Reunited: Drew And What's-His-Name

By Rebecca Winters

The first time DREW BARRYMORE and ADAM SANDLER acted together, they nurtured crushes over Journey songs in that 1980s nostalgia trip The Wedding Singer. Next Valentine's Day the pair co-star in another tale of love and memory--this one about forgetting. In 50 First Dates, Sandler, a veterinarian, falls for Barrymore, a woman with short-term-memory loss, and has to woo her anew every day. Of re-teaming with her "jovial, lovable" onscreen honey after six years, Barrymore says, "We're a little bit more mature but not much." Does that mean Sandler's not playing The Hannukah Song on that guitar?
