50 First Dates (DVD, 2004, Special Edition - Full Frame)

50 First Dates is a Romantic Comedy at it's best. Sandler does a very good job in this charming film!!

I wasn't that pumped to watch this movie but when I did I really enjoyed it. Sandler and Barrymoore have great on screen chemistry and the movie itself is really well scripted and features a great supporting cast.

I'm not a huge Sandler fan but this was one of my favorite Sandler films.

Final Verdict:

4/5

Rent or Buy?: Romantic comedy fans and Sandler fans must buy.

This is one of my favorite Adam Sandler movies. This one makes me laugh every time I watch it, it never gets old.

It takes place in Hawaii, Adam Sandler's character (Henry) meets Drew Barrymore's character (Lucy) at a local diner. He falls for her, but there's one problem. She can't remember him because she has short term memory loss. So every day he tries to make her fall in love with him.

The other cast is great as well. Sean Astin (Lord of The Rings) and Rob Schneider (The Hot Chick) are also in this movie. Both are hilarious.

If you're a fan of any of these actors you should definitely watch this movie.

Adam Sandler is such an awesome actor and all of his movies are great but this one in particular I really love! It's so funny and so original! He does a great job and plays his true funny/angry self!

Is there any way I could just forget this movie?

I'm a fan of Adam Sandler. Am I a huge fan? No. But I do like his humor and I've been a fan of most of his movies. Mostly, I just like it when he flies off the handle and screams. It's funny to me in a very baseless, kindergarten way. But at least I like it.

Drew Barrymore on the other hand...well, I haven't liked her in a movie since the last one she did with Sandler. Which might be why they decided to team up again.

Sandler (I forget his name in the movie) is a guy that likes to love `em and leave `em. He meets the tourists, bangs them, gives them some hokey lie about who he is - and he's on to the next one. And this seems to be working for him. He's got some weird friends and an odd job as a marine mammal veterinarian (is there such a thing?) - but he seems happy. Hey, he's living in Hawaii. Who wouldn't be happy?

But all of that seems to change, strangely, when he meets Drew Barrymore in a coffee shop and endearingly helps her make a waffle hut. They hit it off - sparks fly - and our boy is changed forever. Or so he thinks.

When he goes back to the coffee shop the next day to continue where they left off - she doesn't remember him and blows him off. Why? Well, Drew has some sort of mental "condition" where she's lost all short term memory and lives the same day over and over again (Bill Murray would be proud). Sandler, vexed by this woman he is falling for, decides to do his best to get her to notice him all over again and again and again.

While the premise has a bit of promise, the comedy is sorely lacking. There are but a few jokes in the whole thing. Sandler and Barrymore's romance is very cookie cutter for a somewhat original premise. And the worst thing is that Sandler's character learns his "womanizing lesson" about a third of the way through the film - which isn't really a good idea - since every movie is a journey of discovery for it's main characters. Once the journey ends - the movie usually does too. But not here. It just keeps going and going. And while you may have hope that Barrymore's clueless character might learn something - she never does.

The real stinker here is the ending that is so inexplicable, I nearly laughed out loud - but not in a good way.

There are a few bright spots in the movie, however. Rob Schneider is very funny as the perverted, clueless, henpecked surfer with too many kids. Sean Astin also has a nice turn as the roided up idiot brother of Barrymore. Actually, it's just good to see him no longer a fat hobbit. I was starting to ask, "Who ate the kid from The Goonies?" The scenery is beautiful and the soundtrack is nifty, with modern artists covering 80's hits.

The DVD boasts commentary from Barrymore and the director, some trailers, deleted scenes with optional commentary, a "making of", some music videos from the soundtrack, a gag reel, a Talkin' Pidgin featurette, and the Comedy Central special. Not bad. Buy it if you just love Sandler or Barrymore. Rent it if your just interested.

Excellent funny love movie that I watch over and over again a definite must have. A great gift to give to your girlfriend.

I bought this as a gift for a girl who helps take care of my mother becasue she said it was one of her favorites. Arrived in great shape and played good. No skips.

The movie was still wrapped and in great condition! I was very pleased with the movie, it came brand new. I would buy from this seller again.

All this movie does is make me want to go to Hawaii. I love this movie. It's a romance comedy. As much as it is sad, its funny, and also very very romantic. I've seen it a million times but because it has such a good soundtrack I can still watch it a million more.

I loved this Movie for the content and the touching parts of how adam Sandler treated a woman with a handicap. also how much one person does not give up on someone they love and treat them with loving care. All I can say is have a box of tissues ready, for this is a tear Jerker. Almost a Cinderella story. You can watch this again and again and never be tired of it.

cant say anything about it movie sells itself,adam is a guy who keeps going after baremore because she lost her memory every day he shows her just how much she loves her,awesome flick

I found buying on EBay a terrific way of getting deals and quick delivery all products I've ordered are in perfect cond. Thanks,

50 First Dates is one of my favorite movies. Adam Sandler is funny and tries so hard to make Drew Barrymore's character fall in love with him every day. It's a sweet movie. Girls and guys will enjoy this movie. I have seen it many times and decided to purchase the DVD since it was only $.99. However, I was disappointed with the quality of the DVD. The seller described the item as being in much better condition than it actually was. DVD arrived very scratched, tons of nasty fingerprints, and the box had dried food on it. While this was a good deal to get 50 First Dates for less than $4.00 including shipping, buyers on eBay need to be aware of what they are purchasing, and PLEASE read all feedback comments!

Filmed in Hawaii! Beautiful scenery! One of my favorite films.

Barrymore and Sandler pair up very well in this light-hearted romantic commedy. Included in the film is some profanity and bizarre character stereo-types such as a transvestite veternarian assistant and a dope-smoking indigenous father of many.

Sandler's character implies he has a habit of persuing one night stands with tourists. He meets Barrymore's character (art teacher/head trauma victim with severe memory loss) in a cafe and accidnetally falls for her.

Sandler spends most of his time concocting scenarios in an attempt to become ingrained in her memory. Barrymore wakes up every day unaware of anything since the head trauma incident.

In the end, the bad-boy gets the good girl and her zany family.

thank you for sending me the movie and it was on time and stuff

sorry for the late review

i bought the movie because i like adam sandler

It was my 1st time buying online
and i wasn't as sure if i was going to receive what have been said
but i was new and it work perfectly too.

Thanks for shipping fast and selling an item that is in the condition indicated! Good ebayer! Thanks.

Who wouldn't love to fall in love, all over again everyday? This movie is very sweet, with good humor. It does get kind of silly in places, but it flows well with the movie. All of the actors portray their characters amazingly. All in all, I would have to say, give this one a look!

excellent movie... fun to watch... great story.. adam sandler is very funny...
very entertaining...

I enjoy ordering on ebay because I get great deals on things it would cost more to by at a department store. Even having to pay shipping its a better deal.

Well, this is a must see romantic-comedy. Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymorre together can make anyone pee their pants. Every time I watch this movie, I see some dumb humor that I missed the previous time. If you need a laugh then watch this movie.

Ok Adam sandler to me is a freakin awsome film maker (except for wedding singer)(click)?????but ya this film is great ...I mean whoe is not in love with drew barrymoreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee>>>>>>>>>>>

thanks for fast shipping. dvd new as described. very nice to work with. can trust for next buy. thank you!

It was nice to see Adam Sandler in a role that was not goofy or laced with profanity. Overall, a good movie except for the scenes with Rob Schneider, Those were of the usual sophomoric behaviuor of Rob and Adam. Fortunately those only lasted about 7 minutes for the whole film. It was nice nice film That it enjoyable to see several times.
