You've seen it before...but you will like it once more!

Rating: 6/10 (11 July 2003)

*** MINOR SPOILER *** Sure, it's old-fashioned! The plot is VERY transparent from the moment we first watch Sandler and Barrymore together! And we have two MAJOR bad guys here, one male and one female and they are supposed to marry the leads against better judgement. So why watch something that you have seen before over and over again. Just because it's a sweet and painless experience, clocking in just over 90 minutes, so you won't be bored. You might however be slightly annoyed at Adam Sandler, even if he is better here than he usually is, but then you should focus and attention to Drew Barrymore who has a capacity to breath fresh air and life into almost anything. She is so appealing and natural that you won't be able to understand why Sandler has to hesitate at all!!! Admittedly, there are flaws. I could not figure out why Alexis Arquette's character ever needed to be in this picture. He is somewhat of a Boy George-clone, and they could have done something interesting with him and HE DOESN'T BARELY SAY A LINE! And even if the finale is sweet, it is also just a little bit silly. But it will do on a rainy night when nothing else is playing on the TV!
