Critics Consensus

Gross-out humor overwhelms the easy chemistry between Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, who bring some energy and yucks to this tale of a girl with short-term memory loss and the guy who tries to get her to love him.

Gossamer thin, but lots of fun nevertheless.

Quite what age group this soft-centered entertainment is aimed at is hard to divine.

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

Aside from some of the churlish material, this has to be one of Sandler’s best from his original run. He’s actually committed to a vision here, and the story actually tries to find the poignancy in its premise rather than just the humor.

Leigh Paatsch

Herald Sun (Australia)

Effective combination of sweet romantic comedy and broad slapstick that often plays like a direct cross between Groundhog Day and When Harry Met Sally.

Rated: 2.5/5

I love this movie. I believe Big Daddy was the first movie I watched when I discovered Adam Sandler but I can watch 50 First Dates a thousand times. He loved her no matter the disability which I’m sure wasn’t easy but he found a better way to show where her life is at the moment. Great Job Adam

The critics hate it so you know its actually good. Sandler and Barrymore made me laugh all through this movie while giving the audience lovable scenes and heart-warming feelings. I'm not a huge romcom guy but I loved this movie!
