50 First Dates Ratings & Reviews
- AaronFebruary 5, 2026This movie really said: “What if dating was already hard… but on expert mode?” Henry falls in love and then signs up for the world’s longest tutorial level. Bro isn’t in a relationship — he’s in a daily subscription service. Every morning Lucy wakes up like: “New day, who dis?” And Henry’s back like an intern at a job he can’t quit, re-pitching himself with 110% enthusiasm. Also… let’s be honest: If your relationship requires VHS tapes, rehearsed scripts, and a full production team just to function, that’s not romance — that’s a group project. And Henry’s friends? Zero help. They’re just vibing while this man is out here running a romantic Groundhog Day speedrun. Cute movie? Sure. Realistic? Only if your love language is amnesia and emotional damage. Roast Verdict: A film where love conquers all… except basic medical follow-ups and long-term therapy. Still funny though. Still cute. But wow, that relationship needs a user manual.
- CallumNovember 6, 2025⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – 50 First Dates – Love, Memory, and the Magic of Starting Over 50 First Dates is one of Adam Sandler’s best — a romantic comedy that balances heart, humour, and just enough absurdity to make the impossible feel genuine. Set against the bright backdrop of Hawaii, it tells the story of Henry, a carefree vet who falls in love with Lucy, a woman whose short-term memory resets every night. Each day, he has to make her fall in love with him all over again. Sandler is at his most sincere here, softening his usual goofiness with genuine warmth. Drew Barrymore matches him beat for beat, radiating charm and innocence without ever feeling one-note. Together they turn what could’ve been a gimmick into a surprisingly tender exploration of love’s persistence. The familiar faces from Sandler’s circle add some goofy humour to keep things light, but it’s the chemistry between the leads that makes the film work. It’s sweet, funny, and quintessentially American in its optimism — a story where love conquers neurological impossibility and still manages to make you smile. Even knowing it’ll end happily doesn’t take away from the magic of watching it get there. 🥥 Pairing: A tropical piña colada — bright, sweet, and full of sunshine, perfect for a film that believes every day can be the first day of the rest of your love story.
- M08YDecember 28, 2025A solid Adam Sandler rom-com with enough heart to leave you feeling good. 50 First Dates is one of the better Adam Sandler movies. The jokes mostly land, the emotions actually emote and the characters are likable and well realised. I won't talk too much about the story as it's pretty self explanatory from the concept, but I do want to talk about the ending. Without spoiling it, the ending is genuinely lovely. It would have been incredibly cheap and easy to "magically fix" everything at the end but fortunately a different path was taken. The Blu-ray itself was fine on all counts. Nothing interesting to report.
- Shelley RoweAugust 3, 2025I think you need to understand and appreciate Adam Sandler's comedy to enjoy his movies! They've always got that 'weird' factor but it's all just playful. If you don't get his humour, then this and all of his movies won't sit well with you...I love it! Lol For me, this is a classic! It will never get old. I can watch this (and many other Adam Sandler movies) over and over again. They're just feel good movies!! Plus, Hawai'i is where my heart is, so watching this makes my heart smile. It'll always have 5/5 stars ✅ Adam Sandler ✅ Hawai'i ✅ Rom-Com Ok byee ✌🏼
