Sweet

Rating: 8/10 (24 November 2000)

This is a very, very sweet movie. The story is as simple as they get: boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl. It's just that Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore are made to star in this movie.
Add to the mix a heavy dose of 80's pop culture and the film changes from romantic comedy to a beautiful one. The settings shown are lush, brightly colored and cheerfully happy. The songs are anthemic, uplifting and memorable. The overall effect is a cheery, happy film that contrasts *a lot* with the darker 90s.
If you ever had a "Relax" tank-top or a "Choose Life" T-shirt, this is the film for you.
