Scatological and sentimental, satirical and sincere, 50 FIRST DATES pairs Adam Sandler with Drew Barrymore in this romantic comedy about the power of love and short term memory loss in Hawaii. Henry Roth Sandler, the local marina veterinarian, only dates tourists because hes afraid of commitment that is, until he meets Lucy Barrymore. Unfortunately, Lucy lost her short term memory months ago in a car accident, and for her, each day is October the 13th. She follows the same routine every day breakfast at the same restaurant, pineapple picking with her dad, and eventually bed time, where sleep wipes away her short term memory. Henry, however, refuses to be forgotten, and as his puppy love matures, he embarks on a quest to restore her memory, or at least be a part of her everyday routine. But vying for Lucys attention isnt always easy. Sandler explores various neophytic approaches before making a video for Lucy to watch every morning, reminding her of who she is and what shes doing. The film includes a trademark Sandler ballad as Henry serenades Lucy with his ukulele and a series of familiar salacious puns. Rob Schneider plays Henrys best friend, a goofy native stoner whose physical hijinks earn numerous laughs, and a cameo by Dan Akroyd as Lucys doctor rounds out the cast. Copyright C Muze Inc. 2005.
