Can't Believe It...A Terrific Film!
I am not an Adam Sandler fan. And haven't been one for quite sometime. After seeing this film I am going to have to take back what I have said time and time again about his being a terrible actor. In one review I wrote on here for a different film of his I went so far as to say "he's a no talent hack." But with this film he completely won me over. This is the first Sandler film I can say that I really really loved. It is more of a romance than a comedy but it does have some genuinely funny moments (the supporting actors were perfectly cast-Sean Astin is especially hilarious in this.) This is probably Drew Barrymore's best performance ever. Peter Segal really did a fantastic job directing this film...And Hawaii as the backdrop couldn't be better. As ridiculous as it may sound to some cinephiles out there I was far more touched and moved by this film than I was by the critically hailed Punch Drunk Love. If you like romance movies at all this is a must rent, buy...And I might even have to admit it is one of the best films of 2004.
