Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a fun romantic comedy
Review: This is a great date movie. This movie has got everything. Its got jokes some of them are a little lame while others are great. Its got a sweet romance, there are some practical wholes in the plot but overall its a fun romantic comedy that you can see with your friends or your date.

Some of the jokes are really gross, and some of them aren't funny, but as the movie progressed they got better. Sean Astin is actually in this movie and I got annoyed that his character talked with a lisp. I get tired of seeing the same cliches in movies like with cliche situations and cliche characters, they didn't overdo it on this movie but I'm just tired of seeing it.

Adam Sandler plays Henry Roth who must win over the girl of his dreams every single day because Lucy played by Drew Barrymore can't remember who he is. So he has to start over every single day. Basically Drew's character has some type of amnesia, so its like a mix between "Groundhog Day" and "While You Were Sleeping" I love this movie because it had comedy and heart in the storyline.

Adam and Drew are great at their roles. I personally loved the ending because it wasn't perfect like in most romantic comedies, it was very unexpected and it still ended very happy.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: 50 First Dates
Review: Veterinatian Henry Roth (Sandler) is a player. He has made a habit of seducing tourists coming to Hawaii, where he lives. That is, until he meets Lucy (Barrymore). After spending a day together, they agree to meet again the next day for breakfast. One problem: when the next day comes, she doesn't remember him! It seems that she was in a car accident that caused her to be unable to retain short term memory. She remembers everything up to the accident, but forgets everything from the previous day. But a funny thing has happened: Henry is genuinely interested in Lucy. He begins to show up for breakfast every day, hoping she will eventually remember him. Sandler and Barrymore have great chemistry together, even better than in their previous effort together, "The Wedding Singer". Sandler's Henry is sweet in his persuit of the forgetful Lucy. There are some plot holes that can be forgiven for a movie of the type, and the end doesn't cheat the audience with an easy solution. And, of course, this is a good date movie for the Valentine's season.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good laughs......
Review: Well after the disaster of Anger Management I was a little worries this one would disapoint also, but in all honesty, it was damn funny!! Some real laugh out loud moments, and you couldn't help but have a smile on your face the whole movie, not mention recalling funny scenes on the way home and laughing about them again....Sandler and Barrymore though the main characters (and very well played) are not the center of the humor as much as Rob Schneider and Sean Astin are pretty hilarious in their parts....

Overall, funny movie, really enjoyed it and will see it again for more laughs!

Summary: Great Great Movie
Review: When you think of the name Adam Sandler, the words "romantic comedy" certainly do not come to mind, but that's indeed what 50 First Dates is. And it's a great one.

Adam plays Henry, a guy unable to commit with any woman, who lives by his own personal philosophy to not date any local girls because that means attachment. Then along comes Lucy. He's literally "blinded by the light" when he first sees her, and you know that after a nice long conversation about fish smells and waffle houses that Henry has met his match. Just one catch-- she'll have no clue who he is the next day.

One of my initial concerns was that there would be no possible way to end this movie gracefully, let alone in a way that would please the audience. The ending is magnificent for what the movie is, and the audience will certainly be pleased.

Adam has certainly found his niche. While his other films offer a whacked out Sandler, this one offers us a sweet and adorable guy that girls are sure to gush over, even with his egg shaped head. I know I did!

Bottom line-- This is a great movie. If you love Sandler-- see it. If you love Barrymore-- See it (she's convincing and cute). And if you love a great romantic comedy-- see it!!! But don't let the words "romantic comedy" scare you away. It's almost hard to class this movie... so see it no matter what!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: HILARIOUS!!!
Review: Just from watching the previews, I knew that it was a good movie. Little did I know that I was wrong. This is the best movie to watch with a boyfriend/girlfriend. It's classic Adam Sandler comedy along with Drew Barrymore charm!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sweet and Funny!
Review: Adam Sandler is known for his laugh out loud gross humor, like in his recent films "Mr. Deeds" and "Anger Manangement." He always seems to play the same type of characters like in those movies as well. They are usually shot by the critics. Even in "Punch Drunk Love" he plays the character, but that was hailed by critics. But then there is "50 First Dates" where he and actress Drew Barrymoore reunite, except it is not your usual Adam Sandler. Normally he is a good natured man, who has a hidden violent temper. But in this movie he shows the sweet side of him. It was a nice change, even though all of his past movies are still great. Sander and Barrymoore first acted together in "The Wedding Singer" and worked well off of each other in that, and in this. Two very talented celebrities working well equals a great movie.

Adam Sandler plays Henry Roth, the kind of guy who likes who go out with a women one day, and then leave them the next day. He works with animals, and likes to hang out with his friend Ula. He doesn't want to settle down with a women, because he has a job to travel to the artic and study the walrus. But in a diner run by Sue and the cook Nick, he meets Lucy Whitmore a beautiful blonde women who spends a mourning with Henry, causing him to fall in love. The plan to have breakfast the next mourning, but when he shows up, she has no idea who he is. Sue tells Henry that she was in a car accident about a year ago, and she suffers from short term memory loss. She remember everythings that happened before the car crash. So everyday she thinks that it is the day of her accident, causing her to do the same thing every single day. With her docotr, Dr. Keats, knowing that there is nothing to cure Lucy, everyday is the same, only she doesn't know that. Her father Martin, and her brother Doug, also go to the extremes to make everything the same each day, except when they find out about Henry's intentions, they become nervous that he will ruin everything that they do everyday. But everyday, Henry falls deeper and deeper into love with Lucy, except that she has no idea who he is 24 hours later. From that point on, he goes to the extremes to try and remind her who he is every single day.

"50 First Dates" has a very funny idea, and the entire film works. There is not even any gross humor, except for the beginning when a walrus vomits on another person. Alot of the comedy comes from Ula, played by comedian Rob Schneider, who has five children, all of them smarter then he is. I liked everything about this movie, except I liked "Anger Manangement" better. This was a comedy, with small dabs of drama added in, except it's needed. It sounds like something that the Farrelly Brother's would do, but its not. It's is a classic Adam Sandler film.

ENJOY!

Rated PG-13 for crude sexual humor and drug references.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Fun Simple Flick
Review: 3 stars

Summary:

A good funny hit... especially since Sandler has toned down his slapstick a bit for more mature comedy.

When Adam Sandler first hit the big screen, I really tried to avoid him. But, as he developed his acting skills a bit, he seems more tolerable, and even enjoyable. The plot and fun script carry things forward, and Sandler and Barrymore develop a good chemistry together.... in fact Barrymore tends to really carry the movie.

Story:
Sandler plays a marine biologist in Hawaii who falls in love Barrymore suffering from short term memory loss due to an accident. Every morning is a new day to her while Sandler gets to know her very well, and tries every dumb idea to help her remember him.

Recommendation:
Go for it if you like playful scripts without much meaning.
