""Henry Roth" (Adam Sandler) meets the girl of his dreams (Drew Barrymore), but she doesn't remember meeting him over-and-over due to a head injury that has destroyed her short-term memory. He falls madly in love with her and gets her family and friends to realize how wrong they are in keeping her reliving the last day she remembers over and over again. This movie is a unbelievable love story with a few laughs. To the best of my knowledge, there is no documented cases of people who lose their memory when they go to bed every night. The only ones who have any character development are Sandler's and Barrymore's. All the others are just there for the most part to advance the amnesia plot. You would think that they would have tried to help her regain her memory instead of a stranger who comes into their lives. Rob Sneider as Sandler's pot-smoking buddy provides most of the laughs, but his character is not in the movie that much and he doesn't really steal any scenes. The chemistry betwe ... "

"Is romance dead? David Carr seems to think so, at least in American cinema (both Hollywood and “Indiewood,” as he inclusively clarifies). While celebrating the subway station meet-cute from the beginning of Milk, a scene he claims to be of an increasingly rare sort, Carr states that American filmmakers “can do romantic pathology and entropy, but the kind of love for the ages, a big-movie kind of love? Not so much.” If you agree with him, blame the back-to-back Best Picture winners Titanic and Shakespeare in Love for feeding us the kind of romance that’s so cheesy it clogs our arteries and gives us a coronary. Left with a burst heart and a lack of quality Nora Ephron movies, most of us have been cynics when it comes to love stories these past ten years. Yet cynics can still be swept off their feet, and American filmmakers h "

"While scarping though yet another barrel’s bottom in attempting to drum up the words to encapsulate yet another Adam Sandler cinematic gastric bypass, I opted to take the higher road and rely on the pre-eminent wit of one Noel Coward for inspiration in slogging through “You Don’t Mess with the Zohan.” His ode to depression, “The Bad Times are Just Around the Corner” accurately sums up just about every filmic experience I’ve had with one Adam Sandler. With the exception of some chuckles in “Happy Gilmore,” I have yet to find a redeeming quality to any of his films. But as each of his subsequent films continue to make box office dollars, I have now relinquished myself to the fact that there I am in the minority and that this comedic abomination is going nowhere soon. So I might as well embrace my disparity, just as the late, great Coward had more than 50 years ago. Ode to Depression (via Adam Sandler)

"I think I enjoy Adam Sandler playing slighty more heartfelt movies...well...Click was pretty terrible..but it seems like he's still got that funny edge, but he's always adding in something serious. Like the ending, which I won't ruin for you, or the part when she first discovers the thing...it's hard to talk about a movie without giving much away. But I liked it. I wouldn't say I LOVED it but it's a cute movie and despite the plot points not all really adding up, the fact that a romantic comedy attempted it gives it points in my book. "

"By Tricia Olszewski 50 First Dates is an Adam Sandler movie. It’s also directed by Peter Segal, the guy who did Nutty Professor II: The Klumps. But those aren’t the least auspicious things about it. In the first few minutes, a sea lion vomits, an androgynous woman repeatedly humiliates herself, and, God help us, Rob Schneider shows up as a glassy-eyed, skimpily clad Hawaiian who stores joints in his ass crack. (When Schneider’s character says, “My life sucks,” you can’t help but agree.) In a montage of his multiculti conquests, veterinarian Henry (Sandler) is introduced as the playa of the islands, an unfeeling cad who romances out-of-towners and then reveals that he’s, say, a CIA agent in order to cut ties with them. (“You can call me, but I’ll be in Peru.”) Thank goodness, both Sandler and the movie grow up after he meets Lucy (Drew Barrymore), a local who lost her short-term memory in an accident on her father’s ...
