Sweet and Funny!
Adam Sandler is known for his laugh out loud gross humor, like in his recent films "Mr. Deeds" and "Anger Manangement." He always seems to play the same type of characters like in those movies as well. They are usually shot by the critics. Even in "Punch Drunk Love" he plays the character, but that was hailed by critics. But then there is "50 First Dates" where he and actress Drew Barrymoore reunite, except it is not your usual Adam Sandler. Normally he is a good natured man, who has a hidden violent temper. But in this movie he shows the sweet side of him. It was a nice change, even though all of his past movies are still great. Sander and Barrymoore first acted together in "The Wedding Singer" and worked well off of each other in that, and in this. Two very talented celebrities working well equals a great movie.Adam Sandler plays Henry Roth, the kind of guy who likes who go out with a women one day, and then leave them the next day. He works with animals, and likes to hang out with his friend Ula. He doesn't want to settle down with a women, because he has a job to travel to the artic and study the walrus. But in a diner run by Sue and the cook Nick, he meets Lucy Whitmore a beautiful blonde women who spends a mourning with Henry, causing him to fall in love. The plan to have breakfast the next mourning, but when he shows up, she has no idea who he is. Sue tells Henry that she was in a car accident about a year ago, and she suffers from short term memory loss. She remember everythings that happened before the car crash. So everyday she thinks that it is the day of her accident, causing her to do the same thing every single day. With her docotr, Dr. Keats, knowing that there is nothing to cure Lucy, everyday is the same, only she doesn't know that. Her father Martin, and her brother Doug, also go to the extremes to make everything the same each day, except when they find out about Henry's intentions, they become nervous that he will ruin everything that they do everyday. But everyday, Henry falls deeper and deeper into love with Lucy, except that she has no idea who he is 24 hours later. From that point on, he goes to the extremes to try and remind her who he is every single day."50 First Dates" has a very funny idea, and the entire film works. There is not even any gross humor, except for the beginning when a walrus vomits on another person. Alot of the comedy comes from Ula, played by comedian Rob Schneider, who has five children, all of them smarter then he is. I liked everything about this movie, except I liked "Anger Manangement" better. This was a comedy, with small dabs of drama added in, except it's needed. It sounds like something that the Farrelly Brother's would do, but its not. It's is a classic Adam Sandler film.ENJOY!Rated PG-13 for crude sexual humor and drug references.
