Here's a breakdown:
* He does write some of his own movies: Sandler has writing credits on several of his films, like "Billy Madison" and "Happy Gilmore."
* He collaborates heavily: He often co-writes with close friends and collaborators, like Tim Herlihy, Robert Smigel, and Judd Apatow.
* He has a strong influence: Sandler has a very distinct comedic voice and often brings his own jokes and ideas to the table, even if he's not the sole writer.
So, while he doesn't always write the whole script himself, he's definitely a major creative force behind many of his films.
