And thats a good thing. It&#8217;s pretty decent concept. The man who can&#8217;t commit meets the one girl he wants to commit to only to discover she can&#8217;t possibly reciprocate because of an isolated and very localized tramatic brain injury that affects short term memory.

Kudos to Drew Barrymore&#8217;s performance, she&#8217;s believable and cute at the same time. I think it&#8217;s cool to see how far she&#8217;s come in the last decade. Just think, ten years ago we were suffering through projects like the Amy Fisher story and Doppleganger.

He&#8217;s a regular guy it seems. Coolness. His timing is superb and so is his flair for the jokes. He keeps both rolling here.<\/p>\n<p>I liked this film, you can&#8217;t go wrong watching it, so go see it.
