Henry Roth - played by Adam Sandler - works at a Hawaiian Sea World park as a marine biologist. He enjoys the company of women and spends his time picking up tourists - but the...
more...flings rarely last past the morning. One day, whilst eating breakfast at a local eatery, he sees Lucy - played by Drew Barrymore - and strikes up a friendship. They become firm friends immediately and agree to meet the next day. Unfortunately when the next day arrives, Lucy can't remember ever meeting Henry and he soon discovers that, following an accident, she suffers from short term memory loss. Her family and friends help by recreating the same day over and over. To Henry, Lucy is worth the effort, so every day he has to woo her again and again and trust that she falls in love with him every time.

Fun In The Sun
Review of 50 First Dates (DVD) by JayHall1991

Advantages: DREW BARRYMORE !!!!!!!!!! Funny and whimsikal
Disadvantages: Everything else

50 First Dates, works on the basis that everybody lives in Hawaii, everybody has jobs they love. All the scenery is beautiful; you can just go and lie on the beach after joyful work, and no matter what nasty things happen to you, they all become recovered in the end. If you watch this with that attitude you should have a right laugh. It’s a happy, fun romantic comedy. With two of my favourite actors in! The Story Henry Roth is a vetenerian, who ... Read review

Aloha!
Review of 50 First Dates (DVD) by drewboy

Advantages: Drew Barrymore, easy to watch.
Disadvantages: Characterisation, cheap gags, some stereotypes.

Life is good for Henry Roth. He is a successful vet at a sea life centre in Hawaii, with his charm and winning smile he has the pick of the visiting tourist out for a holiday romance and is looking forward to the day he can set sail on his boat to study his beloved sealife in their natural habitat. With this in mind, he steers a wide berth from any kind of commitment, preferring to tell his conquests wild stories about what he actually does for a ... Read review

Review of 50 First Dates (DVD) by ally2kc

Advantages: Sweet, tender, funny
Disadvantages: some actors aren't used as well as they could be

...hour. Channel Five was showing 50 first dates - a perfect easy Sunday film that wouldn't make me think too hard. I wasn't expecting much although I remembered the Wedding Singer and the fantastic chemistry between Sandler and Drew so assumed at worst it would make me smile slightly.

There is Nothing like a First Kiss!
Review of 50 First Dates (DVD) by VickyVickster

Advantages: Drew Barrymore, Adam Sandler,feel good movie, very romantic
Disadvantages: All of the above may be disadvantages for some people!

...completely overwhelmed by the information. 50 first dates is funny. Nope scratch that it is hilarious! I will admit some of the humour is a bit childish and silly but hey we all need to be a bit silly now and then don’t we? A lot of the humour is aimed at Ula who is played by Rob Schneider who you will recognise if you’ve seen any of Sandler’s other movies. Ula is the character you will either love or love to hate. He’s a seemingly crazy local ... Read review

Aloha - 50 First Dates - A Fab Film!
Review of 50 First Dates (DVD) by surfchik27

Advantages: Will make you feel fuzzy inside, very funny and value for money.
Disadvantages: None

50 First dates is a feel-good film. It falls into the RomCom genre but this shouldn't put any guys off watching this. Anyone whose seen The Wedding Singer will already know that the on screen comedy timing/chemistry between lead characters Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler is a must see and it's repeated in this film! What's it about ***************** This Peter Segal directed film opens with a montage of suntanned women (and a man) recounting ... Read review

"Forgetful Lucy"
Review of 50 First Dates (DVD) by bubbletown

Advantages: A tale of romance with two likeable character, cute penguin and beautiful locations.
Disadvantages: Walrus vomit which seems to go on and on.

Henry, is popular with the pretty holidaying tourists and has plenty of brief flings but doesn’t commit because of his 10 year plan to study the underwater life of walruses in Alaska.

