Customer Reviews

Surprising depth of conciseness
The island is Hawaii, a temporary paradise for many women; the man on the island is Henry Roth (Adam Sandler) also a temporary paradise. Unwilling to commit to anyone or thing but his boat.

Then he meets Lucy Whitmore (Drew Barrymore). After an accident she has lost her ability to transfer short term memory to log term. So every day since the accident is erased and she starts over. So the relationship starts from a bet and ends up who knows where if any where.

At first it the film looks just like any old Adam Sandler film that only Sandlerights could like. Then it settles down to cute. Then it settles down to meaningful, finally you forget that you are watching a movie and then it is over. Drew excels in this movie and is very believable.

The film would have come off a lot better with out all the Sandleright left over characters that contributed zip to the story. The two that came to mind is the brother Doug Whitmore (Sean Astin). And the what-not Alexa (Lusia Strus.)

Another warning is that the version of DVD had a bunch of coming attractions after paying good money I do not need forced attractions at the beginning. Wait for a better release or just press the "Menu" button to escape them.
