Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore are reunited after a successful lovepairing in 1998�s charming 80s-styled comedy The Wedding Singer. The years haven't faded the Cuteness and Lovableness of Adam and Drew in the lively 50 First Dates, coming out appropriately the weekend of Valentine's Day.

Now, I know what you might be thinking, that this single guy might not appreciate a lovey-dovey flick the weekend of the cheesy "Hallmark" holiday. Well, you'd be wrong.

I'm not bitter this Valentine's Day; I fully admit that I'm a sentimental schmuck, and quite enjoyed the movie and all it represents as millions of people get lucky this weekend while I eat pizza and watch basketball. Mmm, pizza.

	Before going out with Drew, Adam must get a seal of approval.

The plot is sort of a cross between Clean Slate and Groundhog Day. Drew has had no short-term memory over a year after a traffic accident. She remembers everything up to the day of the wreck, but nothing after. The next day she forgets what happened the day before, so her friends and family treat it as the day of the accident so as to minimize trauma.

Adam's an aquarium veterinarian who dates slutty women tourists out for a good time on vacation. He has no desire for a local relationship because of his dream of sailing to Alaska to study wildlife. But, of course, it's time for a Life Changing Experience, and when he meets Drew he spends the next days, weeks, months, getting her to fall in love with him. He has to do this every day, finding new ways to woo her and keep her happy.

(*Psst* Hey guys, the women in the audience will swoon. You will want to take advantage of this.)

I totally understand this premise. It happens to me all the time, meeting my destiny and she conveniently doesn't recognize me the next day. Obviously there are a lot of women with this affliction. At least now I can add Sandler's tactics to my Pick Up A Girl Handbook.

50 First Dates is a sweet comedy with a touch of Sandler-esque comedy to keep it farcical, too. There are colorful locals, plenty of adorable and well-trained animals, and the movie doesn�t spend a whole lot of time being sentimental before some sort of crazy antics between scenes for random funnies.

Sandler veteran Rob Schneider plays the best friend, an all-around moron and guttermouth who still manages to entertain. Drew�s brother is Samwise Gamgee himself, Sean Astin, a bodybuilder with mesh shirts and a lisp from taking steroids.

It also helps the movie to take place in Hawaii, so there's no shortage of gorgeous scenery.

Speaking of gorgeous scenery, Drew is as adorable as ever, and even though she has the awkward adversity, she doesn't take part in any of the pratfalls that I disliked in many of her previous roles. I love Drew in romantic comedies, but she needn't embarrass herself for laughs, since her natural comedic personality is cheerful enough to brighten my mood.

Sandler is another story. He's a polarizing actor, half of America ignoring him as a moron, the other half enjoying his immature hijinks. I've always been part of the latter group, finding him funny and endearing. While he still enjoys moments of hysterics, the last few years Sandler has been toned down, letting clever dialogue fill in the laughs more than stupid or gross-out comedy.

Another maturation for a Sandler comedy, the movie doesn�t wrap with some cutesy revelation for perfection, which is nice � the movie treats her misfortune as a continuation, but with a happy ending, of course.

50 First Dates is a candy-coated, easy-to-watch, even romantic movie you�d expect from Valentine�s Day. Even if you're alone.
