1. Entertainment Weekly

7.5 / 10

As a comedy, "50 First Dates" is standard Sandler, but as a love story it left me pleasantly buzzed, if not quite punch-drunk.

"50 First Dates" has nothing going for it — and much going against it.

1. Nöjesguiden

6.6 / 10

Translated from swedish: Presumably, the commercial idea is that vague marijuana references and sexual innuendos will attract the guys, while the romantic framing will draw the girls to the theaters. The result is quite mixed. However, it's not entirely a failure.

2. Aftonbladet

6 / 10

Translated from swedish: "50 First Dates" is charming and funny, and it delivers a few surprises right to the heart. Exactly what you want from a romantic comedy. The couple Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler is also spot on. You can't help but fall a little in love with both of them, actually.

3. Game Reactor

6 / 10

Translated from swedish: "50 First Dates" is a laid-back, pleasant romantic comedy without any real belly laughs. The clichés are piled on top of each other, and some of the more drawn-out jokes feel a bit forced. But Sandler is, as usual, good as the charming dweeb, and Barrymore bubbles with charisma.

Translated from swedish: Subtle jokes about a constantly blossoming love

5. Moviezine

2 / 10

Translated from swedish: In "50 First Dates", the humor comes from the director, who, in a desperate attempt to compensate for the lack of plot, crams in various goofy characters in the background. And when none of those characters are played by Steve Buscemi, the rating can't be anything other than a one.

Translated from swedish: An insult against the romantic comedy as an intelligent art form.
