Adam Sandler is usually not for me and thats why I took 1 and 1/2 stars off + the uneven re-working of the"groundhog day"idea.Still,its a point of view twist that has its moments aided by a wonderfully comic yet poignant performance by Drew Barrymore.Released in 2004 and running but 99 minutes,there are quite a few funny acting turns by others BUT its really the molding together of the characters portrayed by Barrymore and Sandler that is the whole film.Adam starts as the typical childish jerk he always plays yet evolves into a driven hero of sorts as he falls for someone who will not ever remember meeting him the next day.Groundhog day with a tragic twist as those around her can never forget the endless day always being relived.Spoiler ending,Drew gets to re-know Adam each and every day and the fact they are married and have a young daughter at the end of the film in as fine a ending as anything Sandler has ever done or could hope to ever duplicate.Strong recommendation dispute Sandlers infantile beginning as is his custom in all his films.Trailer URL follows the pix and a IMDB summary below.
