Much better than most people give it credit for

Rating: 8/10 (12 April 2009)

Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore have a wonderful chemistry in this movie, and the movie works perfectly as a romantic comedy and a period film.
The soundtrack is a pretty much a soundtrack of what must have been Sandler's senior year of high school. Also, the soundtrack is appropriately broad, not focusing on a few bands, or even a particular genre, but rather the mishmash of everything from top-40 to light hard rock that a lot of people in 1985 were listening to.
Sure, the movie is predictable in the way that all romantic comedies are, but the getting to the predictable ending is a good ride.
