“That is insane,” the 60-year-old actor replied. “I make mine watch my films every night. If they don’t watch my films, they don’t get fed.” (RELATED: Hugh Grant Says Don’t Expect To See Him In Rom-Coms Anytime Soon: ‘I’ve Gotten Too Old’)

Barrymore’s kids “didn’t respond” to her 2004 rom-com with Adam Sandler, “50 First Dates.” As for the 1999 rom-com “Never Been Kissed,” her kids just “didn’t like [it].”

“They did not like ‘E.T.’ at all,” she told Grant. “They’re just not up for it. Nope.”

“I think I’m going to force them to watch (‘Music and Lyrics’),” Barrymore concluded. “This is like phases of their life. They’ll come around.”
