Watch "50 First Dates"
Take a little "Memento," Add a generous helping of "Groundhog Day,"
and
even a little of "Sommersby" and you have "50 First Dates". Drew Barrymore
and Adam Sandler create a synergy that neither has been able to capture with
anyone else. Together, they produce a romantic team comparable to Gere and
Roberts, Day and Hudson, Grant and Loren and Tracy and Hepburn. My wife and
I watch "The Wedding Singer" at least once a year. While "50 First Dates" is
a superior movie, I don't know if I can take the melancholy ending again.- 50 First Dates - (MILOYSKI)

For once I'm grateful for the Khamakazee antics of Sandler's acting ensemble, particulary Sean Astin and Rob Schneider. If Schneider wasn't playing such a farcial role, he would be a natural for an Oscar. Certainly the animals add a lot to the farce. The goofy humor makes the basically tragic scenario not only bearable but almost pleasant. It's also genuinely funny.
Sandler convincingly plays a marine biologist(!!!)in Hawaii who enjoys "entertaining" the "mainlanders." Sandler doesn't date "locals". He wants nothing to interfere with his dream of studying walruses. He discovers Barrymore having breakfast in a local bar and grill. What captures Sandler's attention, even more than her beauty, is Barrymore's creativity. What Sandler doesn't know is that Barrymore has brain damage. The brain cells which move short term memory to long term storage are destroyed. She forgots everything she's learned during the day while she sleeps. So, Sandler, the lothario who forgots his relationships with mainlanders after one week finds himself in love with a woman who forgets hers in 24 hours. That's writing genius, something you don't see very often, and Sandler, Barrymore, and Sandler's acting troupe handle it perfectly.
Though my wife is physically handicapped, my mother has severe short term memory loss. So, I really related to the trajedy so expertly portrayed in "50 First Dates". It's not often I give a movie that leaves me this sad a "10". The last time, I believe, was "Sommersby". Nonetheless, "50 First Dates" is a "10," since there is nothing about it I can suggest that make it better.
P.S. Looking forward to the NEXT Sandler/Barrymore collaboration.
