Sinopsis(1)
Henry Roth, un biólogo marino que vive en Hawaii, conoce a Lucy Whitmore, una profesora de arte, en una cafetería una mañana. Casualmente, entablan relación pero pronto se descubre que Lucy sufre de amnesia anterógrada a consecuencia de un accidente sufrido un año antes. El resultado es que no tiene ningún recuerdo de nada que haya pasado entre el día del accidente y el presente, porque Lucy es incapaz de convertir la memoria de corto plazo a largo plazo. Cada mañana se despierta habiendo perdido toda la memoria del día anterior. Cree, inocentemente, que cada día es 13 de octubre de 2002. Su hermano y padre actúan como si fuera ese día, el cumpleaños del padre, para evitar que Lucy sufra y descubra el accidente. (Sony Pictures Esp.)

Easily forgettable crap with a sort of time loop premise that was handled much more funnily and smartly in Ramis’s Groundhog Day. Surprisingly little awkwardness for Sandler, and the king of awkwardness here, Rob Schneider, is also mysteriously tolerable (except for a couple of dodgy jokes). The basic prerequisite for enjoying this comedy, however, is not to dwell on the holes in logic and the sheer ridiculousness of the plot. It was an almost impossible task for me.

Memento as a romantic comedy. Considering the fact that Adam Sandler, with his "acting talent," is not capable of carrying the entire film, supported by his long-time friend Rob Schneider, and Drew Barrymore's acting abilities can be debated in the long run, my level of expectation was zero. However, the outcome managed to exceed many of those low expectations. Undoubtedly, director Peter Segal deserves significant credit for managing to temper both "comedians" to a tolerable limit and, most importantly, allowing many of the jokes to go somehow beyond them. Thus, in the end, the entertaining aspect turns out to be the male walrus (in all possible meanings of the word) or the little penguin, who give absolutely fantastic performances, for which their keepers and trainers deserve major recognition. It is a shame that the plot is somewhat confused and illogical, but fortunately, the director manages to breathe life into it at the right moments. Without vulgarities and awkwardness, which were replaced by simplicity and playfulness, I believe that three stars are a very decent rating.

If Sandler had managed to leave out his typical toilet-humor elements which don’t really suit the concept of this movie, it could have been a great comedy. A nice, rather nutty idea with potential for lots of really good scenes was not used to the full. The result lies about half-way to its ideal destination. And it’s neither particularly funny, nor romantic. But it’s nice to watch and easy to relax to. In other words, it serves its purpose to the letter. And even Sandler is bearable in some places.

A fantastic pairing of Sandler and Barrymore in a pretty good movie with a pretty good subject. Somewhere in the beginning of the movie I realized I was having a really good time and by the end I realized I had actually shed a tear... this is what a romantic comedy is supposed to look like.

Each of us is intimately familiar with this situation: the smaller the expectations, the greater the enthusiasm for an otherwise average film. And vice versa - the greater the expectations, the more bitter the disappointment, even though objective reality is somewhere in the middle. I seriously expected very little from this movie, or rather "nothing." After watching it, I initially intended to give it four stars with excitement, but then I pondered it and erased a star. Rob Schneider is slightly less awkward than usual, but he still overacts and Sandler also recalls his worst acting several times (most notably in the scene where he cries on the boat, reminiscing about lost love). Nevertheless, despite all of this, it is still the best Sandler comedy with surprisingly civil performances from both main characters and a funny storyline. Overall impression: a decent 65%.

Another great Sandler movie, probably my third this month and I’m still loving this kind of comedy. Plus, the theme isn’t completely standard and it’s good. Drew Barrymore is enchanting, Sean Astin is hilarious and in my opinion the walrus and the penguin should win the best animals award 2004.

Universal life hack: If you are in a bad mood, watch 50 First Dates. The script perhaps is not tight enough to deserve cult status, but Hollywood would kill today for this load of great ideas, effective jokes and likeable characters. A film with not only Sandler but also Rob Schneider and the delicate Sean Astin at their comedic best – and every time I watch it is just as great fun as the first.

I simply like Adam Sandler and, as one of the few actors, he is capable of playing in a romantic comedy and being funny at the same time. This is a comedy that has an idea, an interesting story, and great characters, not only those in the main roles. Surprisingly, I liked this film even more after watching it for the second time.
