romantic fantasy that don't work....
Not being a fan of Adam Sandler, I may sound bit bias here but I thought this film really missed its mark completely. The basic concept was rip-off from Bill Murray's fantastic Groundhog Day but unlike that movie where the plot and characters evolved, in First 50 Dates, nothing changes. The characters remains as they were and things become pretty redundant by the half way point.On a positive side, I thought Drew Barrymore was fantastic and her effort made my wallet felt better as the movie rolled along. Rob Schnieder and the animals at Sea Life Park were far more funnier then Sandler himself who I think was actually trying to act seriously for brief moment or two. I think even Sandler might have been miscast, not for a moment, did I thought he was the Casanova of the Islands as the begining of the movie was trying to tell us.Romantic fantasy at its worst, nothing on the screen was really real or remotely close to being believable. None of the lead characters can pass for a local (outside of Schneider) in Hawaii, they need more tan I think. It was mildly entertaining and worst part is for all those out there who have seen the trailer for this movie....you have just seen almost all the funniest scenes of the movie already!!!
