Live the Movie – 50 First Dates

The tagline: “Imagine having to win over the girl of your dreams… every friggin’ day,” says pretty much everything about sweet rom-com, 50 First Dates. Former art teacher Lucy (Drew Barrymore) is the girl of Henry’s (Adam Sandler) dreams, only since a car accident years earlier she suffers from Goldfield Syndrome, a (fictional) type of anterograde amnesia where she has no memories since the crash and can’t form any new long-term ones. The movie reignites the chemistry the actors showed in their previous onscreen collaboration, 1998’s box office success, The Wedding Singer, and with its soundtrack of pop classics, menagerie of marine life (Sandler’s Henry is a veterinarian) and relaxed summery feel, the rom-com certainly delivers a feel-good factor.
