Interesting Premise could have been better

Rating: 6/10 (16 August 2016)

Adam Sandler stars as Henry Roth, the leading man whose womanizing ways change when he falls for a younger girl Lucy Whitmore (Drew Barrymore. The concept of the film is relatively simply but it is quite interesting, how the film could have been (for better or for worse) seems to be cut from the same cloth as the lame line of humor, but the romance story that develops around the idea actually achieves a certain level of charm. A major reason why Adam Sandler comes off fairly well in the film is the rest of the cast simply stay out of Barrymore's way whenever she appears; her effortlessly beguiling performance generates both smiles and genuine poignance. The ending is quite unique but it makes sense in the way. All together, 50 First Dates is a decent watch for Sandler fans, and those of mysterious romantic comedies.
