It’s been a while since Adam Sandler lived in New England, but the longtime Manchester, N.H., resident received a hometown welcome Sunday in Boston.
Sandler paid a visit to the newly opened ArcLight Cinemas on Causeway Street for the regional premiere of his upcoming movie “Uncut Gems,” along with directors (and Boston University alums) Josh and Benny Safdie, composer (and Wayland native) Daniel Lopatin, and Sandler’s towering co-star, Celtics great Kevin Garnett.
Wearing a green T-shirt with “Wicked Smaaht” on the front, Sandler and the rest of the group introduced the film to a packed audience then returned for a post-screening Q&A with former Celtics player Brian Scalabrine.
