burn the negative

Rating: Null/10 (28 October 1998)

I wonder how long it took audiences to see that the Sandler and Barrymore characters would end up together, or that they would go through a hundred misunderstandings, until they understand that each person loves the other person. I wish they would have never made "It Happened One Night" (1932), because ever since then horrible only-interested-in-movies-as-a-business film makers have been making crap like this. Adam Sandler plays a moron who is charming and stupid simultaneously. He can't act, so he has to make fun of himself in order to feel comfortable. As for Drew Barrymore, she plays a one dimensional air head. I'm not even going to analyze her character, because there's nothing there but a moron with a 90's due, in an 80's based movie. If Adam Sandler is going to try play stupid for laughs, then he should write another Happy Gilmore, not romantic comedies. I think people like to laugh at Adam Sandler, but never with him; I think it makes them feel a lot less insecure and stupid.
