Description of 50 First Dates (Widescreen Special Edition):
With generous amounts of good luck and good timing, 50 First Dates set an all-time box-office record for the opening weekend of a romantic comedy; whether it deserved such a bonanza is another issue altogether. It's a sweet-natured vehicle for sweet-natured stars Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, and their track record with The Wedding Singer no doubt factors in its lowbrow appeal. But while the well-matched lovebirds wrestle with a gimmicky plot (she has no short-term memory, so he has to treat every encounter as their first), director Peter Segal (who directed Sandler in Anger Management) ignores the intriguing potential of their predicament (think Memento meets Groundhog Day) and peppers the proceedings with the kind of juvenile humor that Sandler fans have come to expect. The movie sneaks in a few heartfelt moments amidst its inviting Hawaiian locations, and that trained walrus is charmingly impressive, but you can't quite shake the feeling that too many good opportunities were squandered in favor of easy laughs. Like Barrymore's character, you might find yourself forgetting this movie shortly after you've seen it. --Jeff Shannon
50 First Dates (Widescreen Special Edition) Reviews:
Would have become a decent drama 
2009-09-26 - 50 first dates was one of the big romantic comedies of this year. It contains big actors and it had major marketing behind it. I'm pretty neutral when it comes to Adam Sandler because he has couple of decent comedies but many very bad also. Drew Barrymore has convinced me just once in a good comedy (The Wedding Singer), and that one time she acted with Adam Sandler so I started watching this movie with little expectation. Movie was following pretty normal comedy line. It was made with certain formula, kind a like that it have to please a certain amount of audience. In itself it's not that bad thing, the movie was sometime funny but it didn't bring anything new to the comedy field. Also it shows that makers have to put a brake on some of the jokes just to keep the movie in that certain formula.(when they learn to make movies in more artistic way and less with dollar bills in their eyes --> I bet that the movies would be much better and they would have as much as audience than they have now, or ever more?) But now, back to the review: I found 50 First dates a bit of sad movie. There are couples of things witch made tears in my eyes and made me feel sorry for the character. It might have been better idea to make a drama from the movie because it handles such a `dramatic?' subject. Memory loss might have been a funny idea in a text but at the latest at the filming the makers have understood that it really isn't that funny. So the result is that the movie is little confusing mixing basic Adam Sandler humor to the dramatic things. Somebody should have just leash Sandler and make an effort to make the movie a decent drama. Although movie shows couple of pretty funny characters and couple of over top ones. There are also funny animal jokes and overall the movie runs pretty fluently. Idea of the film is interesting and not so often used. Adam Sandler is making a little tamed version of his usual `goofy' character and is giving an ok performance. Drew Barrymore is a real actress and gives her character a little more deep and realistic interpretation spiced with little sad tone. I liked it. Because this is a `Adam Sandler' movie it of course includes a funny beating scene and Rob Schneider in a funny minor role.
you want some peana butta cups in yo eggs? 
2009-09-16 - overall, this was a pretty good movie. Lucy (Drew Barrymore) suffers from short term memory loss due to a car accident on her father's birthday. every day, she wakes up thinking that it's her father's birthday. Henry (Adam Sandler) is a local marine biologist who is afraid of commitment, so he has sex with tourists, then they go back to the mainland the next day. they meet, henry falls in love with lucy, then the next day she doesn't remember him. Sue (the owner of the restaurant where they meet, and lucy's friend) tells him about lucy's problem. henry is determined to get lucy to fall in love with him every day. i love Ula, henry's local friend. he's really funny. I also love Mr. Tattoo Face ( i forgot his real name, but thats what henry calls him. henry is Mr Peana Butta Cups). Also, i was wondering, is Alexa a guy or a girl? i couldn't really tell.
It can't get any more romantic than this!
2009-09-14 - To be so much in love, to try to get your loved one to fall in love with you again and again every single day... what more can I say? It's all told with Sandler's performance...
Funny
2009-08-31 - This was really fast shipping and seal wrap... seller really has good prices and they have my bussiness again...
Good date movie.
2009-08-10 - Silly and fun, but sweet...this is one of our favorite date night flicks. Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore are great together...the location is awesome...and the animals adorable. Not to mention Rob Schneider is his usual ridiculous self which offers some good laughs;)
