Aside from some of the churlish material, this has to be one of Sandler’s best from his original run. He’s actually committed to a vision here, and the story actually tries to find the poignancy in its premise rather than just the humor.

Effective combination of sweet romantic comedy and broad slapstick that often plays like a direct cross between Groundhog Day and When Harry Met Sally.

...has an unexpected emotional undertow and enough hard-won laughs to make it succeed.

A surprisingly good film with a sweet story...

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 7, 2008

Within the witlessness and crudeness is a touching (or mawkish, depending on your perspective) romantic comedy trying to get out.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 27, 2007

The moments that Sandler and Barrymore can steal together are golden.

| Original Score: B | Jul 23, 2007

Though the set-up in this light romantic comedy is a bit strained, once you get into the main interaction with the two stars you get both the laughs and the emotion that you hope for in a film like this.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Sep 24, 2006

Gossamer thin, but lots of fun nevertheless.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 1, 2006

Quite what age group this soft-centered entertainment is aimed at is hard to divine.

I had hard time believing that someone as shallow as Henry would all of the sudden drop everything in his life for this girl, but the film is surprisingly winning.

| Original Score: B | Jun 17, 2005

This dopey film has virtually nothing going for it but its genial stars.

It's nearly a profound concept, but only nearly. Remember that 50 First Dates is an Adam Sandler movie: there are limits.

...one mediocre Valentine's Day gift, with all the panache of grocery store chocolate.
