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.

| Jan 26, 2006

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

| Original Score: C- | May 3, 2005

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.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 6, 2004

After watching the duo reunite in 50 First Dates it is instantly clear that the chemistry displayed in that older film wasn't a fluke. If anything, age has only been kind to the twosome in this regard.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 4, 2004

Stupid, coarse and abysmally unfunny.

| Feb 26, 2004

Ends up making you pine for Lucy's gift of forgetting.

| Feb 18, 2004

This movie paints itself into a corner from which it cannot emerge without becoming an utter disaster as far as I'm concerned.

Full Review | Feb 17, 2004

Even though the film's tagline confidently calls him "the ultimate bachelor," Sandler doesn't walk the walk, and Segal isn't enough of a director to sell it.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 15, 2004

Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore shine in this sweet, flirty comedy about a man who falls for a woman with short-term memory loss.

Full Review | Feb 14, 2004

A chick flick for guys, with a pH balance in perfect equilibrium between the crass and the sweet.

Full Review | Feb 13, 2004

50 First Dates possesses an undeniable heart. The bad news is that it will still be buried underneath layers of stale Sandlerisms tomorrow, and the next day, and the next.

| Feb 13, 2004

Vast majority of the humor is so grotesquely obvious and crudely presented (in addition to being mildly crude in and of itself) that Sandler dissenters are guaranteed to remain just where they are.

If there's one thing to commend in 50 First Dates, apart from the finest walrus performances this side of Marineland, it's Barrymore, whose irrepressible cheerfulness and buoyancy at least makes Henry's motivation anything but mysterious.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 13, 2004

50 First Dates stays bravely true to its unresolvable premise.

| Feb 13, 2004

An awkward blend of date movie and preadolescent comedy.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Feb 13, 2004

The jokes in 50 First Dates aren't jokes, and the bits aren't bits so much as scattershot gestures in the general direction of comedy, at which an audience is expected to laugh, not at the joke, but at the comic's attempt at humor.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 13, 2004

Uneven, shapeless and crushingly repetitive.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 13, 2004

Surprisingly sweet.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 13, 2004

A terrible movie by all reasonable standards -- yet it leaves a sweet taste.
