50 GREAT DATES!

Rating: 10/10 (13 February 2004)

I just finished watching 50 First dates and I must say that I was overly and pleasently suprised. Although I thought the on screen couple had formiddable charm in The wedding Singer it still seemed like a Adam Sandler film which are usually duds. My expectations weren't very high but they were more than met. The couple display extremely likable, gooey, chemistry and the film is Sandlers best it's heartfelt and more of a romantic comedy than just a dumb comedy. Drew Barrymoore stars as Lucy a young woman whom suffers from short term memory loss after a horrific accident with her father. she is prone to relieve the same day over and over again courtesy of her father and his friend's gimmicks. That is until Sandler enters the picture as a player of women but whom falls for Lucy at first site and doesn't give up when it comes to her disability. Many funny scenes ensue but he learns ways to make her fall in love with him each and every day. These two have sparkling, remarkable chemistry. Individually they give some of their most heartfelt and emotional performances as they struggle day to day with the situation. And the humor which there is alot of is very, very funny and totally on key. The director treats the situation with suprising delicacy and heart. he doesn't teter on juvenile humor but instead embraces the romance as to ask what kind of sacrafices would be made for a perfect love. Rush out and experience an instant romantic classic and by far the best film of the year. 50 first dates is 50 Great dates!!!!
