"So every day you help her to realize what happened and you wait patiently for her to be okay with it... then you get her to fall in love with you again?" - Stacy

Why watch this? There's a sweetness to this flick. Drew wins your heart immediately.

Plot Summary: Henry, a commitment-phobic veterinarian in Hawaii, falls for Lucy, who seems to be the girl of his dreams. He soon discovers that Lucy has short-term memory loss and forgets everything from the previous day, meaning each day he has to win her heart all over again. Determined to be with her, Henry devises creative ways to repeatedly (re)ignite love's spark.

Dad's Preview: This wonderful, creative film, centers on a shallow guy who falls for a cute, young girl. What makes the film unique is her daily memory loss. Sandler's performance is nicely restrained, and the film benefits from a strong supporting cast and great script. Drew Barrymore is also so stinkin' cute. This all helps make this a comedy that stands out... and one you won't soon forget.
