Wait, this sounds like something I'd say to get rid of some psycho girl. Am I the psycho girl?

I watched 50 First Dates again tonight. This really is a great romantic comedy. It's more on the comedy side then the romantic side, but not too far. Just a little slapstick (you gotta make it past the first 10 minutes though, after that the slapstick density goes way down.)

Sure, I could have done with less over the top Rob Schneider bits, and little less of an extreme Alexa. But I'm mostly picking nits and asking them to conform to my tastes.

The bottom line is if you avoided this one because you like neither Adam Sandler or Drew Barrymore you should take another look. They do surpisingly well together here. If you're a fan of light romantic comedies this one isn't to be missed.

Still want more?
