 50 First Dates  

 

Henry Roth (Sandler), the local marina veterinarian, only dates tourists because he's afraid of commitment - that is, until he meets Lucy (Barrymore). Unfortunately, Lucy lost her short-term memory months ago in a car accident, and for her, each day is October the 13th. She follows the same routine every day - breakfast at the same restaurant, pineapple-picking with her dad, and eventually bed time, where sleep wipes away her short-term memory. Henry, however, refuses to be forgotten, and as his puppy love matures, he embarks on a quest to restore her memory, or at least be a part of her everyday routine. But vying for Lucy's attention isn't always easy. Henry explores various approaches before making a video for Lucy to watch every morning, reminding her of who she is and what she's doing...

30 out of 100 Not quite up to scratch.
Una from Dublin, 30 Jun 2007
From funnyman Sandler, I expected better. The Wedding Singer shows an infinitely better pairing from two people used to comedy - we've seen them do it before, but they didn't quite hit the mark this time. Touching in places, definitely amusing, but not something I'd wear the DVD out watching.

Francis from Dublin, 20 May 2007
Mild, romantic comedy. Entertaining enough without being hilarious. Funniest bit is Drew Barrymore whacking the guy with the baseball bat proving once more that pain is always funny.

Cecilia from Kildare, 18 Jun 2008
Great chemistry between the actors in this film. The bit with the sea-lion in the aquarium was soooo funny. I love Sandler and Barrymore anyway and they both play the loveable loser so well. Would recommend a watch.

Nikki from Kerry, 08 May 2008
Thought it was going to be lame, but it was actually really funny. And 311 does a pretty decent cover of "Lovesong" by the Cure that plays in the credits. Pluuuuussss who doesn't like Walruses?
