Refreshing

Rating: 9/10 (23 January 1999)

This movie smacks of big box office hype in its promotion but displays much more depth.
Nice scripting, a pleasing balance between believable and Hollywood, and at all times you want to like it, and do.
Sandler is wonderfully understated and could be a guy you know; Barrymore displays an understanding of the role that suggests she is going to even bigger places.
All in all, a good time movie. It leaves you feeling great about life, and we all need movies like that sometimes ... ... As long as they are done well, and this one is.
