She only sings on days after she's been with you....
I know I messed that line up somehow but the sentiment is the same. This romantic comedy is quirky, cute and absolutely sugar sweet. Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore have onscreen chemistry that rivals Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in this movie about a woman who is forced to live in the past because each day is like a repeat of the day before.Injured in an auto accident years ago, Barrymore is now being cared for by her father and brother, who take precautions to make sure every day is exactly the same. Why? Because for Drew Barrymore is IS exactly the same. Every night she goes to sleep and every morning she wakes up with no memory of the day that has just passed. She thinks it is the morning of her car wreck. (Note: she has no memory of the wreck. She thinks it is apparently the time frame BEFORE the wreck... It is as if the trauma of the wreck is simply too much for her mind to grasp. )When Adam Sandler steps into the picture, things begin to change. Subtle differences occur, much in the same way difference occur for Bill Murray, a la Groundhog's Day. Ultimately what transpires is a deepening of affection and a crossroads in life.Adam Sandler must choose. Can he truly live with a woman who can't remember him? If she can't remember him, how can she truly love him? Some how it all works out and the conclusion is both funny and tear-jerking.This is not a bad date movie if I do say so myself.
