That was scary for a second... there wasn't an Adam Sandler movie in the Best Comedy catagory... but he still made a good movie, Big Daddy, that has all the characteristics to make it a good date movie for guys. # 1, it has lots of funny stuff to laugh at, so even if traditional date movies (a.k.a. chick flicks) aren't your bag you will at least laugh. # 2, you will look like a real "sensitive guy" with your date if you get this movie, which earns you mucho points. And # 3, it has Adam Sandler... the guys movie god. If you can't enjoy yourself at an Adam Sandler movie than I don't even want to talk to you, even if it is a chick flick Adam Sandler movie. |

Although this wasn't a widely released movie (meaning it didn't make a lot of money, a cardinal sin in Hollywood), and it is kind of a "high brow" comedy (meaning you have to have a brain, and use it while watching it... which can also be a cardinal sin in Hollywood, at times), it is still a good date movie. It has enough laughs, and they are mostly those cute laughs that you want on a date, and there are a couple of romantic subplots, another date movie necessity. And for you movie buffs, the acting is very good with Rupert Everett, Minnie Driver and Cate Blanchett, and it is a good period piece. |

An Adam Sandler movie got a nomination for the Best DAte Movie two years in a row (Big Daddy and The Wedding Singer) and now the other star from The Wedding Singer, Drew Berrymore, got a nod for her work in this nominee, Never Been Kissed. Berrymore plays Josie Gellar (no relation to Monica and Ross on Friends), a copy editor for the Chicago Sun Times who dreams of being a reporter... and then gets her wish when she has to be a undercover high school student, reliving the years of her high school where she was known as Josie Grossie. Very funny and (dare I say) very cute, a good choice for any date. |

Although Notting Hill didn't get much attention from the Oscars (which I must admit, it doesn't really deserve), it is still a very funny movie that is worth seeing. Luckily for it, I do not have the resources to see as many movies as the Academy, and I have all these cool catagories so movies like this have a second chance. As I said before, Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts both put in good performances, combined with a great on-screen chemistry and some very funny supporting characters to make a hilarious and (dare I say) charming date movie. |
