This movie has nothing new to offer in terms of story-line, it is
pretty trite in the way it has been treated. It is one of those “feel good”
chick flicks to be watched with an ice cream bucket. I wonder if Sun city had
offered a free shoot to the crew of this movie, since for the most part you
would feel that they were promoting Sun City as a holiday destination
The story begins with a blind date that goes really bad. Both Jim
(Adam Sandler), who is widowed and has three daughters, and a
divorced Lauren’s(Drew Barrymore) who has two Sons have been set up by common
friends who believe they will hit it off. Unfortunately there are no sparks
flying since both seem to carry baggage from their past, they seem to repel
each other. Well, as predictable as one can expect it to be- a bunch of
coincidences occur and voila! Before you know they end up vacationing together
with their families and discover how they complement each other as lovers and
as parents. Well so all’s well that ends well. With Adam Sandler in the movie,
it is but obvious there are a lot of crass punch lines and some slapstick
comedy. So if you do like that, you can surely watch this movie for a few
laughs. As for me it was an ice cream bucket day, so even a few laughs mattered
and time passed
