Genre: Comedy, Romance

Cast: Adam Sandler, Drew Barrymore, Rob Schneider, Sean Astin, Dan Aykroyd

Director: Peter Segal

The film is a comedy which deals mostly with the well-known topic of women who are looking for commitment and men who are not; and the characters go around saying that when don’t pick up the phone, or don’t want to get married, it’s not that they want to play tough, they simply don’t like you that much.

Jennifer Aniston, Scarlett Johansson, Ben Affleck, Drew Barrymore…these are just a few of the great actors starring in this film. It doesn’t seem strange that Aniston is again playing in a movie of this type; even when she plays in some other kinds of movies, her character will always be the one to talk about marriage, kids and commitment…

The film is trying to demonstrate that not all women have as main goal in life getting married and having children, and not all men run away from that…..
