Adam Sandler Back to Romantic Comedy, Maybe with Drew Barrymore

[CEITEDMOFO]

Last fall we learned that Adam Sandler was going to star in Ridiculous 6, a western comedy that seemed like it was probably a riff on The Magnificent Seven. However, it sounds like that project will have to wait as Deadline reports Sandler has instead decided to take on a romantic comedy again at Warner Bros. with his Happy Madison banner producing. The untitled film is coming together quickly, but it doesn't yet have a director. Sandler will star in the film, and while a female lead is still being locked down, his co-star Drew Barrymore from The Wedding Singer and 50 First Dates has been approached for the role. More below!

However, apparently there are some other unnamed actresses in the running, so anything can happen. As for the story, it follows a couple who has a disastrous blind date and somehow find themselves stuck together in a resort for families, each with their kids from a previous marriage in tow. But as you would expect, what begins as a tumultuous encounter turns into a budding romance. The project has been sitting at Warner Bros. since 2007 with a script from TV writers Ivan Menchell and Clare Sera. Considering Sandler's work with Barrymore has resulted in some of his better films, this could be good.

Some of his better movies of late have been romantic comedies. Most of the other stuff he does is so bad I won't watch. The Jennifer Aniston joint was solid.

For a guy who gets shytted on by critics for his lack of acting skills (though he's much better than given credit for) Sandler has had damn near a 20 year career making hits. So he has definitely been doing something right.
