Not a good film

Rating: 2/10 (1 August 2005)

The premise of this movie is incredibly stupid. Henry Roth (Adam Sandler), who is afraid of commitment and constantly has one-night stands with beautiful tourists, suddenly falls in love at first sight with Lucy (Drew Barrymore). The problem is that Lucy has short-term memory loss and he has to wake up each day and re-convince her to fall in love with him. That's a pretty ridiculous scenario. That being said, I have no problem with the ridiculous plot-line. I pretty much expect it with an Adam Sandler movie. The problem with this movie is that its not funny enough to overcome to horrible plot. Normally, you accept the bad story line because all you really expect out of the movie is to laugh and enjoy it. With this movie, however, it seems like the creators wanted to make this like every other romantic comedy, where the love story is more important than the comedy. It just doesn't work in this case because its just not believable to think that these two characters would ever live happily ever after. There are some funny parts in the movie, but overall not enough to keep me interested throughout the film.
