7 First Stars

Rating: 7/10 (13 August 2013)

This move is a little out of Sandler's repertoire but it could be one of his best. Adam Sandler plays Henry Roth: an ocean-cuddling bachelor who manages to enchant single women on their vacations in Hawaii, whose character also manages to use typical movie bachelor cliché.
Though this side of Sandler is well under-developed because he soon falls for a woman (Drew Barrymore) who is living a Truman Show-esque life with the same day re-inacted by her stern but then soon loving father and her obnoxious brother who often makes a fool of himself when displaying muscular pride.
Although the characters in this film sort of have a schizophrenia, due to the fact characters change insanely quickly, this film is indeed in its own. This is the romantic comedy unlike others. The humour is quirky and very little, with the walruses overused to display humorous inclination in Roth's life.
Though of course we expected a happy ending from the start (what is a Rom Com without one?) but this film is sure a success. Occasionally funny but unlike Sandler the humour isn't forced down our throats. We aren't laughing at his over-portrayal of an extreme character, we're looking at a guy who realises he wants to use any means possible to get the 'girl of his dreams'.
The film has unnecessary parts of it and Rob Schneider's part again was just absolute ridiculous, pushing stereotypes to the extreme in unfunny ways (Big Daddy his best attempt) but despite quick-changing characters this film is immense.
