...first time DREW BARRYMORE and ADAM SANDLER acted together, they nurtured crushes over Journey songs in that 1980s nostalgia trip The Wedding Singer. Next Valentine's Day the pair co-star in another tale of love and memory--this one about forgetting. In 50 First Dates, Sandler, a veterinarian, falls for Barrymore, a woman with short-term-memory loss, and has to woo her anew every day.

Where I Was From, in fact, is "an exploration into my own confusions about the place and the way in which I grew...
...love to party. Partying is a big element of this and it’s an important thing,” co-chair Dry said. “It’s great there’s a sense of nostalgia. I’m finding it incredible being out of school for 30 years because we don’t think we’re that old. Harvard seems very familiar.” Walking through the familiar brick-paved streets of Harvard Square while donning their “7 H 3” hats, many reminisced about...
