NIFTY, FIRST RATE!!!!!!

Rating: Null/10 (17 November 2004)

My mother rented this film and I didn't want to see it cos I thought it would be just slushy and girly and really predictable. HOW WRONG I WAS!!!! This is an absolutely FANTASTIC movie!!! Nice to see Adam Sandler back on form after Punch Drunk Love (what was THAT about!!?) even though it's not his best and felt kinda muted to me - a bit more gross out humour would have done it, but if you have a mental character in a film I suppose there's only so far you can go. Drew Barrymore is REALLY SWEET!!! I mean REALLY SWEET!!!!!! Which is just such a surprise as I've never seen her do that before. And I really didn't see that ending coming. It had me in tears!!! I like a film to be unpredictable and this one was in spades. My mother said it reminded her of Groundhog Day but I said who cares, that's an old b&w film and who remembers that anyway? She agreed with me after a while. So GO SEE THIS MOVIE!!! Fifty times!!!
