50 First Dates (DVD) ... released 15 June, 2004 at Columbia TriStar / Features of the DVD: AC-3, Anamorphic, Closed-captioned, Colour, Dolby, Dubbed, DVD-Video, Special Edition, Subtitled, Widescreen, NTSC / 50 First Dates is a sweet-natured vehicle for sweet-natured stars Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, and their track record with The Wedding Singer no doubt factors in its lowbrow appeal. But while the well-matched lovebirds wrestle with a gimmicky plot (she has no short-term memory, so he has to treat every encounter as their first), director Peter Segal (who directed Sandler in Anger Management) ignores the intriguing potential of their predicament (think Memento meets Groundhog Day) and peppers the proceedings with the kind of juvenile humour that Sandler fans have come to expect. The movie sneaks in a few heartfelt moments amidst its inviting Hawaiian locations, and that trained walrus is charmingly impressive, but you can't quite shake the feeling that too many good opportunities were squandered in favour of easy laughs. Like Barrymore's character, you might find yourself forgetting this movie shortly after you've seen it. --Jeff Shannon

This is an enjoyable film quite simply. MAny would say its a chick flick, either way its a happy funny, with moments of frustration and definately one of the better films of its genre out there. Its not one of those sidesplitting movies, but at the same time its not one of those films that are so mushy and gooey and romantic, its got good balance and its definateyl worth watching and if your a fan of sandler even ...

50 First Dates is another classic with the top pairing of Drew Barrymore & Adam Sandler. If you liked the Wedding Singer then this is the film for you! Rob Schneider adds to the comedy and there are loads of hilarious scenes which should have you laughing from start to finish. Although I would initially say that this is a chick flick do not be put off if your a bloke and just want something easy going to ... Read the complete review

Yet another American romantic comedy, but this one is really very good much better than I expected. Henry (Adam Sandler) meets Lucy (Drew Barrymore) in a cafe one morning and arranges to meet her there the following morning, what he doesnt realise is that Lucy suffers from short term memory loss and over night loses her memory. Not usually my cup of tea but I really enjoyed this film, has a nice twist to it which gives it a bit more depth than you can usually expect from this genre. Also it is very very funny. Definately a film worth buying because it is one you can watch more than once. Not just another Chick flick romantic ... Read the complete review

Despite the fact this film was made in 2004 - making it 7 years old, it is a classic along with others such as The Notebook. This romantic comedy starring Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler is one of my favourites and nearly always on! I am not really into films in a big way, but I do adore my rom-com's as horror films seem to scare me a lot more than they should and others just bore me to tears! 50 first dates was brought for me as a birthday present about 2/3 years a go and it hasn't sat on the shelf for long since. It is such a funny film and the story is quite different to any you've seen before. I enjoyed it right to the last second as you never really know ... Read the complete review

'50 First Dates' was produced in 2004 and stars Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler. It is a romantic comedy, and quite a good one at that! The entire film is set in Hawaii - so not only is it great fun to watch, but it has a breathtaking backdrop too! So, as far as movies go, I am way behind in terms of watching all the films I'd like to see. Therefore I only watched '50 First Dates' last weekend, despite it being produced 7 years ago! Now that I've watched it, I wish I hadn't waited so long - it was funny, had a great original storyline, and kept momentum until the end. Drew Barrymore plays the character of a girl called Lucy Whitmore. Lucy is bubbly, ... Read the complete review
