He's a Saturday Night Live legend and one of the most successful movie comedians of his generation. But back in his single days, did Adam Sandler have much game?

According to Leslie Mann, who plays his love interest in the new comedy Funny People, the answer is a resounding no.

"I actually met Adam before I met Judd," says Mann, 37, referring to her husband Judd Apatow, who wrote and directed Funny People. Apatow is also the comic force behind Knocked Up and The 40-Year-Old Virgin – and the couple's daughters, Maude, 11, and Iris, 6, play Mann's children in Funny People, which opens July 31.

Earlier this month, Andrew Morton's scathing biography of Cruise hit shelves; meanwhile, a pro-Scientology video starring the actor hit the Internet and became the butt of jokes. But many of Cruise's friends and colleagues are not laughing.
