That first Harry Potter was the worst/best example of this.
Adventures in Babysitting <= Bad
Heartbreak Hotel <= Bad
Home Alone <=GOOD!
Only the Lonely <= Bad
Home Alone 2: Lost in New York <= Bad
Mrs. Doubtfire <= Good, in spite of direction
Nine Months <= Bad
Stepmom <= Didn't See It
Bicentennial Man <= Bad
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone <= Bad
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban <= Bad
I think if you HAD to pick a Sandler associated director that Dennis Dugan might have been the bets of those choices - at least when he makes a bad movie its BAD. (And I still like him from the 1970s as Richie Brockelman on Rockford Files.)
Maybe Edgar Wright can do the sequel?
