I Hate Adam Sandler, But I Liked This Movie

Rating: 8/10 (24 November 2013)

When I saw this film on Netflix, I had a feeling I would despise it. After all, I hate Grown Ups 1 and 2, Jack and Jill, and pretty much everything Adam Sandler has put out since he's become comfortable with his fame.
And that feeling was still there the first 20 minutes. It had all the bad Adam Sandler-movie clichés. A weird guy, who is more creepy than funny (two in this one), kids saying inappropriate words and giggling, and Adam Sandler somehow being able to directly communicate with animals.
And then everything just changes... completely.
I was struck with a LOGICAL dilemma. Adam Sandler falls in love with a girl who wakes up every morning not remembering the last day. The parts of the movie that work off of this genius idea are brilliant and entertaining as hell. The comedy during these parts is actually good, too.
Even though the movie occasionally goes into dumb territory, the main plot kept me watching and invested, and for this the film gets a solid 8/10. Get rid of all the unfunny parts and this film could have been a 9.
