It was a resounding success.
Fans love Adam Sandler for “Happy Gilmore” and “Remote Control. With a Click for Life” or the voice actors of “Monsters on Vacation”, but haters do nothing more than list dozens of “embarrassing” rom-coms for a serious artist with the collaboration of a Hollywood star, who bends their fingers in ecstasy.
But no matter how critics criticize the romcom genre, we are sure that some of the most popular and funniest films are watched even by those who spit at the mere mention of a romantic comedy. And “50 First Dates” is such a film. It seems that absolutely everyone, from young to old, watched it. By the way, the comedy celebrated its 20th anniversary this year.
Just to be sure, let’s remind you what the plot is about: ladies’ man Henry meets the blonde Lucy and cannot resist her charisma and charm. The couple has a great time together, but after a while this becomes clear: after a serious car accident, Lucy has one flaw: a memory disorder, partial, but a disability.
The girl lives the same day in and day out and doesn’t even know how terrible her diagnosis is. And Henry gets to know her every time anew and doesn’t give up, even though the girl’s whole family is against this novel, given Lucy’s condition.
The film received a 7.3 on Kinopoisk (not a bad review). However, much more could have been achieved if the audience knew the ins and outs of making a comedy. It turns out that the film is based on a true story. Lincolnshire resident Michelle Philpots, like the heroine of 50 First Dates, woke up every morning thinking it was 1994.
She, like Lucy, was the victim of an accident and suffered a head injury. The British woman completely forgets every day the day she lived. And she has a husband who believes in healing and does not lose courage.
By the way, there are a number of cult films and TV series based on real events, but few people know about them. Now we will show:
