50 First Dates
Henry is a player skilled at seducing women. But when this veterinarian meets Lucy, a girl with a quirky problem when it comes to total recall, he realizes it's possible to fall in love all over again…and again, and again. That's because the delightful Lucy has no short-term memory, so Henry must woo her day after day until he finally sweeps her off her feet.
Critics Sentiment
Lucy and Henry's romance develops through the daily video routine
Henry Roth established as commitment-phobe dating tourists in Hawaii
The film jumps from its weakest opening with Henry's sleazy introduction to strong chemistry when he meets Lucy at the cafe, a 2.0 point increase.
50 First Dates starts with a criticized sleazy setup but finds its footing once the central romance begins, peaking during the creative video solution that allows the relationship to develop. The film maintains solid emotional engagement through most of its runtime despite some viewers finding the premise contrived, with the ending proving divisive but generally satisfying for the romantic comedy genre.
