When the hero sings to the heroine of growing old with her and tending her arthritis you know this romantic comedy, set in 1985, is a touch offbeat.
More often than not, this quality actually works against the film. When jilted wedding singer Adam Sandler picks out the least good-looking people at the reception and tells them they'll never find love, the scene leaves a sour taste.
Mercifully, such elements are outweighed by the film's romantic drive and feelgood feeling and by a truly charming performance by Drew Barrymore as the waitress for whom goofy Sandler is clearly destined to fall - despite the fact they're with different (equally obnoxious) partners.
Allen Covert is also good - and never unsympathetic - as Sandler's slimebag friend, still stuck in the 1970s, and Christina Pickles nearly steals the show as a little old lady Sandler is teaching to sing. Enjoy.
