Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore return in a sweet rom-com in the Italian sun
After many years, the well-matched couple Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore reunite in In Translation, a romantic comedy that is both funny and adorable, set in the poetic sky of Italy. Sandler plays Jack – a clumsy American tourist who barely understands a word of Italian, gets caught up in a series of awkward situations when lost in a strange land. Luckily, he meets Sofia (Barrymore) – a smart, sharp female translator who is also finding her way.
From bustling festivals, hot spaghetti, to quiet afternoons in golden grape fields, In Translation is a blend of culture, language and emotion. Each misunderstanding between Jack and Sofia not only creates laughter, but also opens up sweet moments, where hearts seem to… understand each other more than words.
The biggest highlight is the charming chemistry between Sandler and Barrymore – something that has made many of their previous films successful. Under the delicate director’s hand, the duo brings a feeling of both familiarity and freshness, making viewers feel like they are witnessing a middle-aged love story, awkward but full of warmth.
Verdict: With the message that love does not need perfect language, just sincere connection, In Translation is an ideal choice for those who love romantic comedies that are gentle, beautiful and full of emotions.
Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5) – A cinematic journey that is both funny and heartwarming.
