18. Spoiled for you here:
Edited on Thu Jan-20-05 06:38 PM by tjdee
It wasn't a typical "Billy Madison" film, though it was marketed as one.

Highlight the below space:

She has short term memory loss, and they handle it pretty realistically. Toward the end they put her in a mentalish institution because it is clear she can't be with Sandler or live with her family. Being with her is keeping Sandler from doing his animal work in Alaska, for example.

While she's there, she starts humming (which is symbolic in the film), and even though she doesn't remember Adam Sandler, she paints 'someone' (who's really him). When he realizes that her heart remembers him even if her head doesn't, Sandler goes to get her out of the mentalish institution.

The last scene is her watching a video of her life (they show her one every morning)--turns out Sandler married her. She looks out the window and she's in Alaska. So he did have his future--AND, he goes "do you want to meet your daughter?". So they had a future, and it is so sad when she meets her daughter.

She doesn't magically lose her illness, which is what I expected. Very sweetly done.

26. Much better than I expected.
There was some idiocy going on, but I've had a diverse group of folks tell me how much they liked it.

It's no.....uh....insert excellent film here.....but it was good.

17. For some reason, I do recall getting misty.. I think there was some
part of the movie that involved that dad crying or something, and seeing grown men cry always gets me.

25. I got lost on the premise - how do you fall in love with someone
who can't remember who you are the next day?

27. Oh Jimmy Jazz.....
Love isn't logical. Why do I love Adrien Brody and not George Clooney, for example? Really can't explain it. :silly:

I imagine his idea of the video helped a lot (so he didn't have to keep introducing himself). Also, he was a womanizer so her being a constant challenge made her perfect for him.

When I watch a movie, I always accept the premise. They're telling me a story, and if that's what the story's about, I can live with it. They'd just better deal with it correctly.
