50 First Dates

Opening Date: Feb 13, 2004 Rated: PG-13 (for sexual humor and drug references) Length: n/a Studio: Columbia

Grade: B
(Review by Sean Conover) Not your standard Adam Sandler fare, but close, it still has touches of pratfalls and silliness, mostly from Rob Schneider's tiresome sidekick routine. Sandler and Drew Barrymore create some good on-screen chemistry, and the story is decent. Sandler is a gigolo who preys on the constant women who visit Hawaii, but is smitten when he sees Barrymore in a local cafe. Unfortunately, her memories only last one day long (the result of an auto accident) so she forgets who he is every morning. The real humor comes mostly from the supporting cast (including a rather silly steroid-ingesting Sean Astin as Barrymore's brother), and the trials of trying to get her to fall in love with him each morning, but Sandler pulls it off. In all honesty, "50 First Dates" was better than I thought it would be.
