Just watched "50 First Dates" A Poll by Gender

[Demonaut]

Got in a mild argument of the merits and storyline of the movie with a friend. I need wider input...thanks in advance.

[Minstrel Boy]

1. Really, really awful.

He was far too self-conscious, indulgent and charmless a subject for the good of his own film.

5. What were you expecting... the Hulk?

2. I LOVE DREW!!!

Drew Barrymore has been my lifelong crush. She turned 30 yesterday, Happy Birthday Drew.

I can't speak ill of one of her films. She was very funny and lovable in the role. I did not like Sandler in the lead role or Sean Astin as Doug.

I give the film a 6 out of ten, primarily because of Drew's playing a difficult role to be funny in and the great performances by Rob Schneider and Blake Clark. I also give Dan Aykroyd a thumbs up. He was classic as the doctor.

4. Drew was the only redeeming item in the whole movie

[Misunderestimator]

8. Drew's the best! The film was quite decent.

Anything that can make me laugh is decent in my book.

[El Fuego]

3. It was more serious than I'd thought it would be.

I liked it. At the end, it was a pretty deep movie.

6. I could relate to 10 second Bob.

[Dastard Stepchild]

7. I just can't buy Sandler as a "must-have" by the ladies...

A doofus, yes. Cassanova, no. That premise was less plausible than a walrus vomiting on cue.

9. But remember his stinkin rich

[Dastard Stepchild]

11. Oh yes... in real life it makes sense...

In the movie, though, he doesn't appear wealthy. :)

[MadisonProgressive]

14. Yeah, but Drew knew he was rich - otherwise she'd never kiss him

[AlCzervik]

10. The walrus projectile vomiting was the best part IMO

[SarahB]

12. It makes me cry.

Predictable, not great, but cute and makes me cry. I'd give it a :thumbsup:.

13. I really like both actors, but I said "sucked" cause...

I used to work with people with tramatic brain injury (TBI) and had a client just like her. It was so sad, and his life doesn't have the happy ending that the leading lady's does. We literally had the same conversations every day, and I could not teach him to learn anything new. He will never be able to work or live independently. So, the movie was too real for me....God, I hate motorcycles! :cry:
