Good concept, poorly executed.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

This movie is funny. It's packed with magnetically funny characters and the actors have great timing. The Sandman and Drew work great together and Schneider and Astin steal the show. The Hawaiian backdrop is gorgeous. I am a huge Minnesota Vikings fan and I love that my team is part of the movie, even though I have no idea why.But what I really love about this movie is the love story, I was surprisingly and, at times, overwhelmingly touched by Henry and Lucy's plight. During the conclusion, while Israel kamakawiwo'ol's version of "Somewhere over rainbow" plays gently, I had tears running down cheeks. Like a lot of Sandler movies, there is a beating heart mixed into the silliness. I heard this one loud and clear.

This is a movie I never get sick of watching and have watched it far too many times to keep count.
If you are into romantic comedies this is a must see, there are so many funny characters in it you will just have to laugh out loud at some point.
Rob Schneider's character is just hilarious and if you don't laugh at him, well........
As always Drew Barrymore's acting is sublime and the movie is worth watching just for her.
Not really your typical over the top Adam Sandler movie, but most if not all Adam Sandler fans will love this one.

50 First Dates is a love story of a beautiful couple,this movie shows a essence of true love.The lead male character Henry is shown pervert but when he falls in love with Lucy, he decides to be with her for rest of his life. Henry makes her fall in love him each and every single day, I loved that how patient and caring he was, his way of approaching the whole situation about Lucy was incredible. The story is very simple with no hidden meanings in it. People who are into watching Love Stories can go ahead with this movie, you guys are definitely gonna love it and probably you will fall in love with your partner again.This movie will make you smile, laugh and cry. Some scenes are very funny you are definitely gonna laugh specially Ula's character is very funny which keeps the grip of this movie and makes it balanced in every aspect of love and fun.

The premise for this movie was, quite frankly, pure genius. It was one of those rare ideas that could be brilliant as either a comedy or a drama. This could have been a harrowing, yet beautiful love story. It could have been a riveting, intelligent comedy. But when they cast Sandler, it became neither.Instead of telling an almost comically tragic story of love prevailing against impossible odds, they take a real medical condition and stretch it and stretch it until it becomes almost offensively unrealistic. I swear, "Finding Nemo," who only had the condition for laughs, did it better than this movie, which was fueled by its very presence. The directing is alright. There's rarely anything specifically wrong with directing in a movie. In addition to this, there were multiple occasions where I found myself laughing. There was one occasion that I was cracking up.But those are the only redeeming qualities. The acting, writing, and realism are all atrocious.The writing is my biggest problem. Once again, it takes a fantastic premise and wastes it on lesbian jokes. It wastes it on slapstick. It wastes it on vomit jokes. It wastes it on butt crack jokes, and worst of all, it wastes it on Adam Sandler.Which brings us to the acting. Barrymore was actually very good in this movie; I'm not going to lie. Especially considering the incredible emotion she's tasked with portraying, she's phenomenal. There are very few actors or actresses who can successfully pull off that very specific emotion of realizing that, well, this is the thousandth time you've seen that tape.That being said, Sandler was absolutely horrible. Over the many, many years he's been making movies, he seems to have mastered the emotions of "happiness" and "weirded out" down to a science. Unfortunately, this movie requires him to feel actual emotion, and play a character that isn't exactly who he is already, and in the department of actually acting, he seems to be at a loss.Really, really atrocious.
