and some drama and was a success. I think after Funny People, Sandler is going back to what has worked before and I don't see what is wrong with that. There are a lot of people that want to see him in comedies and I am one of them.

Frankly, I blame the public for choosing not to see Funny People. This is him punishing everyone for not seeing it. He could have chosen a more meaningful film to work on next, but instead he goes back to this because the general public doesn't like to see him in that more meaningful light.
