"The Drew Barrymore Show" host became so invested in the iconic '90s rom-com—which she starred in alongside Sandler—that she wound up sticking around to watch the whole thing.
"It started this morning," Barrymore explained in an emotional Instagram video. "I was supposed to be heading to yoga class, and I'm taking the next later one so I can watch it."
