50 First Dates
Romantic comedy starring Drew Barrymore as Lucy Whitmore, a beautiful woman suffering from acute short-term memory loss. After a car accident several months before, she has been left with a rare brain condition that causes her memory to be totally erased every night when she goes to sleep. Adam Sandler plays Henry Roth, a vet who works at the aquarium in the Hawaiian resort where Lucy is living a quiet life with her over-protective father (Blake Clark) and goofy brother (Sean Astin).
Henry usually spends his summers seducing a string of female tourists that he'll never see again – but when he meets Lucy he realises he's found something special, and resolves to give up his promiscuous, non-commital lifestyle. The only problem is, when he meets her again the next day, she hasn't got a clue who he is. Henry embarks on an elaborate quest to win her heart, with the help of his stoner best friend Ula (Rob Schneider).
Dan Akroyd makes a cameo appearance as Lucy's doctor.
Critic Reviews:
- " Effective combination of sweet romantic comedy and broad slapstick that often plays like a direct cross between Groundhog Day and When Harry Met Sally. " – Leigh Paatsch
- " …has an unexpected emotional undertow and enough hard-won laughs to make it succeed. " – Cole Smithey
- " A surprisingly good film with a sweet story… " – Felix Vasquez Jr.
