Her moment of revelation on the dock when she realizes that her brother (Sean Astin in a role that jeopardizes any acting credibility he might have gained playing Sam in The Lord of the Rings) and father have been humoring her every day that it is still the day she thinks is, belongs to an entirely different movie than this one. She brings a sweet vulnerability to her role that transcends the crass humor so prevalent in the rest of the movie. What charm this movie does possess comes completely from Drew. The end result is a movie that won't fully please either fans of Romantic Comedies or fans of Sandler's lowbrow earlier work. It's as if the filmmakers are trying to make a romantic comedy that doesn't alienate the adolescent boys who make up much of Sandler's fan base. The humor runs along the lines of a Walrus puking in someone's face, Rob Schneider's character dressing up as a woman and pretending to lick his own coconut covered breasts, and the running gag about the size of a Walrus's penis. While that is a premise ripe with possibilities, it is never fully explored because in between the romance are the scenes you've probably come to expect if you've watched any of Sandler's previous work. Each and every day then becomes a challenge to make her re-fall in love with him.

The simple plot being that Henry (Sandler) meets Lucy (Barrymore) only to discover that because of a head injury she suffered in a car accident, she wakes up with no memory of the day before.

Instead of a man experiencing the same day over and over again, you have a woman waking up and thinking it's the same day over and over again. You could think of 50 First Dates as Groundhog Day in reverse. However, while 50 First Dates does have its romantic side the comedy stoops too low in its attempt to get a laugh and so fails to match up with The Wedding Singer as a romantic comedy. Because of this, I looked forward to seeing 50 First Dates, since it reunites him with The Wedding Singer's leading lady Drew Barrymore. It is the sweetest of all his movies, and the one with the least amount of childish humor. The Wedding Singer is, without a doubt, the Adam Sandler movie that I enjoyed the most. Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler in 50 First Dates.