Hawaii Oh Oh
Review of 50 First Dates (DVD) by christianfilmcritic

Advantages: Drew Barrymore being very cute
Disadvantages: Sandler's character is quite annoying

That is until he meets local girl Lucy (Drew Barrymore) and immediately falls head over heels in love with her. The only trouble is Lucy has a rare illness which when she wakes ... Read review

Too much effort for my liking
Review of 50 First Dates (DVD) by jonesri

Advantages: Good onscreen chemistry
Disadvantages: not exactly ground breaking

This is a film that my missus has been waiting to see for ages so in an effort to win some brownie points (not that I need any of course) I added this to my Blockbuster list. Sure enough it is one of the first films I was sent, much to my girlfriends delight. What better way to spend a cold Saturday night than settling down in front of a romantic comedy with a bottle of vodka and a pack of Stella? I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. ** Background ...

Sandler Circles in the Sand
Review of 50 First Dates (DVD) by REDF

Advantages: Drew Barrymore, a penquin and a walrus!
Disadvantages: Rob Schneider and a lack of comedy

The opening sequence introduces us to various ladies from various backgrounds and cultures relating various encounters of varying magnitudes of pleasure to various friends and colleagues following their paradise holiday in Hawaii. This is handled superbly well and with great humour and bodes well for the remainder of the movie - we are after all only two minutes in. The gushing enthusiasm toward this mysterious beau is intriguing, as he for ... Read review

IMAGINE having 50 first dates!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review of 50 First Dates (DVD) by Jonni_boi

Advantages: great acting
Disadvantages: a bit questioning

...films. These 2 films were 50 First Dates and Maid in Manhattan. They were both only £5 each so it was definitely worth it, according to both my mom and Woolworths. This film follows a girl called Lucy, who had a very fatal car accident, and she is diagnosed with amnesia, so every single day she thinks that it's the day of her accident. However, this person called Henry, is new in Hawaii and meets her one day, at a cafe. He doesn't know she has ... Read review

Review of 50 First Dates (DVD) by etala

Advantages: Sweet, easy and very entertaining!
Disadvantages: Throwaway Rom-Com but it's a goodie!

Imagine waking every day believing you were at exactly the same point in time, not being able to remember what you did yesterday, the people you met, the places you went to. Imagine being told every day that you suffered a terrible car accident that has left you without any short term memory. Well that's the life sentence that has been dished out to pretty Hawaiian school teacher Lucy Whitmore and no matter what the efforts of her loving father and ... Read review

Hula Ula is a Foola
Review of 50 First Dates (DVD) by afy9mab

Advantages: It's okay...
Disadvantages: ...it's just not great, even if Rob Schneider takes a beating

Henry Roth is a commitment-phobe vet based in Hawaii, who spends his time bedding tourists. But one day he meets local girl Lucy. They hit it off and he can’t wait to see her again. The only problem is that Lucy has no short-term memory and the next time she sees him, she can’t remember having met him before. So Henry has to make her fall in love with him every time they meet. Just what the world needs, another romantic comedy. There seem to be ... Read review

Sandler surprises and scores a hit!
Review of 50 First Dates (DVD) by aussiejoe

Advantages: Good romantic comedy with an interesting storyline
Disadvantages: A little childish at times

I'll admit straight away that for one reason or another I'm not a massive fan of Adam Sandler. I've found his portrayal of characters in some films a little over the top and annoying (the stupid voices in 'The Water Boy' and 'Little Nicky' for example). So when I was dragged along to the cinema one night by some friends who actually do like Adam Sandler to see his new film which, from one trailer that I had seen on TV, appeared to be another of his ...

50 ways to fall in love.
Review of 50 First Dates (DVD) by craggsy23

Advantages: Fantastic hilariously funny film, yet touching story.
Disadvantages: None

50 First Dates 50 First Dates is a fantastic movie that I very nearly didn't rent but am I very glad that I did. Picture us on a saturday night and the kids are in bed and we have a bottle of red wine. Okay the scene is set, so off we go: Henry Roth played by ADAM SADLER, is a vet at an aquarium in Hawaii. He is renowned for his womanizing and one night stands with tourists. The opening scenes show lots of women simultaneously talking about ... Read review
