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.

2.5/4

A winning hand is repeatedly set down in order to make more room for the aforementioned sort of juvenile antics that will remind Sandler bashers why they hate him in the first place.

50 First Dates is a very much a product of its time, and not in a way that holds up particularly well today.

It’s sweet and funny, well-acted, filmed in a beautiful landscape, with strong supporting characters. I love rewatching this movie every now and again. Sometimes, this is all you need.

This movie, when you boil it down, is a horror show. Imagine being someone who can't form new memories suddenly wakes up pregnant next to someone she doesn't recognize. Then later in life as she notices she is getting older she has little humans calling her 'mom' and she has no memory of them at all. Every single day is Stockholm Syndrome again and again. This is meant to be a love story, but it is really a stalker story that you, the audience, are also supposed to be okay with Stockholm Syndrome. There is nothing glamourous about this movie and the father and brother tried desperately to tell him to move on. And now her life begins every day with "I watch a video of someone telling me that this is my life and I'm supposed to blindly accept it." Yeah. This is a horror film, not a love story.
