Fans of the comedic star may not realize how often they see Adam Sandler's kids in his movies as well as other family , like Sadie Sandler and Sunny Sandler, and his wife, Jacqueline. On top of starring in hit movies, Sandler produces them as well through his film production company, Happy Madison Productions. This has allowed Sandler more control over his projects, which includes embracing his desire to bring his family into his work.

Sandler's wife, Jacqueline, is an actress and a model. Besides starring in her husband's films, Jackie has appeared in movies such as The Last Summer and TV series like Kevin Can Wait. Sandler's two daughters, Sadie and Sunny, also make frequent appearances in their father's films. While some Sandler family appearances are more prominent, others can be more difficult to spot. However, every Adam Sandler movie featuring his wife Jackie, daughters Sadie Sandler and Sunny Sandler, includes some of his best projects (even those he doesn't star in).

24 Big Daddy (1999)

Jackie Sandler Plays A Waitress

Big Daddy was one of Sandler's first hits that acted as a signpost for his familial castings to come. The movie follows Sonny Koufax, a slacker in New York City who suddenly finds himself in charge of five-year-old Julian McGrath (Cole and Dylan Sprouse) after the child was left abandoned on his doorstep. One of the first movies in what would become the Sandler multiverse, Big Daddy was also the film to kick off Sandler's habit of casting his family.

Adam Sandler's wife, Jackie, had a small role as a waitress, and they met on set. However, it is one of the most notable given that this is where her personal and professional relationship with Sandler began. Her performance wooed Sandler — and the pair were dating by the time the film was released in 1999. Jackie's role in the movie is very minor with her only appearing briefly in one scene and delivering a couple of lines.

23 Bedtime Stories (2008)

Sadie Sandler Appears As "Sweetest Medieval Girl Of All Time"/Jackie Sandler Appears As Lady Jacqueline

While Sandler is known for his charmingly juvenile humor in a lot of his movies, they have largely been aimed at an older audience. Bedtime Stories was among Adam Sandler's first family-oriented films. Sandler plays Skeeter Bronson, a hotel handyman who finds himself in hot water after the outlandish stories he tells his niece and nephew come to life. Sandler's daughter, Sadie, appeared alongside him in Bedtime Stories at just under two years old, playing the role of the "Sweetest Medieval Girl of All Time" in one of the fairy tales.

It marked the first time one of Sandler's children appeared in a credited role in one of his movies. Given her young age, it makes sense that Sadie doesn't have any lines in the movie. Jackie Sandler also appears in the movie as Lady Jacqueline, the mother of the little girl, who also doesn't have any lines in the movie.

22 That's My Boy (2012)

Jackie Sandler Plays A Masseuse/Sadie And Sunny Sandler Cameo

That's My Boy sees Donny (Adam Sandler) raise his son, Todd (Andy Samberg), for 18 years as a single father. After years apart, Donny arrives uninvited on the eve of Todd’s wedding in a desperate effort to reconnect - ensuring hilarity ensues. The film is a raunchy R-rated comedy that was met with dismal reviews and marks one of the few Adam Sandler movies to bomb at the box office.

Jackie Sandler appeared in That's My Boy as a masseuse who Donny makes a clumsy at only to be rejected by the disgusted professional. It is a brief appearance but has a funny reveal that sells the depravity of Donny as a character. His daughters, Sunny and Sadie, appeared as children running a local lemonade stand. It serves as the first time the girls were seen on screen together.

21 Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo (1999)

Jackie Sandler Stars As Sally

Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo tells the story of Deuce Bigalow, a hapless fish tank cleaner who gets himself in dangerous waters after causing expensive damage to the house of a sex worker. To pay for the damages, Deuce Bigalow is forced to turn to sex work himself, resulting in raucous scenes that put Rob Schneider's comedic talents on the map.

While Sandler himself doesn't appear in the first-ever Happy Madison production, his wife Jackie shows up as Sally. It is another brief role as Sally is a woman who hired Deuce to go out with her friend for a night. However, when Deuce begins to fall for the girl, Sally and her other friends don't approve of him becoming a permanent love interest. Interestingly, Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo is a family affair outside of the Sandlers with Elle King, Schneider's real-life daughter and future music star, appearing as well.

20 The Do-Over (2016)

Jackie Sandler Appears As Joan/Sadie And Sunny Play Sally And Daisy

More than a decade after Sandler teamed up with Damon Wayans for Bulletproof, he returned to the buddy action movie genre with The Do-Over. When their lives begin to go downhill, Max and Charlie (Sandler and fellow Saturday Night Live alum David Spade) decide to fake their deaths and start over with new identities. Unfortunately, the new personas the pair craft for themselves are revealed to have even worse problems than their old ones.

