Henry Roth is a man who is deeply afraid of commitment and is always moving from one woman to the next as he tries to keep himself from being tied down. His job offers him the perfect cover as he is a veterinarian at an aquarium in Hawaii where most of the women who are there are only there for a week at a time before they leave to go back to their lives. This allows Harry the perfect opportunity to woo them and then move on when they have to leave their vacations. But this all changes one day when his boat breaks down and he finds himself wandering into a diner he had never been to before. Inside he meets Lucy and finds himself quickly falling in love with her and all his plans are thrown out the window as he now finds himself with a woman he would like to spend the rest of his life with. But there is only one problem and that is the fact that Lucy has short-term memory loss that she got from a car crash she had suffered a year earlier. So now Henry has to keep getting her to fall in love with him every time they meet in order for them to have a relationship, since she never remembers the last time she met him. But that soon becomes the least of his worries as Lucy's father and idiot brother no longer want him to see her anymore because they keep playing out the day of her accident to make her happy and Henry keeps screwing that up as he tries to ger her to remember him.

You might have heard this one before Adam Sandler plays the 30-something man-child that is quite goofy and weird but still manages to get the girl in the end. The movie does pretty much stay true to the form Adam Sandler's movies usually follow but this movie has to be one of the better ones he has ever done. The movie is not only uproariously funny but it also has a level of sophistication that is usually missing from Sandler's movies. The movie does have all the goofiness, potty humor and laughter you would expect from a Sandler movie but it also deals very wonderfully with issues like love and relationships. Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore have such on screen chemistry that you can almost see them as a couple in real life. Sandler should learn something from his last two movies and that is actors like Barrymore and Nicholson can help make his movies so much better as he is not expected to carry the whole thing on his shoulders. In fact Drew Barrymore stole the movie many times as she does a wonderful job of drawing you in and making you laugh while also feeling for her character. This might have easily been Adam Sandler's best movie since Happy Gilmore as it is one of the funniest movies that he has ever done and you will find yourself almost rolling in the aisles all the while he is delivering a punch his movies don't normally have. And that comes from the ending which is perfect as it does not follow the typical Hollywood ending but rather fits the movie and the plot so much better. With Valentines close this movie is the perfect movie to take a date on as it is hilarious as well as a good romantic movie.
