Clever, Funny and other cliches
The reunion of Sandler and Barrymore works well in this romantic comedy about a girl who was in accident a year ago and has no short term memory as a result. Barrymore's character in other words indefinitely relives the day of her memory loss.Along comes Sandler's character a womanizer who falls in love with Barrymore despite obvious obstacles to their romance.I am not the typical movie viewer that watches many romantic comedies. However I did enjoy the wedding singer and was pleased the chemistry and as importantly comedic timing between Sandler and Barrymore was present in a second movie.The supporting characters add humour to an otherwise morose and depressing premise. The movie deftly massages the heart strings, but when the viewer worries it is going to be really heart-wrenching Rob Schneider or another "bit-player" bails the script out, I attribute this largely to good screen-writing but also to the actors involved. This movie really is the cliched romantic comedy that is funny and heart-warming. 50 First Dates is almost enjoyable despite itself teehee, and a great date movie obviously.
