50 First Dates (DVD)

I will start by stating that I am a total Adam Sandler-ite and therefore, this was always going to be a must-see movie. Having said that I went to see the film with my mother-in-law who is, lets say, not one of his greatest fans and she adored it. The great thing about this film is that it has the right mix of comedy, romance and difficulty without getting too deep or emotional...perfect for a sunday afternoon 'swtich your mind off' cinema trip. ...
...afraid of committment and therefore a serial tourist-dater who invents whimsical reasons to break off a relationship when the latest girl is due to go home. Drew Barrymore plays the enigmatic Lucy, who, as Henry is about to find out, lost her short term memory following a car crash and so lives out the same day every day with her father brother and friends making efforts to ensure that everything is exactly as it was on that day (the day before the ...

Review of 50 First Dates (DVD)

This was a very satisfying movie. The actors starring in this movie were Adam Sandler, Drew Barrymore and Rob Schnieder. Adam Sandler plays a marine park vet who falls in love with Lucy (Drew Barrymore) who has lost her short term memory in car accident on the 13th of October (her dads birthday). From that day she gets up and does the same activities day after day still thinking it is the 13th of October. When adam sandler falls in love with this ...
...term memory loss so he gets in a lot of trouble with her dad. Everyday Sandler has to get Lucy to love him over and over again. In the end the two of them get married and have a daughter but she still doesnt remember him or their daughter. this movie has a very good story line and is a very good film but it is not as funny as most movies with Adam Sandler in. The actors in this movie are very good and made a very good movie. One of my favourite parts ...

Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, working together once more, and this time they are in Hawaii.

On first thoughts you may consider this to be a standard Romantic-Comedy with a slushy ending and falling plot, however on this occasion the film was a very pleasant surprise. I am a fan of Adam Sandler but can say he has made some awful films and he is probably running at 60/40 for those I have liked and those I haven’t. This however was very enjoyable and has a great blend of comic moments and your romantic interludes which did not drag on, the ...
...formats, Boy meets girl, boy likes girl boy tries to get girl something goes wrong ends up all good in the end! But if you are a fan of the Rom-Com genre then this is one of the better ones, due to the twist in the story line. Henry (Sandler) does not want a long term relationship and instead prefers the holiday romance with the passing tourists knowing that the relationship will end as soon as they depart, until that is he meets Lucy (played by ...

50 First Dates starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore is one of the funniest romantic comedy's recently made. Henry Roth (Sandler) lives...well, a life in Hawaii, enjoying the comapany of many tourist women, using many disguises so as not to have any strings attched. But that all changes when he meets Lucy (Barrymore). They get on great but soon, Henry finds out that Lucy suffers from short-term memory loss and therefore cannot remember him the ...

I really liked this fim as it was so funny and humerous and was quite random in some places. I love the fact that Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore have been reunited to make this film, as I feel they are a truly great acting partners and seem to really click, bringing the movie to ife as they did in "The Wediing ...

I'm biased, I love Adam Sandler films. In this film, Adam Sandler tries to get Drew Barrymore to fall in love with everyday as she has short term memory loss. Her family have to live the same day everyday as she thinks it's a permanent sunday. Rob Schneider is great as Ula,especially when Drew beats him up. The walrus and the penguin are great too.The first time my daughter saw this she cried when Lucy(Drew Barrymore) came to the realisation that ...

I'm not going to give much away about the story line as after reaing this I hope ypu go amd see it. The main characters in this film are Drew Barrymore(charlie angels) and Adam Sandler (Mr Deeds) who together make a great cast and the acting was brilliant and Adam Sandlew shared with us his brilliant comedy skills.

It took me forever to find this film and I must say that I was not disappointed when I found it, it is a great film with Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler, and although I have not really been a big fan of his he was fantastic in this film. This film is about Marine biologist Henry Roth played by Adam Sandler where he finds the perfect woman, Lucy Whitmore played by Drew Barrymore and he falls head over heels in love for her. The following day when ...
