Product: 50 First Dates (Widescreen Special Edition) (2004)
Rating: 4.0
Good vehicle for stars Sandler and Barrymore
I was actually surprised how funny and mature 50 FIRST DATES was. Sure there is a couple low-brow humor now and then, but the film manages to sneak in a good amount of sweet humor and chemistry for stars Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler, who previously paired in THE WEDDING SINGER.When a commitment free vetinarian Sandler falls for Barrymore in a diner, he learns that she has short-term memory loss from an accident and can't remember him! Desperate Sandler then tries his best to have her remember him, despite disdain from her loving father and dimwitted brother, played by Sam Gamgee, er, Sean Astin from the LORD OF THE RINGS.Anyway, Barrymore and Sandler are the reason why the film is such a hit. These two should do more movies together, because Barrymore's last hit was like ages ago and Sandler's other rotten movies(like LITTLE NICKY AND MR. DEEDS) were no good. They could be the next great screen couple! Part of the reason why they did a good job in this film was because they're really good friends off-screen.Anyway, 50 FIRST DATES is highly recommended for all you Barrymore and Sandler fans.
