Title Information

50 First Dates
Scatological and sentimental, satirical and sincere, 50 FIRST DATES reunite THE WEDDING SINGER's Adam Sandler with Drew Barrymore in this romantic comedy about the power of love and short-term memory loss in Hawaii. Henry Roth (Sandler), the local marina veterinarian, only dates tourists because he's afraid of commitment--that is, until he meets Lucy (Barrymore). Unfortunately, Lucy lost her short-term memory months ago in a car accident, and for her, each day is October the 13th. She follows the same routine every day--breakfast at the same restaurant, pineapple-picking with her dad, and eventually bed time, where sleep wipes away her short-term memory. Henry, however, refuses to be forgotten, and as his puppy love matures, he embarks on a quest to restore her memory, or at least be a part of her everyday routine. But vying for Lucy's attention isn't always easy. Sandler explores various neophytic approaches before making a video for Lucy to watch every morning, reminding her of who she is and what she's doing. The film includes a trademark Sandler ballad as Henry serenades Lucy with his ukulele and a series of familiar salacious puns. Rob Schneider plays Henry's best friend, a goofy native stoner whose physical hijinks earn many laughs, and a cameo by Dan Aykroyd as Lucy's doctor rounds out the cast.

“When your girlfriend has amnesia you have to win her over...every single day.”



Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore are reunited in a hilarious comedy best described as The Wedding Singer–meets-Groundhog Day.

The couple returns as Henry, a love- ’em-and-leave-’em Lothario, and Lucy, a high school art teacher with a unique neurological disorder that causes her memory to be erased overnight – every single night. And who better to cast as the man Drew Barrymore has to fall in love with every day but her old Wedding Singer co-star Adam Sandler?

When marine biologist Henry first meets Lucy he falls head over heels for her, but when he sees her the following day, she hasn’t a clue as to who he is. When he discovers that she has short-term memory loss he has to concoct new and increasingly clever ways to meet her and get her to fall for him every single day.

Directed by Peter Segal, who previously worked with Sandler on Anger Management, the chemistry between Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore that made The Wedding Singer so charming is still as strong as ever in 50 First Dates. Both actors are very comfortable with one another and play off each others strengths to great effect.

Supported by a great cast including the comedy genius of Rob Schneider and the brilliance of Dan Aykroyd as well as many of the usual Adam Sandler posse, 50 First Dates is a great date movie sure that all can enjoy.
