I like them all - yes, even Little Nicky. First off, I'm a big Adam Sandler fan and I'm not ashamed to admit it. But how can he have a relationship with a woman who doesn't remember who he is?ĥ0 First Dates is one of my favorite movies. Despite her condition, he cannot walk away from Lucy.
Every night when she falls asleep, her short term memory is wiped clean, causing her to wake up the next day believing it is her father's birthday from over a year before - the day she was injured. Henry soon learns that, due to a head injury, Lucy is suffering from the fictitious condition of Goldfield Syndrome - a form of amnesia. Despite his misgivings, Henry returns to the cafe the next day to meet her for breakfast again, only to find out that Lucy doesn't remember him at all. Henry has no choice but to come to terms with the fact that his greatest fear has just been realized: He has fallen in love with a local girl.
He can't resist the urge to meet her and when he does, the sparks between them are strong. Then one day, while having breakfast at the Hukilau Cafe after his boat breaks down, he becomes completely enchanted by Lucy Whitmore (Drew Barrymore) as he watches her create an amazing volcano out of her breakfast waffles and syrup. Fortunately, he lives in Hawaii, which affords him the opportunity to date lovely tourists, giving them the romantic time of their lives before bidding them farewell as they return home. Henry Roth (Adam Sandler) is a Veterinarian - romantic soul who is totally afraid of commitment.
