A goofy gem

Rating: 8/10 (19 July 2018)

Silly? Yes. Unbelievable? Absolutely! But I dare you to sit through this movie and not get a fuzzy feeling in your heart and a smile spreading across your face. No offense to the wedding singer, but this is the cutest Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler have ever been together, and maybe the cutest either of them have been PERIOD. There are just enough WTF moments that it's almost an alt comedy (the steroid brother? the manatee? The fact that it's all in hawaii for no reason?) but it sticks close enough to the rom com tropes that it's satisfying. And there's no magic solution! Just like in a real relationship, they find a way to work through their problem. She never gets her memory back, but through love they make it okay. A wonderful sleepover or date night movie. With a killer soundtrack to boot.
