He romances babes who are in Hawaii on vacation, and then forgets them when they go home, so imagine his amazement when he meets Lucy and finds that she forgets him every night.
He plays Henry Roth, a marine biologist at a Hawaiian sea world, healing walruses, sea lions and dolphins and moonlighting as an expert in one-night stands.
This is a kinder and gentler Adam Sandler. To be sure, there's projectile vomiting on a vast scale in an opening scene of the movie, but it's performed by a walrus, not one of the human characters, and the walrus feels a lot better afterward. He reveals the warm side of his personality, and leaves behind the hostility, anger and gross-out humor.
#SONGS FROM 50 FIRST DATES MOVIE MOVIE#
The movie is sort of an experiment for Sandler. They work well together, as they showed in " The Wedding Singer" they have the same tone of smiling, coy sincerity. Still, this isn't a psychiatric docudrama but a lighthearted romantic comedy, and the premise works to provide Adam Sandler and Barrymore with a sweet story. Seems to me that short-term memory loss doesn't work on a daily timetable, but is more like the affliction of "10-Second Tom," a character in the movie who reboots every 10 seconds. Is this possible? I'd like to bring in Oliver Sacks for a second opinion.
