I was working in the locations dept on this one. During the scene where Adam was singing his song to drew, it was my job to keep the local Hawaiians down on the beach quiet. On a Friday night in Hawaii, those boys like to bring their own ukuleles to the party. It was a great show to work on overall. The whole cast was super friendly. And the crew were top notch. Summary below!
50 First Dates is a 2004 American romantic comedy film directed by Peter Segal and written by George Wing. The film stars Adam Sandler as a woman-chasing veterinarian and Drew Barrymore as an amnesiac, along with Rob Schneider, Sean Astin, Lusia Strus, Blake Clark, and Dan Aykroyd.
Most of the film was shot on location in Oahu, Hawaii on the Windward side and the North Shore. Sandler and Barrymore won an MTV award. This is the second of their two films to date as costars, the first being The Wedding Singer.
The fictitious memory impairment suffered by Barrymore's character, Goldfield's Syndrome, is similar to short term memory loss and Anterograde amnesia.
