Surprisingly good

Rating: 7/10 (30 August 2004)

I am not a big fan of Sandler's movies, most of his stuff I find too over the top and sometimes even cruel. So I was pleasantly surprised to enjoy "50 First Dates" so much. The only other movie of his I liked was "The Wedding Singer", which also starred Sandler and Barrymore. I guess that is the recipe I need for a Sandler movie - add Barrymore. They have very good chemistry on the screen.
"50 First Dates" was funny - of course. But it was also touching and warm. Also liked Rob Schneider, as Sandler's friend he was funny and outlandish. The guy just cracks me up.
Not an outstanding movie, but it's entertaining and fun to watch. I felt good after watching it - that's enough. I give it a 7 (out of 10).
