50 First Dates

This is the standard, familar Sandler flick. There's plenty of crudeness (and maybe even more than normal), a few completely bizarre, odd-ball characters, and typical Sandler moments. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, and there are definitely a few good laughs.

The plot centers around Sandler's shift from a self-centered one-night-stander to a one-woman man. Progress indeed. And notable is that this one woman begins each day with no short-term memory. So he must win her each and every day. Not a bad idea.

On a scale of Cocoa Beach, FL, (1) to Hawaii (the film's setting), it's a 3.35.
