Lucy Whitmore (Drew Barrymore) is a school teacher who suffered a traumatic head injury that results in her keeping her long-term memories prior to the accident, but wipes her short=term memories clean every 24 hours.
Roth falls for her, but finds himself having to get her to like him every day... 50+ first dates! Sandler and Barrymore demonstrate a mutual chemistry that makes you believe they like each other! And the secondary characters in this film, from Whitmore´s father and steriod-using brother to
This is a cute romantic comedy, but Adam Sandler´s crude banter got a bit tedious for a character supposed to be tender and supportive. This persona fits him perfectly in, say, Happy Gilmore. However, it is a leap to expect that a philander changes his lifestyle so abruptly. Ah, Hollywood! And there is a strangeness with the secondary characters in this film. Lucy Whitmore´s father and steriod-using brother, as well as the employees at the cafe where Lucy goes every Sunday (and for Lucy, now every day is that Sunday)\) are so caring and protective of Lucy. Henry Roth´s friends, however, are crude or... strange.
Still, it was a fun movie to watch, and the ending is surprising and upbeat.. And summed up by saying Cute, tender... but irritating!. Currently 50 First Dates (Full Screen Special Edition) has an overall rating of 8 over 10.
