Overview

Henry is a player skilled at seducing women. But when this veterinarian meets Lucy, a girl with a quirky problem when it comes to total recall, he realizes it's possible to fall in love all over again…and again, and again. That's because the delightful Lucy has no short-term memory, so Henry must woo her day after day until he finally sweeps her off her feet. Wikipedia ↗

About the Film

50 First Dates is a 2004 American romantic comedy directed by Peter Segal. Adam Sandler stars as Henry Roth, a marine veterinarian in Hawaii who falls for Lucy Whitmore, played by Drew Barrymore, a woman suffering from anterograde amnesia following a car accident that erases her short-term memory every night. Each morning, Lucy wakes up believing it is the day before the accident, and Henry must find new ways to make her fall in love with him every single day.

The premise elevated 50 First Dates above typical Adam Sandler comedies by providing a genuinely romantic emotional core — Henry's willingness to court Lucy anew each day, knowing she won't remember him tomorrow, was a surprisingly moving demonstration of devotion. Rob Schneider and Sean Astin provided comedic support. The Hawaiian setting gave the film a lush, tropical visual appeal.

The film earned $196 million worldwide on a $75 million budget.
