Frank Coraci: An American Film Director

American film director Frank Coraci is widely known for his collaborations with renowned actor Adam Sandler.

Early Life and Education

Born in 1966 in New York City, Frank Coraci pursued his passion for filmmaking at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. He graduated with honors in 1988.

Rise to Prominence through Sandler Collaborations

Coraci made his directorial debut with the 1998 film "The Wedding Singer," which starred Adam Sandler. The film's success cemented Coraci's reputation as a master of romantic comedies. He went on to direct two more hit comedies with Sandler: "Big Daddy" (1999) and "Click" (2006).

Venture into Epic Adventure with "Around the World in 80 Days"

In 2004, Coraci took a departure from his signature genre to direct the big-budget adventure film "Around the World in 80 Days." However, the film received mixed reviews and proved to be a box office disappointment.

Return to Romantic Comedy with "Zookeeper"

Undeterred by the failure of "Around the World in 80 Days," Coraci returned to his roots in romantic comedy in 2011 with "Zookeeper." Starring Kevin James and Rosario Dawson, the film found moderate success, further solidifying Coraci's position as a skilled director in the genre.
