Critics Consensus

Gross-out humor overwhelms the easy chemistry between Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, who bring some energy and yucks to this tale of a girl with short-term memory loss and the guy who tries to get her to love him.

Gossamer thin, but lots of fun nevertheless.

Quite what age group this soft-centered entertainment is aimed at is hard to divine.

2.5/4

A winning hand is repeatedly set down in order to make more room for the aforementioned sort of juvenile antics that will remind Sandler bashers why they hate him in the first place.

50 First Dates is a very much a product of its time, and not in a way that holds up particularly well today.

50 First Dates was quite entertaining, and Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler did a great job creating a fun and unique dynamic. The story follows Drew Barrymore’s character, who has short-term memory loss and wakes up each day without remembering what happened before. I thought the film was genuinely funny in many moments, but it also made you wonder how their relationship could possibly work. Would they stay together, or would Adam Sandler’s character have to spend the rest of his life making her fall in love with him over and over again? The story is compelling enough to keep you invested, while the chemistry between Sandler and Barrymore gives the movie plenty of heart. I think this is one of their better films together, and I’ve watched it multiple times. Ultimately, 50 First Dates is funny, romantic, heartfelt, and very watchable. It has a unique story that makes you think about love, commitment, and getting a second chance every day. It’s definitely a movie I would recommend

A little silly, a little sweet, surprisingly tender, and ridiculously wholesome - impossible not to smile at!
