Bittersweet Love
One of the reasons I love Adam Sandler movies so much is the messages he wacks us on the head with in a happy sad way. It usually involves a person with a challenge. This person overcomes the physical or mental challenge one way or another, and their struggle always teaches us something. Usually to respect one another and reach out for what you want. Along the way Sandler's brand of comedy is hysterical, sometimes brutally true, but you will still laugh and fall on the floor. This movie is no exception, brilliantly poignant and funny. Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler were great in "The Wedding Singer", but they are far better in this wonderful story of a young lady losing her short term memory. Don't bother to rent this one, buy it now. The beautiful settings in Hawaii are worth the price alone. The story is excellent, and the cast is wonderful, many familiar faces. The music is a nice blend with some great old Beach Boys thrown in regularly.
