	Blu-ray Review: 50 First Dates \| High Def Digest
		So that makes it a bit of a shame that they picked '50 First Dates' as their follow-up vehicle to 'The Wedding Singer,' because even a couple as charming as them can't save a pedestrian, derivative script.
		Note that like all of Sony's other Blu-ray titles, '50 First Dates' features the "Seamless Menu Navigation" feature, which is the much-touted ability of both of the next-gen HD formats to allow users to access a disc's extras in real-time, while the movie is playing and without interrupting playback.
		Of course, '50 First Dates' is not exactly the A-list title that will get mainstream consumers to jump onboard the Blu-ray love train, but it does prove the format can deliver on the bottom line.

	DVD Verdict Review - 50 First Dates
		Henry falls in love, and at first it's just a game, a variation on his dating modus operandi; Lucy doesn't remember from day to day, so he doesn't have to lie—all he has to do is have her like him for just one day, then he can start all over.
		In the Sandler oeuvre, 50 First Dates is probably the least typical of his films next to Punch-Drunk Love, and that's a good thing—it's probably the most enjoyable film he's been in since Billy Madison.
		50 First Dates is a good sign that his career is maturing and that he'll have longevity as a romcom lead and expand his fanbase outside teenage males (whether they be "teenage" in years or temperament).

	50 First Dates - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		50 First Dates is a 2004 romantic comedy starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore and directed by Peter Segal.
		Lucy is smart enough to consider this question herself, and after several days of romance ("There's nothing like a first kiss", spoken by her three successive times on three successive days), she shows up at the aquarium with startling news: she has been keeping a scrapbook ever since Henry made the home movie.
		One notable coincidence of Henry's first video is when the screen says "Red Sox Win World Series" and then follows with "Just Kidding." This is a reference to the 2003 American League Championship Series, as the film was released in February 2004.

	Blu-ray Review: 50 First Dates \| High-Def Digest
		Maybe '50 First Dates' is not shot-for-shot true reference material, but it does bode well for future Blu-ray releases.
		Sony presents '50 First Dates' in uncompressed PCM 5.1 surround (a Dolby Digital 5.1 option is also included), and it is a bit better than the plain Dolby track on the standard DVD release.
		Though, admittedly, none of the extras on '50 First Dates' were tremendously exciting the first time around, it is still a shame we don't get the complete package here.

	50 First Dates (2004)
		Henry attempts to continue to date her, but he finds it difficult to re-approach her everyday in a way that works.
		Dates offers a “high concept” story, and one with some pretty obvious echoes of Groundhog Day.
		Dates turns into more of a romance/drama as it moves, and it handles the transition well.

	50 FIRST DATES
		More alarming, however, is the fact that Dates is yet another offering to the increasingly alarming stockpile of American entertainment products which revolve around memory loss and manipulation (The Butterfly Effect, Paycheck, Alias, and the upcoming Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind).
		Dates is way closer to a being a post-There's Something About Mary Farrelly brothers movie than Sandler's typical fare, right down to using freakishly odd locals, making its talent look extra-goofy, and shoving a saccharine ending down our throats even though we just want to see more people hit with baseball bats.
		Parts of Dates, especially when we see the painstaking lives the Whitmores lead in an attempt to keep Lucy's illness from her, are almost downright touching, though I think that has a lot to do with the context of the film.

	BBC - Films - 50 First Dates
		It's implausible, obviously, but this is entertainment not education and the spark between the stars and a surprisingly thoughtful screenplay ensures that, despite the odd gross-out misstep, this is a sweet, warm and funny romantic comedy.
		The first 20 minutes promise a harsher, thicker picture than 50 First Dates becomes, with Sandler's androgynous co-worker (Lusia Strus) and roguish best friend (Rob Schneider) tools for broad, boring comedy (a vomiting walrus; base sexual innuendo).
		Sure, 50 First Dates has the superficial ickiness we expect from Sandler, but underneath it has heart.

	50 First Dates
		Just like Barrymore has short term memory loss in 50 First Dates, there is nothing she can do about that, but fight it.
		I'm not one to usually compare, but while The Wedding Singer had more laughs than 50 First Dates, it never had the romance and strong characters that both actors played in 50 First Dates.
		50 First Dates is his very first screenplay and not a bad one to start with at all.

		In the unforgettable romantic comedy 50 First Dates, love means never having to say, "Who the hell are you?" Marine biologist Henry Roth (Adam Sandler) finds the perfect woman, Lucy Whitmore (Drew Barrymore) and falls head over heels for her.
		First kisses might be the sweetest of all, but in this film it is the last date that makes you surrender on the off chance you manage to hold off that long.
		The basic storyline of 50 First Dates: Henry Roth lives in Hawaii and spend his time wooing women who are visiting the island, simply because there is little chance of commitment.

	50 First Dates
		The typical Sandler movie is filled with sophomoric and/or offensive humor, and his standard character more often comes off as silly or stupid rather than the innocent in a corrupt world that he seems to be trying for.
		And for the first several minutes of the film, I was afraid that my worst fears would be confirmed.
		50 First Dates is a celebration of love, its basic premise that Sandler must make Drew Barrymore fall in love with him all over again every day.

