In truth the number 50 is short, because every day is new to Lucy (Drew Barrymore) following a car accident that destroyed her short term memory. Her long term memory is in tact, but she cannot remember more than a day at a time. When she sleeps her memory is reset. Her father (Blake Clark) and brother (Sean Astin) try to rig things so every day will be the day that she can last remember. They have a stack of papers from that day. It is always the father's birthday because that is the day, and they always watch "Sixth Sense." Enter Henry (Adam Sandler) a worker at the aquarium, who meets this young woman and likes her. Next time he runs into her she doesn't remember him. He is puzzled, until her condition is explained to him. However he is determined to have breakfast with her. Using manipulation and lies, he finally does. However she is onto him, and nothing comes of it. He is determined, and starts to have some success over time. Then she has a bad day. A day in which she realizes time has past. Father and brother come to her rescue, and Henry develops a plan to have a relationship with her. The question is whether or not the plan will work. He introduces her to the accident, and her history, the very first thing she wakes up in the morning.
This is an enjoyable movie. Barrymore is always good. Sean Astin is in this movie, but this is not my favorite role for him.
