An average movie

Most of the time, I found Adam Sandler rather obnoxious and I have a really hard time enjoying his flicks. Indeed by now, I have seen 2/3 of his movies and most of them were just appalling. However, he has made a few decent movies and this one is definitely one of them. Once again, like most of his features, there was a concept behind the whole thing but, somehow, it actually worked. Indeed, when you think about it, it is pretty much like a romantic version of Memento and I actually enjoyed it. And considering the box-office gross, I wasn't the only one. It would be the 2nd time that Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler were working together (they are currently working on a 3rd movie) and it was much better than the abysmal ‘The Wedding Singer’. Of course, it was still nothing really mind-blowing but I thought it was a nice surprise and I thought it was rather enjoyable. For once, the general sweetness in Adam Sandler’s work was not overshadowed by the overwhelming number of gross and moronic jokes. To conclude, in my opinion, even though it was no masterpiece whatsoever, it was a major improvement on your average Adam Sandler’s production and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
