Drew Barrymore Says This Movie Helped Bond Her Daughter With Adam Sandler's

Barrymore, who has starred opposite Sandler in three films since 1998, said the moment was "so sweet and wonderful."

Drew Barrymore is sharing a moving moment involving her daughter and 50 First Dates .

While the 2004 rom-com left critics cold , Barrymores onscreen reunion with Adam Sandler  was so successful that it grossed nearly $200 million  and perhaps more importantly led to a touching parent-child moment for Barrymore a full 20 years later.

My daughter and Adams daughter were watching it at my house the other night and I was like, Why are you guys watching this? Like, dont you get enough of me and your dad? Barrymore said Monday on her eponymous talk show . And they were just so happy.

I was like, Oh, but this is so sweet and wonderful, she continued.

Fans of the two actors, who also co-starred in 2014s Blended, were certainly smitten.

Love these 2 Together! I even enjoyed Blended. I dont care what anyone says, Blended was Awesome, one person wrote Monday on social media . Another fan commented simply : Awww.

Barrymore shares two daughters, 12-year-old Olive and 10-year-old Frankie, with her ex-husband Will Kopelman . (Its not clear which of her daughters she found watching the movie.) Sandler and his wife Jackie share two daughters , Sunny, 16, and Sadie, 18.

50 First Dates reunited Sandler and Barrymore after the 1998 hit The Wedding Singer , and centered on a playboy (Sandler) who falls in love with a sun-soaked art teacher (Barrymore) who has anterograde amnesia and cant remember a single day after the accident that caused it.

50 First Dates went on to win a 2004 MTV Movie Award for Best On-Screen Team.

The film seemed to come up organically Monday when Barrymores guest, Young Sheldon star Emily Osment , said she sobbed after recently watching it for the first time. She told Barrymore it must be comforting to find her daughter enjoying one of her pictures.

It is! Barrymore exclaimed. Because your kids will, a lot of the time, reject so many things about you that when you see them embracing something, youre like, Oh, fantastic!
