Great Great Movie
When you think of the name Adam Sandler, the words "romantic comedy" certainly do not come to mind, but that's indeed what 50 First Dates is. And it's a great one.Adam plays Henry, a guy unable to commit with any woman, who lives by his own personal philosophy to not date any local girls because that means attachment. Then along comes Lucy. He's literally "blinded by the light" when he first sees her, and you know that after a nice long conversation about fish smells and waffle houses that Henry has met his match. Just one catch-- she'll have no clue who he is the next day.One of my initial concerns was that there would be no possible way to end this movie gracefully, let alone in a way that would please the audience. The ending is magnificent for what the movie is, and the audience will certainly be pleased.Adam has certainly found his niche. While his other films offer a whacked out Sandler, this one offers us a sweet and adorable guy that girls are sure to gush over, even with his egg shaped head. I know I did!Bottom line-- This is a great movie. If you love Sandler-- see it. If you love Barrymore-- See it (she's convincing and cute). And if you love a great romantic comedy-- see it!!! But don't let the words "romantic comedy" scare you away. It's almost hard to class this movie... so see it no matter what!!!
