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

one of my fave movies
thank you for shipping me the dvd as soon as possible.. it was really good although there was some scratches from the dvd but i dont mind it coz it is working perfectly fine... thank you

Wonderful Movie
From my wife Sarah: This is one my favorites list, and I've watched it so many times I can't count. Adam Sandler is a player who avoids commitment like the plague. He accidentally meets the girl of his dreams and has a perfect day with her. When he meets her for a date the next day he finds she has no recollection of him and wants nothing to do with him.

He can't help himself - he longs to be with her. So he comes up with ways to make her fall for him every day. He's so hooked, but how can this relationship possibly work? As this is all worked out, this story has laugh out loud moments mixed with intense drama. Adam Sandler is hilarious, and Drew Barrymore has her hilarious moments as well, but there are also some very serious and moving moments. Personally I feel the depth of the script combined with the humor is what makes this such a quality film.

This movie has it all. An unusual premise that I've never seen done before, a great script, fantastic actors, plenty of fun and plenty of drama and heart. It's great to see Adam and Drew together again - they have the same fantastic chemistry that they had in The Wedding Singer. Rob Schneider is also really funny as Adam Sandler's best friend.

This is a movie that I can heartily recommend to everyone, and I feel it's worth owning.

50 First Dates
Great Romantic Comedy for everyone. This is about a player living in Hawaii who has one night stands with the hot women vacationing there. He soon realizes that he wants something more and decides to give up that lifestyle. While eating breakfast he sees Drew Barrymore and its love at first sight. For him. He goes to her table and talks with her and they hit it off right away. They talk throughout breakfast when she realizes she is late for a meeting. They make a date to meet at the same place the next morning. The next morning he shows up and sees her already sitting at the table. He approaches her and sits down. He starts talking and she kinda freaks out saying I don't know you, I've never met you before and runs out of the restaurant. The lady who owns the restaurant explains the situation. She has short term memory loss. She will never remember him. She lives the same day over and over and has been for over a year. He refuses to give up so every day he thinks of different ways to break the ice and talk to her. He tries to get her to love him each and every day. Sometimes it goes well and sometimes it doesn't. He refuses to believe that she isn't starting to remember him when everyone else knows that isn't true and tries to get him to stop wasting his time.
