There’s a horde of romantic comedies descending on the scene running loose in the theaters right now, and this flick is one of them. And thats a good thing. It’s pretty decent concept. The man who can’t commit meets the one girl he wants to commit to only to discover she can’t possibly reciprocate because of an isolated and very localized tramatic brain injury that affects short term memory. You know, a simple little tale.
Drew, if I weren’t married, I’d stalking you. Oh, was that my outside voice? Ahem. Kudos to Drew Barrymore’s performance, she’s believable and cute at the same time. I think it’s cool to see how far she’s come in the last decade. Just think, ten years ago we were suffering through projects like the Amy Fisher story and Doppleganger. By Drew’s own account it’s better to poke your eyes out than watch Doppleganger.
Adamn Sandler is also a hero of mine, because he plays that regular guy who woke up in the center of comedy stardoom so well. He’s a regular guy it seems. Coolness. His timing is superb and so is his flair for the jokes. He keeps both rolling here.
I liked this film, you can’t go wrong watching it, so go see it. It was number one two weeks in a row for a reason.
