This is the story of Henry Roth and Lucy Whitmore. Henry is a Vet working at Sea World in Hawaii. He is also a playboy and uses subterfuge to hook up with as many tourists as possible. It's not that he is afraid of commitment but rather he is planning an expedition on a boat he is refurbishing to study walruses in the wild. He plans to be gone for several years. One day Henry ends up at a local diner and meets Lucy. They connect immediately and it seems like a case of love at first sight. The next day when Henry returns for their second date, Lucy acts like she does not know him. It turns out Lucy was in an accident and cannot convert short-term memories into long-term, so when she goes to sleep she forgets what transpired the day before. So Henry sets about a daily task to make Lucy fall for him anew every day.
This is pretty much my favorite rom-com ever. Sandler and Barrymore have such great chemistry together. This movie has plenty of funny parts as well as touching moments that balance each other out nicely. Great and under appreciated film here.
