50 First Dates

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.

Critics landed in genuinely mixed territory: even those who enjoyed the Sandler-Barrymore chemistry felt the film was weighed down by crude humor that clashed with its otherwise sweet romantic premise. Audiences responded far more warmly than critics, suggesting the film works better as a date-night crowd-pleaser than as anything critics could get behind.
