50 First Dates

Pros: Rob Schneider
Cons: One idiotic German gender bender stereotype that was over the top even for me.

Sometimes you just need a light-hearted romp that isn't going to make you think too hard. Such was the case today after coming out of Mel Gibson's heavy movie T he Passion of the Christ. I wanted a comedy to lighten the ...

Pros: Occasionally very funny, very sweet, Barrymore, Sandler, Astin
Cons: Too crude and stupid to be really funny

Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore star as the leads in this romantic comedy, working together very well as they did in The Wedding Singer, though in very different roles. Barrymore stars as Lucy Whitmore, who in an accident lost her short-term ...

Pros: Sandler, Barrrymore, Very original story, Quite entertaining and has a lot of great laughs
Cons: none

Adam Sandler has been known to be the guy who comes out with the over-the-top comedy on a yearly basis for recent years, but I think that he has taken his career in a new direction. With his production company producing major comedic hits such as Hot ...

Pros: An occasional chuckle or two; An occasional sensitive moment
Cons: Scenes repeated over and over again; The constant references to Spam

Adam Sandler can always be counted on to appear in at least one theatrical release each year. His movies are mostly comedies, but for his film release in the late winter of 2004, he has been cast in a film that combines comedy with some dramatic moments ...

Pros: Barrymore, Sandler, Schneider; the relationship between Henry and Lucy
Cons: Certain early scenes aren't particularly funny

Adam Sandler has certainly gotten a lot of mileage from portraying characters who sound whiny and act misguidedly, but are generally supposed to be good-natured. The problem I've had with the Sandler film persona is that he spends too much of his screen ...

Pros: Adam and Drew are a match made in Heaven.
Cons: Some really awful remakes of good songs.

Memory loss is getting to be a hot topic in Hollywood these days. I mean, you'd think they would've caught on to it three years ago when Memento first hit the screens. But then, one might assume that they ...

Pros: Adam Sandler picks up his feet, very funny, nice story, Drew Barrymore (yummy)
Cons: memory loss sucks

Adam Sandler hasn’t had a REALLY good movie in quite some time. A nger Management was very disappointing, Eight Crazy Nights was pretty much stupid, and the last one that really hit home was Big Daddy. Mr. Deeds ...

Pros: Barrymore was solid.
Cons: Sandler. Dumb jokes. Spam.

The idea is cute, but 50 First Dates misses the mark from start to finish. First, Henry is a playboy. Nothing new about that for an opening especially for a romantic comedy. The problem is that Adam Sandler as Henry is just not good casting. ...

Pros: Barrymore and Sandler's chemistry
Cons: abundant potty humor, outlandish situation

I’m generally not an Adam Sandler fan, but I loved The Wedding Singer, so I thought perhaps he and Drew Barrymore might strike gold together again in 50 First Dates, another romantic comedy, this time about a man who must make the girl ...

Pros: Funny, sincere, acting
Cons: Some tasteless humor

I really like “The Wedding Singer” because Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore had great chemistry together. But, I was unsure about this film after seeing the previews for it, the plot looked a little far-fetched to be pulled off. However, it was pulled ...

Pros: Not a bad film to see on a date
Cons: Generic romantic comedy; not the kind of film Sandler fans will expect

Ah, yes. So, my Wife and I went the exciting route on Valentine's Day -- dinner and a movie. Actually, dinner and a movie is kind of a big deal for parents with two small children. These days, I'd put up with just about any form of entertainment to ...

Pros: Sandler/Barrymore, Cast, Location, Direction, Script, & Some of the Soundtrack.
Cons: Some Predictable Moments & Some Uninspired 80s Covers.

In 1998 after two commercially successful but critically-panned comedies, Adam Sandler scored a surprise hit early in that year with a sweet romantic comedy called The Wedding Singer that co-starred Drew Barrymore as his leading lady. The film ...

Pros: funny, sweet, Drew Barrymore.
Cons: Rob Schneider, crudity.

I was never quite sure what to expect from the romantic comedy 50 First Dates. I've always despised Adam Sandler's (Little Nicky) goofy persona, but at the same time I have always been in love with Drew Barrymore's (Charlie's ...

Pros: Excellent casting; Story tugs on the heart strings; some funny bits
Cons: More sad/serious than funny, and audiences aren't prepared for it.

This is an entry into the Epinions Before & After Valentine's Day Write-Off. I went to see 50 First Dates after dinner at Mamma Lombardi's on Valentine's Day. I don't really like Adam Sandler. He's in the "Ben Stiller" ...

Pros: Potentially interesting plot, but...
Cons: ...the potential wasn't realized. In ANY way.

Have you ever found yourself watching a movie, so mesmerized by its sheer awfulness in every element of the filmic art that you weren’t even able to walk away from it in your own home? A move with a ghastly script; unbelievable characters; ...
