Definitely a warm-fuzzy kind of film

Rating: Null/10 (4 May 2004)

I truly adore this movie! I'm a big fan of romantic comedies and of Drew Barrymore, so this was ideal for me. This movie is THE perfect example of a "feel-good flick". Sandler and Barrymore have an undeniably sweet and believable chemistry on the screen. So much so, that I think seeing them in movies together (The Wedding Singer, of course) makes some part of us as viewers wish that they'd actually start a real-life romance. There are definitely some parts of the storyline that people who are more attracted to realism and practicality would have a problem with, because this movie is not about what's practical. It's about loving someone so much that you'd go to great heights to remind them of that in the best way you can, every single day. We can all definitely use a reminder about that kind of stuff, right?
There are parts that will get a chuckle (maybe even a cackle) out of you, there are parts that will get you a little misty, and there are definitely parts that will get you all warm and squishy inside. I can safely say that even if I wasn't already a huge fan of Drew Barrymore, I'd still be extremely impressed by her performance in this movie. When she cries, it's hard not to bust a tear or two yourself. Overall (if you can't already tell), I think this movie is a fantastic love story with a refreshing and original plot, and an ideal movie to watch when you're in need of cheering up, or if you're slightly disenchanted about love (or if you're like me and you like to live vicariously through a great film). I'd recommend it to anyone with a sweet tooth. Hope to see Sandler and Barrymore together again on the big screen soon. RENT THIS MOVIE!!!
