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

Top Critic
For every joke that misfires, there's either a decent joke or a genuinely romantic or heartwarming moment.
04/17/04
The spark between the stars and a surprisingly thoughtful screenplay ensures that, despite the odd gross-out misstep, this is a sweet, warm and funny romantic comedy.

Top Critic Reuniting with the leading lady from his best film (The Wedding Singer), Adam Sandler finds a way to blend his infantile vulgarity with a charming, beguiling love story.
02/13/04
The moments that Sandler and Barrymore can steal together are golden.

Though the set-up in this light romantic comedy is a bit strained, once you get into the main interaction with the two stars you get both the laughs and the emotion that you hope for in a film like this.

I had hard time believing that someone as shallow as Henry would all of the sudden drop everything in his life for this girl, but the film is surprisingly winning.

This dopey film has virtually nothing going for it but its genial stars.
05/03/05
It's nearly a profound concept, but only nearly. Remember that 50 First Dates is an Adam Sandler movie: there are limits.

'Proporciona un buen rato de diversión para toda la familia. Y decir esto de una película de Sandler es algo para tomar en cuenta.'
07/20/04
u mayor logro es sacar a Adam Sandler de sus papeles de neurótico, para demostrarnos que también puede interpretar otros roles.