		50 First Dates finds humour and a kind of sweet romanticism in what is normally a very serious condition.
		The trouble is, when Henry sees Lucy the next day she doesn’t know who he is. He discovers that she suffers from a rare brain disorder caused by a car accident a year previously and, each night as she goes to sleep, she forgets everything that happened the day before.
		They send Henry packing at first, but his persistence pays off and he comes up with a plan to try to make Lucy’s days better — and to make her fall in love with him over and over again.

	50 First Dates Movie review
		“50 First Dates” is what the disillusioned bystanders have been waiting for: it’s mostly a gentle, intelligent romantic comedy that reunites Sandler with his “Wedding Singer” costar, Drew Barrymore.
		We first hear of Henry Roth, Sandler’s character, before we meet him through a few lines of praise from a variety of gorgeous tourists now back home after a, well, stimulating vacation in Oahu.
		The screenplay by George Wing is inventive in providing Henry many ways of encountering Lucy for the first time again, and very adept in showing how all this changes Henry into a better person, without his even noticing.

	IGN: 50 First Dates Review
		With 50 First Dates, Sandler attempts to soften his image a bit and recapture the chemistry he and Drew Barrymore shared on The Wedding Singer.
		Presented in 2.40:1 anamorphic widescreen, 50 First Dates is comparable to what we've been getting from Columbia, which is to say, pretty fine.
		First up is a commentary featuring Barrymore and director Peter Segal, who did this film immediately after he and Sandler finished Anger Management.

	50 First Dates - Rotten Tomatoes
		When not obsessed with hitting the giggly teenage boy demographic, 50 First Dates concentrates on a situation that requires Sandler to act grown up and responsible.
		Even though it's populated with juvenile antics, 50 First Dates is still a great date movie, cliched as that sounds.
		50 First Dates is more of a romantic comedy than an Adam Sandler comedy.

		The first time I saw this movie in the theater, I remember liking it but being so sad at the end.
		The idea of continually reliving and reviewing one's life in a day seems to me to be a new twist on a theme in the previous two films on time travel through changing states of mind.

	Rolling Stone : 50 First Dates : Review
		50 First Dates rolls unapologetically off the Adam Sandler assembly line -- another farce high on silliness, sentiment, dick jokes, vomit (a walrus blows lunch) and a crazylove for grossouts that is too sincere to be faked.
		He’s a bit more adventurous in 50 First Dates, directed by Anger’s Peter Segal, which shows savvy in stealing from 1993’s Groundhog Day in which the great Bill Murray played a smartass weatherman forced to relive the same day again and again until he made Andie MacDowell fall in love with him.
		In 50 First Dates, scripted by newcomer George Wing, Sandler plays Henry Roth, a vet at a Oahu aquarium, who has to pull off the same love trick with art teacher Lucy Whitmore (Drew Barrymore).

	50 FIRST DATES - WIDESCREEN SPECIAL EDITION DVD
		The stupid version of Groundhog Day, or, more to the point, the capering warm-up act for Charlie Kaufman's Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, the latest Adam Sandler vehicle 50 First Dates is just like almost every other alleged comedy released in the first quarter of any year in that lacks pace and energy.
		There's a level of hate in Sandler's films that's disturbing; that the hate seems to be focused almost entirely on Asians appears to be forgivable mainly because Asians are the last great ethnic target whose abuse is sanctioned by mainstream American culture.
		That 50 First Dates is awful is no surprise--that it appears to have had the potential to be great is just heartbreaking.

	SPLICEDwire \| "50 First Dates" movie review (2004) "50 First Dates" review, Peter Segal, Adam Sandler, Drew Barrymore
		But with the couple's meet-cute in a rusty, tin-roofed cafe (absentmindedly playing with her knife, she glints sunshine into his eyes), "Dates" hits its stride with Sandler wracking his brain for new and comical ways to make her fall in love with him day in, day out.
		The movie is at its funniest on the days when Sandler strikes out (there aren't enough of these scenes) and at its most affable after he convinces Barrymore's over-protective family to let him try to jog her routine repeatedly in the hopes of making her remember him.
		But "50 First Dates" never tries to wiggle out of its memory-loss plot, even when searching for a happy ending, and because it remains true to its characters, the movie overcomes its faults with good humor (after the tactless first act anyway) and genuinely appealing performances (it's certainly the most likable Sandler's ever been).

	50 First Dates : film review
		When the women he dates asked for his phone number, Henry makes all sorts of wicked excuses for not wanting to go any further.
		Commitment is precisely the reason why he only dates out-of-town women, until he meets local girl Lucy (Drew Barrymore) who he becomes instantly attracted to.
		If true, then 50 First Dates can be seen as a commendable progression, if not quite in the same league as last year's Punch Drunk Love.

		For perhaps the first time in his career, he uses his beloved ukulele to sing a genuinely endearing, if goofy, song, and as a gentle man (note the two words there), it's more or less understandable why Lucy would fall in love with him.

	50 First Dates film review
		Although 50 First Dates is nothing more than a charming, lightweight romantic comedy, it shows a far more endearing and less manic Sandler than the one who first emerged in Happy Gilmore.
		Henry Roth (Adam Sandler) is a womanizer with a neat line in patter and a library of personas he adopts to bed the visiting lovelies to Hawaii where he works as a vet in an aquatic theme park.
		In his pursuit he is at first discouraged by Lucy's protective father (Blake Clark) and her buffoonish brother (Sean Astin), but with the help, and occasional hindrance, of his pot-head friend Ula (Rob Schneider) he gradually gains their support and Lucy's affections.
