Sandler the comic

Rating: 9/10 (22 August 2000)

Adam Sandler was born to do comedy, not the wacky kind like Jim Carrey's, but the understandable kind and the type you can emphathize with. This movie has Sandler being quite the comic human that he is - the comedy as he goes through a breakup and then chases after Barrymore is true and not contrived. The comedy does not depend on gags or slapstick to achieve its humour; Sandler alone can carry this movie off, that's how good he is in this. Not his best work, but still one of the best.
