    A sparkling romantic comedy, the kind of picture that glides by so gracefully and unpretentiously that it's only upon reflection that you realize how much skill, caring and good judgment had to have gone into its making.

    Yes, it's sappy. It's also silly, utterly unironic, a sketch stretched out to feature length, and, if you're in the right mood, pretty darned cute.

    The screenplay reads like a collaboration between Jekyll and Hyde.

    Amazing movie. It's touchy and funny. The quintessential romantic-comedy. And the soundtrack is amazing, too. I love 80's music so much, and they make some great choices. The two songs Sandler adds are pretty good as well.… Expand

    I'll say it-I hate most rom-coms. Most are so predictable, flat, dull, and unfunny. But this is awesome! Easily one of the better rom-coms ever made! Sandler and Barrymore have great chemistry, and everyone else is great too. Although its predictable, the acting, funny writng, catchy soundtrack, and nice retro feel make up for it completly!… Expand

    Atleast it beats Jack and Jill, OMG! This movie in my opinion was the only "good" Sandler movie to ever come out. The subtlety of the comedy was good and he wasn't trying to funny "Thank god" although everyone was and they were alot funnier than him.… Expand
