Adam Sandler says he usually takes on the movie projects that make him laugh.
The actor admits that has plenty of choice when it comes to roles but the script has to pass the test of making him and his friends laugh.
Speaking to The Press Association the actor said: "I have choices between comedies. A lot of people send me stuff, that's true and whatever makes me laugh, and my friends laugh, we end up doing next.
"This movie in particular, my character was the type of guy I have seen in my life and has made me laugh.
"A guy who is a little out of control and not afraid to drink 25 beers in a night and I don't know, these guys make me laugh."
