Funny if not memorable

Rating: 7/10 (20 December 2005)

50 First Dates is a funny comedy that doesn't deviate from the Hollywood standard. This makes it a standard comedy that can be appreciated for just that. It's fun to see Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore in their respective roles, since I enjoy both actors in most movies they have done. They are able take the standard dialogue written for this movie and make it somewhat enjoyable because of the interaction of the two actors works. I must also mention that Lusia Strus who plays Alexa is quite funny in her role even though the jokes centered around her is quite predictable. But sometimes, predictable (aka staying safe) can work and it does most of the time in funny ways. A solid enough 7 out of 10.
