Funny & charming- also one of Adam Sandler's better movies

Rating: 8/10 (1 June 2010)

The film is a little too short, but other than that it is a funny, entertaining and charming romantic comedy. I don't care for Adam Sandler that much, as there have been movies where I have found him irritating, but here he gives one of his more likable performances because he is pitch-perfect here. Drew Barrymore is an actress I like, I think she is pretty and I think she can act(I loved her in Ever After), and she plays a truly charming romantic interest. Sandler and Barrymore's chemistry really works here, and they are supported wonderfully by some great supporting actors, Steve Buschemi being the funniest. The screenplay is funny and touching, the production values are a delight, the direction is secure and of course the soundtrack is absolutely wonderful. Overall, just a nice and entertaining feel-good film. 8/10 Bethany Cox
