Better than most Adam Sandler and Rob Schnieder Comedies

Rating: Null/10 (2 February 2006)

Billy Madison, Mr. Deeds, The Waterboy, Eight Crazy Nights, The Hot Chick, Surf Ninja: Adam Sandler and Rob Schnieder have been together in a lot of comedies...and in a lot of bad ones too. Even if they were going solo, they still did pretty bad. I remember many of their comedies on "metacritic.com"'s bottom 200 list.
Now they team up again for "50 First Dates." Adam Sandler and Rob Schneider fans were most likely excited, while their haters had low expectations. The Adam/Rob fans most likely loved it, and the Adam/Rob haters most likely got better than they expected.
"50 First Dates" is about a guy named Henry (played by Adam Sandler) who falls in love with a woman (Lucy) with short-term memory loss that lasts about 24 hours. Henry tries to find a way to make Lucy remember him.
The ending is perhaps the sweetest and most romantic moment of the all. Perhaps it can only stand in the shadows of "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," but it's a funny and sweet romantic comedy. It's not as confusing as "Eternal Sunshine," which means it's good for light, relaxed entertainment.
The film is funny and sweet. It doesn't make as many gross and bad jokes as other Adam Sandler comedies. Sure, there are a few bad ones (Such as the person who can't be defined as a man or a woman. Too gross.)but they are quickly revived by some actually good jokes. I liked the scene where Lucy beat up Rob.
And, who is Rob? Well, he plays Henry's Hawaiin friend with a weird eye (I think it's glass.) named Ula.
If you thought Adam and Rob were out of the comedy business, than you should probably see this. It's not "amazing," but a romantic comedy with heart; and that should be enough.
Good: Funny and romantic. It redeems Adam and Rob.
Bad: Oftentimes too gross, and is forgettable, with or without Lucy's memory loss.
