Barrymore and Sandler Make a Winning Team...Again!
50 first dates, Sandler and Barrymore's second venture together, turns out to be Funny, Charming and often Sentimental. While they were extremely lovable in The Wedding Singer the two now proove that they are the dynamic duo of the romantic comedy. Like Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks, or Julia Roberts and Richard Gere, we want more of Sandler and Barrymore. I believe they both have this wonderful sense of vivacious, carefree and sincere deliveries that make them top of my list for Romantic Comedy duo!The film was absolutely enjoyable from start to finish. Creative storyline told in a charmingly funny way. The subject matter is rather heavy but it is portrayed a little more light hearted and Barrymore is such an adorably likable actress that you want to see more. Sandler is the unlikely romantic lead which is all the more reason to root for him! In the Wedding Singer we were charmed when he sang "I want to grow old with you" to Julia on the plane, now we are charmed with how many different ways he can make her fall in love with him, day after day after day...Enjoyable performances by an always creative Rob Schneider, Dan Aykroyd and a lisping, weightlifting Sean Astin! (Whatever happened to the fat Samwise?)DVD specifications are great too! Widescreen 2:35:1. There are deleted scenes, bloopers, and a hilarious mock interview with Rob Schneider as Ula interviewing Adam, Drew and Sean! Hilarious!I laughed, I was touched, I thoroughly enjoyed my two hours. Time well spent. I request that the dynamic duo do more films in the near future to help keep us entertained and charmed all over again.
