Adam Sandler can actually act e.g. Punch Drunk Love and Uncut Gems

That's orthogonal to being funny anyway.

Perhaps, but making a funny film isn't as simple as getting people who are "funny" and letting them run free.

Yeah. The difference between making a funny movie and just "being funny" is the difference between Ghostbusters (1984) and Ghostbusters (2016).

Maybe I misunderstood your comment and "Uncut Gems" was an example of a funny film :-)
