50 First Dates

“50 First Dates,” starring Adam Sandler as Henry and Drew Barrymore as Lucy, has its fair share of romance and laugh-out-loud comedy. Henry, a ladies man, that is until he meets darling Lucy.  Adam Sandler is known for his comedy movies, but this isn’t a regular comedy. However, the movie is quite the tearjerker with moments of sadness and hilarity.
