A Well Done Adam Sandler Film
From the director of Anger Management comes the delightfully hilarious "50 First Dates". Adam Sandler reunites with his"Wedding Singer" co-star Drew Barrymore along with Sean Astin(The Return of the King) and Rob Schneider (The Hot Chick).Henry Roth(Sandler) is a womanizer who looks for a fling then dumps her for the fear of long time commitment.But one day in a restraunt he sees Lucy Whitmore(Barrymore) and falls in love at first sight.He talks to her and it seems he may have found his soulmate.Problem is when he comes in the next day she doesn't seem to remember him.He finds out she has short term memory loss,and then begins the foolish and sometimes hilarious attempts towin her over the next day,and the next day,and the next day.Problem #2 is that her father and her brother(Astin) want him tostay away from their daughter thinking all Henry wants is a one night stand.But Henry refuses to stop making the movie get funnier and funnier until the last 15 minutes when it turns into a happy sappy ending,that makes the movie slow up a little bit.Rob Schneider is hilarious as Henry's friend Ula or something like that.George Wing who wrote the script shows a promising screenwriting career.And also,this is one of Sandler's best films.Not his funniest,but one of his best.Lets hope his nextdrama "Spanglish" can match this.B-
