Although there was not any breadth or depth to their conversation, Drew Barrymore does become aware of something that Adam Sandler struggles with on a day to day basis, his illiteracy. Also, Adam, despite meeting her numerous times before, learns more about her personality including that she is extremely kind and helpful. Also, although Adam does not act in a way which is typically acceptable near the end, it shows that not all relationships follow linear models, such as the Social Penetration Theory, exactly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8381401552229726214.post-57746901283641156972008-02-03T13:59:00.000-05:002008-02-03T13:59:00.000-05:00It's an interesting, non-typical example of Orient...It's an interesting, non-typical example of Orientation Stage. However, I think the characters did learn some facts about each other, e.g., the girl is nice, helping, patient, and non-judgmental, the guy has "reading problems" (although faked). Keep in mind that in the orientation stage, people do disclose bits of themselves, although very superficial.Yifeng Huhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05853668984802797963noreply@blogger.com
