50 FIRST DATES: proof that Sandler is getting better & better!
Love stories that end happily are my favorite kind of movies. But I never thought I'd be saying that about an Adam Sandler movie! This movie was pure entertainment. I laughed hysterically during some parts and cried silently during the emotional scenes - they were tears of joy and I enjoyed every minute of it.This movie is not The Water Boy - thank goodness. It's great to see Sandler stop doing movies mainly targeted to the adolescent male. I got a glimpse of his maturity in Spanglish and also in 50 First Dates. Maybe that's why I loved both movies whereas his earlier movies were not for me. I don't mind a little juvenile humor & goofiness - we're talking about Adam Sandler here after all. But I was surprised to find this movie so warm and endearing.The only teeny-tiny weakness in the movie was Rob Schneider. He over-played his role as usual. Every time he came on-screen, he might as well have looked at the camera and winked! Yup, he's the new Chevy Chase but not as smarmy. Someone should have explained to them both that there's a difference between a SNL skit and getting seriously into a role. This wonderful, funny and heart-warming movie deserved better.50 First Dates is now my favorite Adam Sandler movie and most definitely worth a DVD rental.
