CAST & DIRECTOR
Directed by Peter Segal. With Adam Sandler, Drew Barrymore, Rob Schneider.
WHAT IT'S ABOUT
Henry is a player skilled at seducing women. But when this veterinarian meets Lucy, a girl with a quirky problem when it comes to total recall, he realizes it's possible to fall in love all over again…and again, and again. That's because the delightful Lucy has no short-term memory, so Henry must woo her day after day until he finally sweeps her off her feet.
