Drew Barrymore learned firsthand what it’s like to walk in on your teenager watching something unexpected

On an upcoming episode of The Drew Barrymore Show (premiering on November 11), the talk show host, 49, revealed that her daughter was hanging out with Adam Sandler’s daughter, and she caught them watching—wait for it—50 First Dates.

“My daughter and Adam’s daughter were watching 50 First Dates at my house the other night,” Barrymore said (according to Too Fab). “I was like, ‘Why are you guys watching this? Don’t you get enough of me and your dad?’”

Both Barrymore and Sandler have two daughters each. Barrymore shares Olive (12) and Frankie (10) with her ex-husband, Will Kopelman, while Sandler shares Sadie (18) and Sunny (16) with his wife, Jackie.

Although Barrymore didn’t specify which daughters were watching 50 First Dates, my best guess is Olive and Sunny since they’re closest in age. However, all four girls have grown up together, so it could be any combination involving the foursome.

50 First Dates originally premiered back in 2004, and it immediately gained popularity due to its feel-good story (and the on-screen chemistry between Barrymore and Sandler). On a previous episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, she admitted that they filmed an alternate ending that’s never been seen. 

“The original ending was her saying, ‘You should go and live your life, because this is no life here,’” Barrymore explained. “And he goes away, as he does, and he comes back and he walks into the restaurant, and he just sits down and says, ‘Hi, I’m Henry.’ And the film ends.”

I’ve never felt more compelled to watch 50 First Dates
