Summary: best movie i've seen all year!
Review: Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore make a great couple! the storyline promises greatness but it's even better! After the intial fun of such a subject (drew's character has no short term memory) they get to the meaningful part of the movie and just makes your heart fly it's so great! A must for everyone!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Adam Sandler movie thus far?
Review: I LOVED this movie! I can't believe I almost missed seeing it in the theaters. It started out with my thinking it was gonna be some movie where Sandler plays a serial dater/woman player. BUT all changes when he meets Drew. This is a great mix of on screen chemistry with romance, comedy, a couple of teary moments from Drew and a happy ending. Who doesn't love a happy ending?? Rent it, Buy it, See it! Oh and if you're worried about it getting bored by Sandler having to repeat the previous days activities with Drew, don't. It's a great way to watch them fall in love and spend 50 first dates.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Parking was Ample.
Review: Why does Adam Sandler keep making movies? He should gracefully return to SNL, rather than continue this horrid experiment. In this one, he's teamed up with Drew Barrymore in a very unfunny attempt to capture some of what they had with The Wedding Singer. It is lost on me. Rob Schneider is about the funny character in this movie, and even that is a stretch. The chemistry between Barrymore and Sandler is terrible, similar to chemistry you'd find on a high school stage.

Essentially, its a romantic comedy without the comedy. OR really the romance for that matter. Barrymore suffers from short term amnesia and Sandler attempts to date her despite this. The best preformance is turned in by a steroid abusing Sean Astin who plays Barrymore's older brother. Sandler is highlighted as the hopeless romantic and creates numerous ways to worm his way into Barrymore's life.

Aside form lacking any particular acting ability, this movie does not even tap into the talents the actors do actually have. Rather than utilize the sight-gags, sarcasm, and slapstick that made Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison great, this movie tried to set up running jokes and scripted humor that just didn't cut it.

There is nothing redeeming about this movie, and if you must see it, wait until it comes out on video. Or see it for the previews. There were a few interesting movies coming out, and the trailers definitely highlighted this experience for me. Not worth the [money] I spent on tickets, popcorn, and soda. Or take your [money] and go see something else. That's the best advice you could get. I mean, consider the sappy ending to Anger Management (the proposal in the ballpark, that seemed tacked on? Come on, you know what I'm talking about), and that's what you have for an hour and a half.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Funny and Cute
Review: 50 First Dates is a cute love story. I really thought it was funny .... especially the scenes with the animals (Sandlers character works in a Marine Animal center). Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler are great together. It is very touching to see how Sandler's character keeps trying to romance Drew's character, as he comes up with all sorts of different ideas. This was a very enjoyable movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Movie I have seen in a while
Review: This was a wonderful movie. It is the best i have seen in quite a while. the story is very origional, and it has the perfect balance of silly jokes and seriousness. i realize that the movies are expensive...but this one is worth the money. the music is also very good.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: save your money!
Review: As an avid movie goer, this just about changed me to a non movie goer. The lesson I learned was to pay a little attention before dropping your money into a "maybe it might be good because Adam Sandler is in it". movie. Boy was I wrong! This is not even worth renting! Bad,Bad,stupid,poor writing, acting,filming , generally it sucked!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "50 First Dates" is delightfully wonderful fun!
Review: "Imagine having to win over the girl of your dreams, every friggin' day.". That's exactly what the tagline of "50 First Dates" suggests to its' audience. This film also suggests it can take a serious medical diagnosis all in good-natured humor, without offending anyone. The dilemma of one Lucy Whitmore (Drew Barrymore) is subject to the above tagline, and this young, good-natured, fun-loving gal must begin a life anew each and every day, as a result of her short-term memory loss, which she sustained in an automobile accident en route to her regular weekly pineapple picking ritual, which Lucy had done with her father prior to her accident. She happens to catch the eye of a young, promiscuous veterinarian (Adam Sandler), whose attempts to get to know Lucy, as well as attempting to help fix her medical condition, garner mixed results, of both the hilarious and tear-jerking variety. Also on board, are Lucy's father (Blake Clark) and brother (Sean Astin), with both of them doing their best to help their daughter/sister cope with her difficult struggle, while becoming more skeptical of Lucy's newfound confidant, Henry Roth (Sandler). Pomai'kai Brown (as Hukilau Cafe Chef), Amy Hill (as cafe owner Sue), Dan Aykroyd (as an M.D.) and Joe Nakashima (as wiseacre Old Hawaiian Man) provide added comic relief, making "50 First Dates" an important must-see film. Rob Schneider's performance as "local boy" Ula, is guaranteed to put a corner-to-corner smile on an awful lot of faces, and Schneider's unforgettable portrayal is one that's definitely not to be missed! The excellent soundtrack (featuring The Beach Boys, Jason Mraz, No Doubt and other acts) is the perfect compliment (and companion) to the movie. "50 First Dates" is your perfect guide to Hawaiian fun and adventure. Tours are currently departing at your local theater. Reserve your seat today, before they sell out in a hurry! Perfectly suitable for your video & DVD collection (coming soon)!

Summary: BETTER THAN I EXPECTED...
Review: I USED TO LOVE ADAM SANDLER BUT HE HAS GOTTEN STUPID AND GROSS LATELY. I WAS ESPECIALLY DISAPPOINTED IN "EIGHT CRAZY NIGHTS". LOTS OF THROWING UP AND BOWEL MOVEMENT ACTION MADE ME THINK HE HAS REALLY LOST HIS TOUCH ON COMEDY IF THAT IS STILL FUNNY...
THIS MOVIE DOES HAVE ONE VOMIT SCENE, BUT PICKS UP AS THE MOVIE GOES ON. A VERY SWEET MOVIE AT THE END. SEAN ASTIN WAS REALLY GREAT!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: So Cute!
Review: I thought this would be just another funny movie with Drew and Adam like "The wedding singer"...but it was much more. There are a few serious parts where I actully felt teary eyed. Adam and Drew are hilarious but still shot a few serious scenes. Sean Astin is so funny!! I thought this movie was great!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great movie-check it out when you get a chance!!!
Review: This movie was dedicated to Adam Sandler's father. If you watch the movie, it is after the credits at the end of the movie. Adam wrote a dedication page about this movie & his father. Very touching & very neat. I thought that should of been before the movie started, that way more people would get to see that part. We were the only ones left in the theater watching credits. Not that many people watch the credits anymore.

Rob--Drew--Adam did a great job with this movie. We loved Willie the penguin & the Walrus. The dolphins were great as well. Since he was a marine biologist. He worked very well with the Walrus & the penguin. Very cute & very funny.

Very funny & will definately purchase this movie when it is available. This movie will make you laugh. Really enjoyable movie to watch. Has some sad parts when Drew can't remember what happened just yesterday.

If you get a chance, check it out, you won't be disappointed. This movie will make you laugh & have a good time. That what a good comedy movie is all about. Great movie--two thumbs way up!!
You will want to watch this movie again & again. Very enjoyable.
