50 First Dates had the potential to be a sweet romantic movie about a guy trying to help the woman of his dreams fall in love with him every day, however it delivered a stupid movie filled with stalking, illogical ideas and penis jokes. Maybe I have too logical of a mind for a movie like this, didn't think I did, but apparantly I can't appreciate Rob Schiender in booty shorts and belly button tees and Sean Astin (who I used to respect) lisping in mesh muscle tank tops... this movie owes us a couple stars -**s
This movie is the theatrical equivalent of Chinese water torture - slow, tedious, annoying, painful. The plot consists of a tragic and utterly depressing backstory that's dressed up as a candy-coated romantic comedy. The characters consist of what I guess are supposed to be wacky and hilarious people and sea animals, but the lines are poorly timed and/or written and the personalities so far-fetched that they are completely shallow and unrelatable. Rob Schneider should be a spokesman for an environmental activism group, because he is the king of recycling. The jokes consist mainly of walrus penises and other toilet humor. You know the writing is bad when they bring in animals as actual characters. Don't waste your time and money, do something more exciting like sort your loose change in to piles ordered by the date they were minted.
This movie stinks to high heaven. The script is so unfunny that no-one over the age of 7 would find it amusing. The acting is so bad that even Along Came Polly looks good beside it. The direction is sloppy. Overall, every scene is utterly predictable.
More seriously, this movie is ideologically offensive. For a start, it's deeply racist. According to this film, native Hawaiians are dirty, lazy, stupid, and socially unsophisticated. Additionally, the movie never misses the chance to make a homophobic wisecrack, even throwing in an androgenous zoo worker to create even more opportunities for seriously cheap jokes. To make matters worse s(he) is given Viking hair - evidently in the director's opinion, people from Northern Europe haven't got beyond the Viking era yet.
Leaving aside the fact that you will be so bored that you'll want to shoot yourself 30 minutes in, I don't believe any responsible parent would want their kid to see this film. It's the kind of objectionable trash only a family wedded to the Ku Klux Klan would enjoy. That it can get a 6.8 reading on IMDB is a serious indictment of public taste.

I like Adam Sandler. At least I used to until he fell into the business of doing movies just because they're there. Like so many "Something About Mary" movies before this (cute, sexy, virginal blonde girl meets doofus, bungling, but adorable guy who wants her at all costs), the entire plot (if you can call it that) was exhausted in the first 15 minutes. Absolutely nothing original here. They thought that they'd take the success of Groundhog Day, turn it upside down (the star stands still while the calendar moves), and have a hit. It didn't work. Add to this, textbook acting by a moronic dad and a stupid brother (that can't even spell act) and the heroine actually comes across as the best actor in the film. I guess that after you saw the credits go by, you'd sympathize with Adam and like the movie. Hmmm...
Maybe I was jaded when I saw this on an eternal flight from Germany to Los Angeles. But after 10 hours in the air, it was only slightly more entertaining than the crying baby next to me as I sat in a middle seat.
