Fifty First Dates (2004)

 Did a whole a episode of the podcast about this one so I won't say much. Starts out as standard Adam Sandler gross out stuff, but is elevated by Drew Barrymore at peak adorableness playing a Hawaiian girl with a brain injury,which causes her mind to reset each time she sleeps to the morning of her accident. Sandler falls head over heels and puts aside his womanizing ways to concentrate on winning the same girl over and over again. The only reasons this ridiculous and only sporadically funny film works is because of the chemistry of its leads. But it works well enough that despite having some near painfully bad stuff in it, I'd still call it good. ***
