Fifty First Dates (2004 Peter Segal)

In the mould of Groundhog Day (George Wing only wrote one other film, then sensibly took up a real occupation in a circus) and populated by somewhat broad and farcical characters (muscle-building brother, stoned Hawaiian, androgynous marine assistant) set against endless background music tracks, 50 FIRST DATES is nevertheless enjoyable, widescreen, Hawaiian romcom-with-a-twist fun.

Cast: Adam Sandler, Drew (grand-daughter of John and grand-neice of Lionel) Barrymore, Rob Schneider (in lots of makeup), Sean Astin (brother), Lusia Strus (not really that questionable-looking), Dan Aykroyd (doctor), Amy Hill (diner owner), Blake Clark (father), Pomaika'i Brown (with the cleaver) and Maya Rudolph. Plus highly trained penguin and walruses.

The book Drew is reading is Still Life with Woodpecker.
