Brief synopsis of 50 First Dates

3-Disc comedy box set featuring the films, HITCH, JERRY MAGUIRE and 50 FIRST DATES.
HITCH - Desperately trying to win the affections of a society girl, Albert Brennaman calls in the services of Hitch, New York's premier dating doctor. Meanwhile, gossip columnist Sara Melas begins work to reveal more about the mysterious love doctor, only to discover that he is in fact the man she has been dating.
JERRY MAGUIRE - Jerry Maguire, a slick, high-living sports agent, is tired of the shallowness of his profession and wants to live a more fulfilling life, however his new outlook doesn't mesh with his agency's ethics, and he is promptly fired. Left with a single friend, one client, and a long road ahead of him, Jerry discovers something more important than money.
50 FIRST DATES - Henry Roth (Adam Sandler) works at a Hawaiian Sea World park as a marine biologist. He enjoys the company of women and spends his time picking up tourists. One of the tourists he befriends is Lucy (Drew Barrymore) and unlike the rest of his flings, who only survive the afternoon, Henry is keen to meet up with her the next day. Unfortunately when the next day arrives, Lucy can't remember ever meeting Henry and he soon discovers that, following an accident, she suffers from short term memory loss. Every day he has to woo her again and again and trust that she falls in love with him every time.

Critics Reviews

Rating of 3 stars out of 5 Radio Times

Only the grumpiest viewer could fail to be charmed by this sweet comedy. Featuring one of Adam Sandler's least goofy performances, it's a simple and undemanding story, with genuine warmth beneath the slapstick. In a plot reminiscent of Groundhog Day, Drew Barrymore plays a car-crash survivor whose short term memory loss means she wakes up every morning with no knowledge of the day before. For laid-back, would-be suitor Sandler this means repeating their first date over and over again, an amusing concept laced with poignancy. While both leads are likeable, benefiting from an easy chemistry established in The Wedding Singer, it's Anger Management director Peter Segal's subtle balance of humour and heart that really lifts the film.

Rated - 5 starssuperb.........

williamsgwynfa [Highly rated reviewer] , 29/01/2007

this is a very funny film, and the chemistry between adam sandler and drew barrymore is wonderful. my daughters think that this film is the best that they have seen. 50 first dates is ideal for a girls night in for my daughter and her friends with cola, popcorn and a pizza delivery.

Rated - 4 starsA bit of a surprise

A customer from SW London, England , 30/09/2004

Not quite what we expected but proved to be quite a pleasant viewing. Just one of those films that doesn't stretch you but leaves you with a smile on your face thinking that that was a nice way to spend 90 minutes.

sanj2 from london , 01/12/2004

This was a poor film with a weak plot. Don't waste your time watching it. It is predictable and very AMERICAN.

Rated - 5 starsWonderful moments

Antony Mayhew from London , 21/07/2004

Before I start I should probably point out that I'm an Adam Sandler fan. Happy Gilmore still rates as one of my favourite comedies ever, the Waterboy is pure laugh out loud Slapstick and The Wedding Singer was a fantastic romantic comedy. However I can also admit that Mr. Deeds, Billy Madison etc are films that are going through the motions whilst Little Nicky was truly awful. The film isn't as funny as The Wedding Singer, but does have a few laugh out loud scenes, its more a romantic comedy with a stress on the romance, with some wonderful moments where you realise exactly how much Sanlders character is doing to win over the girl of his dreams, every day.

Rated - 4 starsFantastic cocktail of laughter and romance

hornets1 from dorset , 06/01/2005

Sandler back to the peak of "just making you smile"... mix with the sweetness of Drew Barrymore and you have one fantastic cocktail of laughter and romance. Just right for that night in with the better half. So uncork the wine, turn down the lights and pop in the film.
