Hilarious film that never ceases to amuse me

Rating: 8/10 (21 October 2004)

Henry has commitment problems. That is, until he meets Lucy. The only problem is that she suffers from short-term memory loss, so every day he has to re-introduce himself. This movie really shows just how far people will go for the ones they love, all the while providing us with funny moments throughout the entire film.
Adam Sandler has a habit of overacting in all of his movies, and the first time I saw this, I was crinching as I entered the theater. Fortunately for me, the only part where he has a lot of overacting is when he's on his boat singing the Beach Boys hit 'Wouldn't It Be Nice.' While Drew Barrymore was great in her role, the true star of the show was Sean Astin, otherwise known as Sam from 'The Lord of the Rings.' His performance as Lucy's clueless, steroid-using brother Doug is the best part of the movie. Every time he was on screen, the theater I was in was filled with laughter. I saw this twice in theaters and quoted him for months afterword, and he never ceased to be hilarious.
There are some overly sentimental scenes, as well as some disgusting ones, but overall, this movie is full of laughs, and good fun for any romantic comedy fans.
8/10
