Drew Barrymore and Roland PrestonAdam Sandler's kids are breaking out the waffle houses.

The "Scream" star, 49, revealed on her talk show Monday that her and Sandler's respective daughters recently watched their 2004 romantic comedy "50 First Dates" together.

"My daughter and Adam's daughter were watching it at my house the other night," she said. "I was like, 'Why are you guys watching this? Don't you get enough of me and your dad?' They were just so happy. I was like, 'Oh, but this is so sweet and wonderful.'"

Barrymore added that it was comforting to see her daughter enjoying the film because "your kids will a lot of the time reject so many things about you that when you see them embracing something, you're like, 'Oh, how fantastic.'"

The "Never Been Kissed" actress shares two daughters, Olive and Frankie, with her ex-husband Will Kopelman. Sandler also has two daughters, Sadie and Sunny, whom he shares with wife Jackie Sandler.

Released in 2004, "50 First Dates" starred Sandler as a man who falls in love with a woman with short-term memory loss, so he attempts to woo her each day after she forgets their previous interactions. It was Barrymore and Sandler's second film collaboration following the 1998 romantic comedy "The Wedding Singer." The two actors later worked together again on 2014's "Blended."

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight in February, Barrymore shared that she and Sandler are "so close" and "text all the time." She also told ET her kids like to watch her films, which they call "mom movies."

"It means so much to me when they watch them," she said. "And I never force them. I'm like, 'Are you sure you want to watch this?' They're like, 'Yeah, it's a mom movie. That's what we want to watch.'"

As for watching them herself, Barrymore previously said on her show that she never revisits her own films unless her kids want to see them. In a January Instagram video, though, the actress became emotional after seeing "The Wedding Singer" playing on television, and she even postponed her plans to go to yoga class so she could watch it.

"We made such a good movie," she said, addressing Sandler. "I love you so much. Happy New Year."
