A Masterpiece!

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Silly? Yes. Unbelievable? Absolutely! But I dare you to sit through this movie and not get a fuzzy feeling in your heart and a smile spreading across your face. No offense to the wedding singer, but this is the cutest Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler have ever been together, and maybe the cutest either of them have been PERIOD. There are just enough WTF moments that it's almost an alt comedy (the steroid brother? the manatee? The fact that it's all in hawaii for no reason?) but it sticks close enough to the rom com tropes that it's satisfying. And there's no magic solution! Just like in a real relationship, they find a way to work through their problem. She never gets her memory back, but through love they make it okay. A wonderful sleepover or date night movie. With a killer soundtrack to boot.

That was really a brilliant movie. I love drew barrymore. She was wonderful.

Henry, who lives in a Hawaiian paradise, accomplishes a fateful encounter with beautiful woman, Lucy, at a restaurant. The next day, he tries to deepen the relationship, but Lucy can't recognize him on account of her short-term memory. After he finds out the fact, he pours his energy into her in the face of adversity. This film is deep love story but not described in a serious way, also in a comical and humorous way.Henry's love toward Lucy is pure and his figure of making a marriage propose to her everyday without quitting is touching and very masculine. Also, by using a video to keep her memory clear is a brilliant idea and is a measure how much Lucy is valued and loved by Henry and around her company. The way of her family to protect memory-loss Lucy, which they pretend as if the day hasn't proceed since she gets into an accident, might be viewed as too much at times, but her family literally cherishes her from bottom of their heart.From this film, I figure out that we need to spend a day without regret, we'll never know what would become of us the next day.

The premise for this movie was, quite frankly, pure genius. It was one of those rare ideas that could be brilliant as either a comedy or a drama. This could have been a harrowing, yet beautiful love story. It could have been a riveting, intelligent comedy. But when they cast Sandler, it became neither.Instead of telling an almost comically tragic story of love prevailing against impossible odds, they take a real medical condition and stretch it and stretch it until it becomes almost offensively unrealistic. I swear, "Finding Nemo," who only had the condition for laughs, did it better than this movie, which was fueled by its very presence. The directing is alright. There's rarely anything specifically wrong with directing in a movie. In addition to this, there were multiple occasions where I found myself laughing. There was one occasion that I was cracking up.But those are the only redeeming qualities. The acting, writing, and realism are all atrocious.The writing is my biggest problem. Once again, it takes a fantastic premise and wastes it on lesbian jokes. It wastes it on slapstick. It wastes it on vomit jokes. It wastes it on butt crack jokes, and worst of all, it wastes it on Adam Sandler.Which brings us to the acting. Barrymore was actually very good in this movie; I'm not going to lie. Especially considering the incredible emotion she's tasked with portraying, she's phenomenal. There are very few actors or actresses who can successfully pull off that very specific emotion of realizing that, well, this is the thousandth time you've seen that tape.That being said, Sandler was absolutely horrible. Over the many, many years he's been making movies, he seems to have mastered the emotions of "happiness" and "weirded out" down to a science. Unfortunately, this movie requires him to feel actual emotion, and play a character that isn't exactly who he is already, and in the department of actually acting, he seems to be at a loss.Really, really atrocious.
