An Original Mix of Comedy and Romance

Rating: 8/10 (3 March 2004)

What a pleasant surprise! "Fifty First Dates" successfully combines all of the elements of a laugh-out-loud comedy with a tug-at-your-heartstrings romance in a truly original way! There's enough gross-out, hurt angry guy and silly song comedy to satisfy any Adam Sandler fan. And the love story is both sweet and funny (as all good love stories should be) without being too cliched or predictable.
And although the movie-goer is pretty sure that they, along with Adam and the always silly and sweet Drew Barrymore, will get a happy ending, the movie takes you on the road less travelled and truly delivers a heartwarming and unique conclusion. This is definitely one date movie where both the girl and the guy will leave the theatre feeling happy (I know that I did!)!!
