Gratuitous crude sexual jokes (e.g., guy licks coconuts he's wearing as drag get-up) and swearing totally cancel out a cute story. [Ditsy blond (i.e. no memory) female stereotype is the least of it's problems.) Who is this movie's target audience?

Funny and original.
Our entire family enjoyed this sweet, comical movie--not too over the top for kids and adults will crack up. More along the lines of what PG13 should look like.

Funny little date movie
Wow, did I miss something or am I really that desensized? I really don't remember all the crude sexual stuff the review mentioned. I can think of a few but don't recall it being so bad. Maybe I'm out to lunch but I thought it was funny and cute.

A sweet story marred by vulgarity
This is a really sweet story and one of the most original romatic comedy plots I've seen in years. It shows lessons about unconditional love and being attracted to people based on more than physical apperance. Unfortuantely, it seems Adam Sandler movies have to have a certain quoata of bad language, sick jokes and large quantities of vomit. If you can fast forward through that, enjoy. If you don't want your kids to think that kind of thing is funny, beware.

Sweet at times but too much gross-out humor
Adam Sandler movies are all pretty much the same, and this one follows the formula--average schlub falls for sweet woman. To keep the romantic elements from turning off teen boys, the writers insert lots of crass humor and bodily function jokes. Parts of the movie were funny; parts were offensive--same as always.

Raunchy, but sweet comedy for teens.
Parents should know that this warm comedy does contain crude references to drugs and sex. Discussion of "wet dreams," vomit, are abundant and there is off-color potty humor. Language is scattered along the film, but messages of love prevail.

Hilarious, but really not that great content-wise
This movie is one of my favorites, and is hilarious. When watching it, my mom cried with laughter! But there are some things you need to know before letting your kids watch it. First of all, there is TONS of sex and sexual references. Second, there is tons of language, that really shouldn't be in a PG-13 movie. And of course, there are product placements for spam ,the beach boys, and Reese's and smoking/drinking. Older, waaaaay more mature kids will enjoy it. When I first saw it, I didn't get half of it so that is the only way I have seen it.

=)
It is about a girl named Lucy (Drew Barrymoore) who got in a car and lost her memory and thinks every day is the same day. One day she met a man named Henrey (Adam Sandler) who takes a video and she watches it every morning like she's never seen it and she begins to write a diary. Then she has a child and lives on a boat to Alaska and he has a different video. It makes you relize how lucky we are.

Very origoinal, very sweet and very funny romantic comedy teens and parents will love!
This is a very, very, very good movie! it's sweet, funy, and very origional, but there are some issues: 1. mostly comic violince including bonks on the head. 2. Some strong language including pultiple S--t's, as well as A-s, Boobies, Bas--d, the fingier is flashed twice. 3. Quite a bite of sexual content including implied sex, and many sexual jokes. 4. it is implied that people are on drugs, but none are seen. OVerall this is a fantastic movie for teens and their parents.

Really Good
I don't understand why people don't like this movie. It's actually a great movie that's really funny. Okay, so maybe it's inapropriate but if you're at least 14 you should be able to handle the material the way an adult would. Although this movie wasn't made for kids it is so hilarious. I first saw it when I was 12 and really liked it sooooo.....rent it! It's fun!

Very funny!
The first time I saw this movie it really made me laugh! There is litte language and a lot of adult material. The only violance is showing a smashed car were a girl gets a head injery.

Funny yet sweet movie!
Some of the humor may be crude but for kids my age it would be considered as 'funny'. It was really sweet that Adam Sandler was taking Drew Barrymore out on dates, even though the next morning she wouldn't remember anything.

Stupid
I won't go into details, but 50 First Dates isn't a good movie. First of all, it is occasionally boring, also, it is directed terribly. The sexual content was also more than I could bear. Definately NOT acceptable.

One For the Kids
Adam Sandler has been my favorite actor for some time. Through his movies they have all been similar yet different in good ways. I have noticed his newer movies (since Big Daddy, my personal favorite movie) have been becoming more child friendly and less vulgar/rude (except Drunk Punch Love which doesn't really fit in with his other movies and Anger Management which wasn't very vulgar but not necessarily child friendly only because of sexual themes). That is a good thing for a mainstream audience. I thought the story was sad but had happy moments, it was great. The real thing to talk about though is Sean Astin. Being a fan of LotR I wanted to see how Sean Astin would be in a different role then Samwise Gamgee. He was really funny.

50 FIRST DATES
The movie 50 FIRST DATES was hilarious. I felt extreme sadness for the character Lucy in which she lives the same day over and over again not remebering what happened the last day. With commercialism they watch the movie THE SIXTH SENSE in which the film company Miramax and Blockbuster probably slipped a few bucks in since the movie is a Previously Viewed Tape from the store and a Miramax/Dimension movie. I loved and enjoyed this film so much!