Jackie appears in The Do-Over as Joan, a woman whom the two friends meet in the club while living their new lives on the run while Sadie and Sunny play Auto Store Lou’s daughters, Sally and Daisy. Once again, these are brief roles for Sandler's family . However, it was further proof that these roles were growing in the new era of Sandler's career when he partnered with Netflix for a collection of movies.

19 The Benchwarmers (2006)

Jackie And Jared Sandler Cameo

The Benchwarmers sees Richie (David Spade), Gus (Rob Schneider), and Clark (Jon Heder) delusionally dream of becoming pro baseball players as kids only to never get the chance. As adults, the trio forms a baseball team to compete against Little League teams in another classic Sandler sports comedy. The movie is a sign of how Sandler would set up a lot of projects for his famous friends and continue the inclusion of his family , even if he himself wasn't in the project.

Jackie Sandler makes a brief cameo in the movie, credited only as "Female Customer," while Adam Sandler's nephew Jared, who as an adult is a comedian like his uncle, also makes an appearance as the "Autograph Kid." Jared would become another member of the Sandler extended family who would begin appearing regularly in Sandler's movies, but this was one of his first speaking roles.

18 Just Go With It (2011)

Jackie Sandler Plays Veruca/Jana Sandler Cameos

After being burned in love when he finds out his fiancé Veruca cheated on him and married him for his money, Danny (Adam Sandler) decides to tell every future woman he hooks up with that he's married to avoid commitment and more pain. However, when he meets the woman of his dreams and regrets telling her he's married, Danny ropes his assistant (Jennifer Aniston) into pretending to be his soon-to-be ex-wife.

Jackie Sandler plays Veruca, Danny's ex-fiance, while his cousin, Jana Sandler, also appears as one of Jackie's bridesmaids. Despite the fact that Jackie has appeared in many of her husband's movies, this is the closest time they came to being an on-screen couple. However, even then they aren't seen sharing the screen as Danny learns about Veruca's infidelity and her insults towards him while outside her dressing room.

17 The Ridiculous 6 (2015)

Jackie Sandler Plays "Never Wears Bra"/Jared Sandler Appears As "Babyface Patch"

The Ridiculous 6 served as the first movie Adam Sandler made in partnership with Netflix and also served as his attempt at making a Western comedy in the vein of Blazing Saddles. Sandler stars as Tommy, who was raised by Native Americans, only to discover he has several half-brothers who must band together to help their estranged father. The movie also stars Terry Crews, Rob Schneider, and Luke Wilson.

The Ridiculous 6 also stars Sandler’s wife, Jackie, as Never Wears Bra, and his nephew, Jared, as Babyface Patch. Jackie's role was actually part of a larger criticism of the movie in its depiction of Native Americans. Not only is the casting an example of a white actor playing a Native American character, but the character's name was also perceived as insulting. This led to reports of several Native American actors walking off the set of the movie (via Variety).

16 Little Nicky (2000)

Jackie Sandler Appears As Jenna

In Sandler's attempt to combine his particular brand of humor with some supernatural elements, Little Nicky follows two of the Devil's sons who have escaped Hell to create a Hell on Earth — and it's up to Little Nicky (Sandler), the Devil's mild-mannered son, to bring them home. This makes for a fish-out-of-water comedy that includes a lot of fun cameos, including the likes of Rodney Dangerfield, Quentin Tarantino, and Sandler's own wife.

Late in the movie, Nicky learns that his mother was actually an angel and he is able to go to heaven to meet her. Reese Witherspoon stars as his mother, while Jackie Sander appears in the scene as Jenna, one of her angel best friends with them acting like teenage girls together. The scene is also notable for including a cameo from Carl Weathers as Chubs, his iconic character from Sandler's Happy Gilmore.

Alongside Adam Sandler, who plays the titular Nicky, his wife Jackie appears in the movie playing the role of an angel named Jenna, one of Nicky's mother's right-hand angels. Various other cameos abound, and some view it as the movie that properly kicked off the Sandlerverse.

15 Grown-Ups (2010) & Grown-Ups 2 (2013)

Jackie, Sunny, & Sadie Sandler Appear As Tardio's Family

While Adam Sandler has collaborated with his famous friends on a number of occasions, Grown Ups was seen as an exciting Avengers-like lineup of all these funny people coming together. After the death of their high school basketball coach, five former friends and their families come together to reunite and celebrate his legacy. Even though it's been 30 years since they won the championship, and they're all grown up now, this group of friends finds they're still children at heart.

The movie brings together Sandler, Chris Rock, David Spade, Kevin James, and Rob Schneider as the friends, with plenty of other familiar faces in Sandler's sphere also included. Jackie, Sunny, and Sadie all appear in Grown Ups and Grown Ups 2 as the wife and children of Tardio (Richie Minervini), a member of the friends' rival group. It is the first time Sandler's family have had roles they have played more than once.
