"50 First Dates" is delightfully wonderful fun!
"Imagine having to win over the girl of your dreams, every friggin' day.". That's exactly what the tagline of "50 First Dates" suggests to its' audience. This film also suggests it can take a serious medical diagnosis all in good-natured humor, without offending anyone. The dilemma of one Lucy Whitmore (Drew Barrymore) is subject to the above tagline, and this young, good-natured, fun-loving gal must begin a life anew each and every day, as a result of her short-term memory loss, which she sustained in an automobile accident en route to her regular weekly pineapple picking ritual, which Lucy had done with her father prior to her accident. She happens to catch the eye of a young, promiscuous veterinarian (Adam Sandler), whose attempts to get to know Lucy, as well as attempting to help fix her medical condition, garner mixed results, of both the hilarious and tear-jerking variety. Also on board, are Lucy's father (Blake Clark) and brother (Sean Astin), with both of them doing their best to help their daughter/sister cope with her difficult struggle, while becoming more skeptical of Lucy's newfound confidant, Henry Roth (Sandler). Pomai'kai Brown (as Hukilau Cafe Chef), Amy Hill (as cafe owner Sue), Dan Aykroyd (as an M.D.) and Joe Nakashima (as wiseacre Old Hawaiian Man) provide added comic relief, making "50 First Dates" an important must-see film. Rob Schneider's performance as "local boy" Ula, is guaranteed to put a corner-to-corner smile on an awful lot of faces, and Schneider's unforgettable portrayal is one that's definitely not to be missed! The excellent soundtrack (featuring The Beach Boys, Jason Mraz, No Doubt and other acts) is the perfect compliment (and companion) to the movie. "50 First Dates" is your perfect guide to Hawaiian fun and adventure. Tours are currently departing at your local theater. Reserve your seat today, before they sell out in a hurry!
