Sandler and Barrymore are a natural pair.

Rating: 7/10 (14 February 2004)

I have a generally low regard to Adam Sandler's work on SNL and Drew Barrymore is more cute than she is an actress. But once again, these two put together a movie that was fun to watch.
When I enjoyed The Wedding Singer I figured it was a fluke. But Dates is even better. The early part seemed like an intended ripoff of Groundhog Day. But then the style and story diverges. Some of the stuff is "laugh out of control" funny. (But some bits flop and should have been fixed pre-release.)
If you hate Sandler and someone tries to get you to see the movie, do it. You might still hate Sandler, but you'll like the movie.
