Great chemistry

Rating: Null/10 (3 August 2001)

Like most people would agree Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore had great chemistry in this movie. They should consider teaming up for another movie. However, they were two different people so people who hate Sandler's humor can appreciate Barrymore's acting (and vice versa).
The only annoying thing about this movie is that I was relatively young in the 80's and can't really appreciate or recognize the music/dress. However, this film has steadily made me a fan of the 80's music. Sandler was great as the singer and he made the cheesy music come alive.
This film, along with Ever After (1998), firmly placed how good an actress Barrymore is. Previously, as an adult star, she was perceived as the B-Movie Bad Girl who landed obnoxious roles, which fell on line with the publics image of her. However, her role as Julia is far different and shows that Barrymore is versatile; she can act in different roles and she maybe isn't such a bad ass but a working actress.
It's a chick flick, but guys take some hints and compose a goofy, romantic song for your lady - they'll love it.
10/10
