50 first dates is one of those films by people who are obviously enjoying what they’re doing, and doing it well. the obvious comparison i completely missed in watching it (but was clued in to by the commentary with the director and drew barrymore) is with groundhog day, which is one of my favorite movies of all time. but it does go a completely different direction where it could have gone the same way, which was very smart.
