Excellent Story
There are three seperate things that make this movie so great. First off, the story. It is a totally original great story that makes this movie fresh and different. Because of the vulnerability of the characters in this story line (Barrymore because of her condition and Sandler because of his helpless state) I was able to become quite attached to these characters and route for them 100%.Next, the actors in this are phenominal. What a great move by both Sandler and Barrymore for working together again, as I loved them in the Wedding Singer and now in this. I think their chemistry is so great and they are both increadibley believable in this. And the additions of Astin and the actor who plays Barrymore and Astin's father are great. Astin's character is hilarious as a man who is obsessed with his body which causes him to abuse steroids. And then there are the usual quirky characters that one can come to expect in any Sandler movie including Rob Schneider.Lastly, I thought that the setting and music in this movie were fabulous. It is set in beautiful, gorgeous Hawaii which is so pleasent to watch throughout the scenes in the movie. And the music is generally upbeat and in key with the Hawaiian setting.All in all this movie is a great story with great characters that I higly recommend you enjoy. I was very pleasently surprised.
