Adam Sandler plays Henry, a vet at an aquatic animals park that falls in love with her and has to figure out how to win her love again every day because she doesn&#8217;t remember the previous day.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Good<\/em><br \/>\nThis is a silly, funny, light-hearted romantic comedy that will brighten any evening.  The cast of characters is entertaining and the story is fun.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Bad<\/em><br \/>\nTypical of Adam Sandler, he tends to over-act some of his scenes and they end up looking like many of the other scenes you see in a typical Adam Sandler movie.  If you like Adam Sandler, that isn&#8217;t the worst thing, but it does detract from the quality of the movie.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Ugly<\/em><br \/>\nThe androgenous character that works with Henry at the animal park.  His (her?) comment about not being sure whether he preferred tacos or sausage left a lot to be desired.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Bottom Line<\/em><br \/>\nThis movie is good light-hearted movie to watch with a couple for a quiet, uplifting movie.  I definitely recommend it.  Incidentally, Sean Astin plays Lucy&#8217;s brother.  His character is hilarious &#8212; a body building obsessed wimp who does steroids and talks with a pronounced lisp.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Synopsis Drew Barrymore plays a woman named Lucy, who due to a head injury is unable to process short term memory into long term memory.
