Jackie Sandler's Roles in Adam Sandler Movies

19 Adam Sandler Movies His Wife, Jackie, Has Appeared In

Since the early days of his career on "Saturday Night Live," Adam Sandler has established himself as one of Hollywood's most prolific actors, producers, and filmmakers — not to mention comedians! Adam's versatile approach to comedy along with his recurring collaborations with friends on screen draw audiences to his movies and keep viewers coming back for more. The "Hustle" star is known to bring his fellow actor and comedian friends to star in his film projects, like Kevin James, Chris Rock, Rob Schneider, and David Spade. But he notably incorporates his family — especially his wife, Jackie Sandler — into his movies as well.

The couple of more than 20 years initially met on the set of Adam's film "Big Daddy" in 1999 and have remained attached at the hip since then. In the beloved comedy, Jackie has a small role as a waitress, and her presence on screen inspired a lengthy tradition of appearing in just about all of Adam's movies. Over the years, she has appeared in a number of films, including, "Little Nicky," "Grown Ups," and, most recently, "Murder Mystery." (She also continues to act outside of Adam's films.)

Jackie will not be joining her husband on screen in "Murder Mystery 2," which hits Netflix on March 31, but if you want to rewatch some of her best performances, here are all the movies she stars in alongside Adam!
