Sandler and Barrymore did it again

Rating: Null/10 (31 May 2004)

Set in Hawaii, this romantic comedy brings you a laid-back, lively atmosphere, although the core of the story is rather simplistic and predictable. Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore successfully collaborated 'The Wedding Singer' and this time they gave it a second try. Personally, I don't think '50 First Dates' is as good as 'The Wedding Singer', even the soundtrack is quite similar to the latter's.
Henry (Sandler) is a vet working in Hawaii and also a womaniser. One day, at a diner, he meets Lucy (Barrymore) and falls in love with her. It turns out that the day after they have a very enjoyable conversation, Lucy doesn't remember Henry at all. Then it is revealed that due to a serious car crash, Lucy suffers from short-term memory loss and can only remember things that take place before the car accident.
Determined to win the girl's heart, now Henry has to start over every single morning to charm her and make her fall for him again.
Not as powerful as 'The Wedding Singer', but Sandler's romantic side is very touching and the chemistry between Sandler and Barrymore works well. Suitable for a depressing rainy day but nothing beyond that. 5/10
