Carefully reconstructing her sunrise ritual of waffles and coffee, they handle her with kid gloves and are none too happy when Henry starts showing an interest in her. The staff and customers at the local diner where Henry firsts meets Lucy are also in on the deception.
Then Lucy never has to face the fact she can’t remember a thing beyond that afternoon, including the accident. Every night the two men faithfully reset the stage so that they can play out the events of the ill-fated day. Now her loving and probably guilt-ridden father (Blake Clark) cares for her with the help of her lisping, muscle-bound brother (Sean Austin), who appears to be developing his own form of brain damage by using steroids. While appearing perfectly normal, Lucy’s short-term memory is erased every night during sleep, making her believe that each new day is the morning of the mishap. The disorder is the result of an accident, which happened months earlier when she and her father nearly sideswiped a cow before wrapping their jeep around a tree. The perky blonde lives across the island and suffers from a severe brain injury. Then he meets Lucy Whitmore (Drew Barrymore). Unwilling or unable to make a commitment, he wants relationships purely for self-gratification, and for the vicarious pleasure the encounters seem to give his sex-obsessed, drug-using cousin, Ula (Rob Schneider). After hours, he scans the sun-bathed beaches for tourist babes he can bed and then abandon. Sandler’s screen persona is Henry Roth, a charming aquatic vet on the island of Oahu. The film’s endless obsession with crude pet names for the male anatomy and sexually suggestive comments would account for that many objections alone. 1.After sitting through Adam Sandler’s latest movie, I could think of at least 50 reasons not to recommend it. Read on for the nine major reasons that I won’t watch 50 First Dates ever again. But time and distance have shown me that 50 First Dates is loaded down with problems that are too big to ignore. Drew Barrymore does a terrific impression of actual sunshine Adam Sandler is at his most charming and the theme beyond the conceit - that loving someone means making sure that they know that, every single day - is actually pretty sweet. I admit that I saw 50 First Dates in theaters and enjoyed it. Henry Roth (Sandler), a womanizing veterinarian intent on getting her to remember him.
(Fortunately, she suffers from an illness that was just made up for the film, so don't worry about this happening to you.) She lives a blissfully ignorant existence until she meets Dr. Her short-term memory was damaged irreparably in a car accident, and she can’t hold onto any memories that occur after that date. Sandler and Barrymore’s involvement had to have had a lot to do with it, because the set-up is beyond absurd: Barrymore plays Lucy Whitmore, a woman who wakes up with amnesia every single morning. This movie has the kind of plot that makes you wonder how it made it through studio vetting all the way to a greenlight.
Hoping lightning would strike twice, the two play another destined-to-be couple in the 2004 romantic comedy 50 First Dates. Appearing together first in 1998 in The Wedding Singer, Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore won audiences over with their playful, innocent chemistry.
