A gem of a movie...different than what I expected
I just saw this movie a couple of days ago and I have to say that the memory of it is sweetly lingering. I didn't have high expectations of it -- I thought it was going to be a silly slapstick sort of thing. I was pleasantly surprised.Don't get me wrong -- the movie is a little schizophrenic. It most certainly does have its sophomoric slapstick moments (and in my opinion, would have been a better movie if they'd gotten rid of them). But within the silliness is a sweet message about love and finding the person you are meant to be with. The chemistry between Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore is really outstanding. Their acting and commitment to their characters made me forget (no pun intended) about all the complications that would exist if Barrymore's condition occurred in the "real world." I truly believed that, yes, of course, that ending made perfect sense and may we all be so lucky in love!Get it, you'll enjoy it.
