Sweet and Funny

Rating: Null/10 (23 June 2004)

The chemistry that Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler showed us in "The Wedding Singer" carries over into this sweet and funny romantic comedy. Peter Lucas gives us an abundance of wacky moments, over-the-top characters, and quasi-adolescent sexual humor, but considering the cast, we'd be disappointed if it didn't have all that and more. However, it's the "and more" that makes this movie special. Sandwiched between the zany moments are bittersweet romance, the powerful ties of family and friendship, and, finally, a surprisingly insightful picture of the true meaning of love. Cudos to Sean Astin, who shows us he's not afraid to take a risk!
