| Both Sandler and Barrymore will be returning to familiar ground in the hope of reviving acting careers that have slipped into fallow territory. Sandler is a regular Razzie winner but, unusually, his most recent comedy, That's My Boy, also fared poorly at the box office, while Barrymore hasn't headlined a financially successful movie since the 2007 romcom Music and Lyrics opposite Hugh Grant. She did, however, make a successful foray into directing with the well-received roller derby comedy Whip It in 2009 and was part of the ensemble for the box office hit He's Just Not That Into You the same year. | Both Sandler and Barrymore will be returning to familiar ground in the hope of reviving acting careers that have slipped into fallow territory.
