Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler have always made a good comedy 'couple' ("The Wedding Singer", "50 First Dates") and here they reunite for the third time again, with director Frank Coraci, so is it any good?
Well yes and no, there's a lot of silliness so prevalent with any Sandler comedy (a Paraglide that goes predictably wrong), a lot of smaltz....buckets of it, but for every misfiring gag there's one just round the corner that hits the funny button (a Monkey 'band' launching into a rendition of 'Careless Whisper' at an opportune moment one of the highlights) and Drew Barrymore is as adorable as ever.
Cheesy as a family pack of Wotsits, a bit of a mess at times, but harmless nonsense.
