Henry Roth (Adam Sandler), a marine-life veterinarian living in Hawaii, meets Lucy Whitmore (Drew Barrymore), an art teacher, in a cafe one morning. They eventually develop a relationship, but it soon emerges that Lucy suffers from anterograde amnesia (called 'Goldfield Syndrome' in the movie) from a car accident she was in a year earlier. Her condition has left her with no memory of anything between the day of the accident and the present, because she is incapable of converting short-term memories into long-term memories. At the beginning of each day, she loses all memory of the past day. She innocently believes every day to be October 13, 2002. Her father and brother attempt to reenact the activities of October 13th, her father's birthday, every day, to prevent her from suffering from learning about the accident.
Because of Lucy's condition, Henry is forced to find new and imaginative ways of winning Lucy over every day, to the disapproval of her father and brother. They order him to stop meeting her at the cafe, fearing that he will take advantage of her innocent state. Henry, in keeping with his promise, contrives to meet her each day as she is on the road driving home from the cafe. Her father and brother soon find out that he is still meeting her, because every time Lucy "meets" Henry she sings "Wouldn't It Be Nice" while she paints the garage. They agree to allow Henry to see Lucy because they appreciate his determination and the fact that he makes her happy, and the next morning Henry shows up at their house with a video explaining the accident and everything that has happened since.
One morning, Lucy wakes up to find Henry in her bed after spending the night together, doesn't recognize him, and attacks him. Henry leaves the room, and Lucy then overhears her doctor and Henry talking about how he will never achieve his dream to explore the Arctic and how Henry hopes and believes Lucy will remember him from day to day. Lucy then breaks up with Henry, feeling that she is keeping him from living his life fully, and burns all her journal entries about him so her memory of him will be gone for good.......(con't.... dont want to spoil it...)
Quirky, funny love story... Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler are cool actors/actress... 8/10

this is a really good movie... It's kinda depressing... by how much Sandler attempts to love her girl... Considering the fact that she will never remember
But it is really cute

funny but romantic at the same time to put so much effort into making her fall in love with him again and again

I remember this one. We had bought it off paperview and watched it over and over until the next morning. I find it was quite original, seeing as not much stuff are original anymore.

I was going to say something similar, Lune.
Yeah they paint this as a very sweet film but it's kind of MESSED UP that they go ahead and have a kid.
I suppose the argument to that is "would it be fair for her never to be able to get married and have kids?" but just think if the VCR ate the tape
or something while she was seven or eight months along?
Bad enough to wake up with the belly but to have no explination other than your dad and brother and "husband" saying it's OKAY.. yikes.
