One of my favorite movies
I'm not a fan of either Adam Sandler or Drew Barrymore but I don't think there is another pair of actors that could have "sold" this story the way they did. It is one of the funniest but also the most touching movies I've ever seen. I've watched it at least 20 times and I'm sure I'll watch it at least 20 more. Every member of the supporting cast is perfect. They took an unbelievable story and made it utterly believable at least for people like me. By the end of this movie I wanted to believe that with enough love they could make it work and the way it was handled made it possible for me to believe it. I can't say enough about the direction of this film. Just wonderful. Nothing is forced. It just flows. And, they didn't "sell out" or "cater to the audience" by creating a perfect ending with a "cure" for Lucy. Of course, choosing to set it in Hawaii was genius and the added touch of the animals at the sea world park was also genius. If you haven't seen it and you want to see a very superior romantic comedy then buy this movie. I absolutely can't recommend it highly enough.
