50 First Dates review
I fell in love with the movie, 50 First Dates while lying on my hospital bed. I saw how Adam Sandler jumped through hoops for Drew Barrymore despite her condition and it gave me hope. The film 50 First Dates directed by Peter Segal was made in 2004. Featuring Adam Sandler, Drew Barrymore, and Kevin James. The plot of the film focuses on a romance between "Lucy" who suffers from memory loss and "Henry," who is a funny sailor who also manages an aquarium. The theme of the plot was romance and comedy. The movie has a lot of funny actors like Sean Astin, Rob Schneider, Maya Rudolph, and Allen Covert. The main Characters were Lucy (Drew Barrymore) and Henry (Adam Sandler). The main conflict if the film was protagonist vs self because Lucy is angry with herself for not being able to remember anything from after the day she lost her memory.
First Henry is introduced as a humoris "player" who is also an aquatic veterinarian. Henry meets Lucy at a cafe in Hawaii, they both hit it off and exchange contact information to meet again in the future. The film then introduces Lucy's at home life with her brother, Doug and father, Marlin. They show how Doug and Marlin have to "reset" the day after Lucy goes to sleep, the film later explains that Lucy lost her memory due to a car accident that both Lucy and Marlin were in on the day of her dad's birthday. Henry sees Lucy again, at the same cafe but is startled when Lucy does not remember him. Henry then finds out about Lucy's memory loss through Doug and Marlin. This doesn't change how Henry feels about Lucy, infact Henry decides that he will try to "woo" Lucy everyday to make her fall in love with him all over again.
Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler have a real tv chemistry that makes the audience fall in love with Henry and Lucy even more. The 2 also play as an romantic couple in the 2014 film, "Blended." Adam Sandler brings the humor to the film with his funny bestfriend Ula, played by Rob Schneider. Drew Barrymore totally crushed the role of Lucy! The way she acted as though her memory had been erased was very convincing. The film based in Hawaii the visuals show a lot of beaches and Palm trees which makes the film feel more romantic.
This film brings you on an emotional rollercoaster, a lot of laughter and smiles, but also tears. The film also really makes you reevaluate yourself and appreciate what you have. Overall the film leaves all audiences with the same question; "what would I do in either Lucy or Henry's shoes?"
