50 First Dates - 2004

Do I love you? Yes...Do I love you? Yes!

Now and again you know you have to watch an easy going 'flick'. One that won't test your brain and will allow you to just doze at the same time. However although this is a bit like that it certainly doesn't allow you to doze! Imagine having to start a relationship with someone from scratch everyday. And them having absolutely no recollection of you or the day before.Well that is what happens to Adam Sandler who, after playing the field for as long as possible he ends up falling for Drew Barrymore, who unfortunately suffers from amnesia after an accident while out with her father on his birthday the year before. Everyday she wakes up believing it is that day all over again and everyday her father has to make excuses for her and feign interest in his birthday celebrations. Not actually much of a lighthearted movie you may think, well in parts it is, but in others it is quite upsetting as we deal with her pain everyday.

Barrymore and Sandler work well together, each bouncing off the others' character effortlessly. Worth a watch.

Rating 3/5
